Game Thread 7-15 Reds vs Rockies (Same old) - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

Rockies:

1. Sullivan CF
2. Miles 2B
3. Helton 1B
4. Atkins 3B
5. Byrnes LF
6. Piedra RF
7. Gonzalez SS
8. Ardoin C
9. Jennings P

Reds

1. Lopez SS
2. Aurilia 2B
3. Casey 1B
4. Griffey CF
5. Randa 3B
6. Dunn LF
7. Pena RF
8. LaRue C
9. Harang P

The Rockies lineup is almost as bad as the Reds Sept 2002 lineups.

Here's to a win!

Two of our best hitters batting 6th and 7th again. Hell, why not bat Lopez 8th while you're at it?

Cyclone792 · 07-15-2005, 06:21 PM

Two of our worst hitters batting 2nd and 3rd too.

I do think I've finally found O'Brien and Narron's strategy with this, though. They've calculated thus far that the typical first inning with this lineup will produce a scenario of ...

Lopez singles
Aurilia pops out
Casey grounds into a Casey, ending the inning.

Now here's the kicker: their strategy is then to lead off with Griffey in the second inning, and hammer in some runs with the true meat of the order! Get some guys on, bring some power to the plate, have the pitcher in there to give up an out in order to move runners over, then have Lopez at the back end cleaning up any leftovers. Finally, Aurilia and Casey are back up to the plate after the rest of the lineup has done the damage.

Don't give these morons any ideas.

I don't see Aurilia being moved out of the 2 hole until he is traded. It would be amazing if we could get a legitimate prospect for him.

DoogMinAmo · 07-15-2005, 06:48 PM

I think they are shining up Aurilia and Casey for a trade, which means protect them and get them ABs.

Wait did I say think, I meant really, really, really hope.

Brilliant, Cyclone. You may have done that tongue firmly in cheek... but, well, you know.

Buckeye33 · 07-15-2005, 07:07 PM

Well damn, the game was listed as being on TV tonight here in Columbus and it's not on so far.

Anyone else having this problem?

Looks like I may be screwed tonight. It was suppose to be on the FSN Alternate channel here in Columbus and instead that channel has G4 network on.

Fun.

DoogMinAmo · 07-15-2005, 07:12 PM

I am calling the complete game from Harang tonight. A HR from both Dunn and Randa, and Casey has 1 Casey.

kheidg- · 07-15-2005, 07:14 PM

I think Casey will start the second half off good and go 3-4 with a HR.

The king is in chat just in case anyone wants to know.

DoogMinAmo · 07-15-2005, 07:14 PM

Cringe alert: Leadoff batter for the Rockies, Cory Sullivan, has a .326 OBP and dropping. Yeah thats right, I said OBP, and I won't mention his .654 OPS, nope not at all. Sheesh, if the Reds don;t sweep, I will be disappointed. Revenge aside, this Rockies team blows now.

O.K. GAC, where the heck are ya?
