One of the most solid contributors to Houston's success at home as been rookie right-hander Lucas Harrell.

Harrell ranks first in the NL and fourth in the Majors in innings pitched as a rookie, tossing 114.2 so far this season while posting a 7-7 record and 4.24 ERA

In seven starts at home this year, Harrell is 5-1 with a 1.99 ERA. He is coming off one of his best outings of the season Thursday, despite receiving a loss.

Harrell tossed seven innings, allowing just one run and four hits, but fell victim of a one-hitter tossed by the Padres' Edinson Volquez.
The Reds beat young Mr. Harrell in Cincinnati back in April 6-0. Phillips and Bruce each had two hits Bruce's being a 2r HR and a double.

Prob a decent idea to get the guy at bats, but I hate to see Ludwick with how he has been swinging given the day off.

Re: 7.24.12 Reds @ Astros

I have no problem getting Paul a start, though I'd prefer it in center; but has Frazier really not earned himself a spot in the order above Xavier Paul? Really?

Re: 7.24.12 Reds @ Astros

Mr. Harrell has allowed an OPS against of .791 to lefty hitters in his career. .693 against righties. Thus, Xavier Paul.

Ths split, however, is much less pronounced for 2012.

Re: 7.24.12 Reds @ Astros

My first reaction was, "Paul who?"

Janish?
Wilson?
O'Neill?
Householder?
Derringer?
Lynde? (No, he would be in the center square.)

Re: 7.24.12 Reds @ Astros

He's batting Frazier 7th behind Paul and Rolen? My gosh. Rolen okay maybe I can go with that (I think its nuts) but Paul? Why? Paul has zero hits and 1 walk so far. Yeah I know only a few appearances but still his ML history says he is not a good hitter...I do not understand the Dust man sometimes

PS - I certanly hope Paul goes 4-4 and makes my griping look stupid!!

McCartney. The Reds need his lefty bat.

sorry when I posted the lineup I blanked on Paul's first name. Oliver was all that came to mind but I knew that was wrong.

Re: 7.24.12 Reds @ Astros

What do people think of keeping PBP in this thread to updates on this game? There is a scoreboard watching thread to follow the other games. Some updates are fine in my book but last nights thread was confusing at times.

If no one else cares, go for it. I am probably crashing early tonight. I just ran into issues a couple of times last night when post was along the lines of "Soto files out to left" and I couldn't think of anyone on the Astros called Soto.

Re: 7.24.12 Reds @ Astros

Is this the game thread?

If it is, with one out in the first Stubbs took strike three. Ball had movement but, you know.

I'm with you.. At least preface the comment with PIRATES GAME or what have you.
