Re: Reds vs Pirates

Two runs will be enough. Anyone concerned about Phillips yet?

Re: Reds vs Pirates

Which Red gets drilled today? Which inning?

I will go with Bruce in the first.

Re: Reds vs Pirates

Dusty on the postgame last night said Phillips did not play because they would have had to pinch run for him in a tight spot and he did not have mobility. Retroactive DL him? Cairo and Valdez can handle the spot and will not kill the team.

Not really concerned yet. Between us winning without him and the Pirates being out for blood, I think it just makes it easier for Dusty to continue to give him rest. Otherwise I get the feeling he could have played yesterday.

Re: Reds vs Pirates

It's bizarre to me that Phillips was a late scratch yesterday and then he wasn't even capable of pinch-hitting. Did something happen yesterday in BP or warmups I wonder?

Re: Reds vs Pirates

There was a tweet last night from a Pirates beat writer. He said AJ Burnett was in the dugout pointing out all of the Reds he planned on drilling tonight. Something like this guy, then that guy, then that guy...

Yeah....it's early August with about 55 games remaining.....if he took 30 seconds to circle the bases 4 days ago and needs a pinch runner still.....I don't want to see him in a game for a week. Don't mostly heal....heal. We don't want Phillips at 75% for the rest of the year....let's sit him a bit and have him 95-100% from Sept and on.

Re: Reds vs Pirates

Homer should plunk their lead off guy with a curve ball. Cause both benches to get warned again and save our hitters from getting hit.

They owe you one when someone is hit on purpose, no one was hit on purpose.

Re: Reds vs Pirates

Winning the first two games of this important series makes it easier to give Phillips another day to heal before a road trip.

I think that's all it is.

No matter what happens today, the Reds leave this series with a bigger lead over Pittsburgh than when the series started.
