September 18th game thread Reds-Cards

Jerry Hairston Jr. 2b
Jeff Keppinger ss
Joey Votto 1b
Jay Bruce rf
Jolbert Cabrera lf
Corey Patterson cf
Adam Rosales 3b
Paul Bako c
Edinson Volquez p

I'd like to have seen Janish in at SS to provide the defensive upgrade.

Re: September 18th game thread Reds-Cards

Volquez has thrown 117+ pitches in three straight starts...it will be interesting to see how he bounces back tonight.

Re: September 18th game thread Reds-Cards

I look for Pujols to have a huge game tonight. He's 0-for-8 in this series so he's long overdue.

Schumaker grounds out.

Volquez gets ahead 1-2 on Miles and comes back to walk him. Man. You can't walk weak hitters like that with Pujols on deck.

Pujols walks. Volquez is no where near the strikezone tonight. He looks tired.

Re: September 18th game thread Reds-Cards

I raised this in a ST game thread but I am concerned by the Reds being so brazen in the lineup that they put that many batters up in a row with names starting with a J.
What if St. Louis brought Joel, Josh, or Jason (not that one he's hurt, the other one) out of the pen?

Lopez flied out and Glaus popped out. No score after a 1/2 inning.

Maybe they are trying for an Astros thing with the Killer B's?
The Jostling J's?

All they had to do is have Jeremy start, Javy catch and teach Josh to play third and Jerod to play third. That would be the ultimate J lineup.

Hairston gets rung up on a low fastball. I hope Volquez gets that call tonight.

Keppinger flies out to CF and Votto grounds out sharply on 3-1.

Bruce K's looking.

Cabrera reaches on a two base throwing error by Izturis and advances to third on a wild pitch.
