5/1/09 Reds @ Pirates

Reds:

Willy Taveras cf
Jerry Hairston Jr. lf
Joey Votto 1b
Brandon Phillips 2b
Jay Bruce rf
Adam Rosales 3b
Alex Gonzalez ss
Ryan Hanigan c
Bronson Arroyo p


Pirates:


Morgan - LF
Sanchez - 2B
McLouth - CF
Adam LaRoche - 1B
Hinske - RF
Andy LaRoche - 3B
Jaramillo - C
Bixler - SS
Duke - P (LHP)

Currently the Pirates don't feel the need to field a line up in order to beat the Reds and therefore they have not set one.

Re: 5/1/09 Reds @ Pirates

It would be nice to take three of five on this road trip. Taking two of three in Pittsburgh would be a great start.

Re: 5/1/09 Reds @ Pirates

Man, I'd love to see the Reds start this RT off w/ a win vs a LHP.

Go Reds!

Re: 5/1/09 Reds @ Pirates

That said, how long has it been since Janish has played? Seems like a long time ago...might only be 5-6 days, but seems like it's been forever.

Re: 5/1/09 Reds @ Pirates

Willy T starts off w/ a bunt foul, then takes a ball low and in, then fouls it off down eB line, 1-2 on WillyT.

And that's 25 pushups, Willy. F8, 1 down.

I have been very unimpressed with Taveras' bunting ability.

Re: 5/1/09 Reds @ Pirates

Hairston takes an 0-2 fastball right down the middle for strike three.

Seriously...

I mean, why is it that it seems every other team's announcers are cordial towards the Reds, but they're still homers, to a point. Not George and Chris. Make my ears bleed.


And not the best start for the game there...a silent 1-2-3. Votto grounds out weakly to 2B.

As impressed as I've been w/ his willingness to take a BB this season, I wholeheartedly agree w/ you. His bunting has really left something to be desired.

Nyjer Morgan continues to kill Reds pitching. Lead off single.
