Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09
Thurston grounds to 1b.

Real, REAL, nice work from Josh Roenicke this game.

Middle of 7, 8-0 Cardinals.

Quest for the improbabe 9-run comeback moves into the later innings...

Sounds fine to me, and I agree that Bruce could use some off-days against lefties.

I would for sure sit him against Hamels tomorrow...

Votto singles to RF to start the 7th. Quest for 9-runs is underway!

Phillips grounds out to 1b on the first pitch he sees. That's not helping the quest.

Votto to second, one out.

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09
Bruce triples to left-center. Probably should have been out at 3b, but throw was dropped at 3b. Weird risk to take.

Regardless, Reds are on the board.

8-1 Cards. Quest has taken its first steps.

Bruce lucks out. Why risk it there?

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09
EE pops out to short CF. Why does EE hate the quest?

Two down, Bruce still on 3b.

Pitchers spot up, Nix pinch hits for Roenicke.

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09
I agree with Welsh's comments that this team is more then one player away from contention. So why sacrifice prospects for that one player, risk the future, who may be only a rental, and probably isn't going to get us over that hump.

Nix Ks.

Not liking the lack of support for the quest, Reds team.

Regardless, the first step is taken.

8-1 Cards after 7.

Carlos Fisher in to face the Cards in the 8th. The evil Hoffpauer to the dish for St. Louis.

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09
Fisher walks Hoffpauer.

Does anyone know why the Reds relievers fear Hoffpauer so very, very much?

No rentals. But prospects fail and when they succeed it frequently takes a number of years. Team needs to be smart, but active.

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09
Fisher has good stuff but his control is erratic ...which will lead to a trip back to AAA.
