Hey, a hit!

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09

JHJ grounds a single to CF to start the 3rd, so the no-hitter is by the wayside...

Hanigan up.

Bad first innings damage our ability to keep things in perspective.

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09

Well, first innings also on occasion lose games for this team. There is not much margin for error today..

Hanigan bloops a hit to RF, runners at first and second, Arroyo up with no outs.

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09

Arroyo does his job, geting a perfect bunt down, and moves the runners along.

JHJ at third, Hanigan at second, one out.

C'mon, Dickerson.

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09

Superb bunt by Arroyo there; wouldn't mind having him take a slug bunt there though.

Yes, I don't like the trend of a bad first inning, pitching sharp for a while, then leaving in trouble.

Dickerson jammed, pops out to SS.

Rats.

Two outs.

C'mon, Willy T.

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09

Man, reds, really needed to push across at least one there. Frustrating.

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09

Dickerson pops up and fails to get the runner on third home but he also spoiled a couple of excellent pitches.... Carpenter wins but Dickerson did a good job...

Two CF in the line-up leave 'em on 2nd and 3rd.
