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. |

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.

Nice bunt by Arroyo

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals - 7/5/09
Yes, I don't like the trend of a bad first inning, pitching sharp for a while, then leaving in trouble.

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.
