Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
Frazier swings at ball 4 and grounds out. Game over.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
That actually hurt a little. Amazing how little pain I've actually felt this season.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
I hope what the team takes from this is that every game is winnable.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
For the record, I would have pinch hit Cozart for Valdez and had Hoover up instead of Ondrusek weeks ago. Still that's the not why the Reds lost this game.

I've shaken it off already. The magic number went down today.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
Have to give them credit for coming back like that at the end of a doubleheader.

Call me crazy, but this was the best loss of the season, lol.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
Now if you excuse me I'm heading out to stir up the Ondrusek thread...
Just kidding, that will take care of itself. |

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
I do not want to see Ondrusek or Valdez in these types of games in the post season, ever, I do not want to see them play at all in close games, in those circumstances.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
It's nice to be in a position where losing a game (or even a few in a row) isn't that "big" of a deal...this team is special, and there's something really cool going on right now.
Tonight would have been a different situation had the Cubs faced one of the the Reds actual starters, I think. Redmon was put in a tough spot to make his debut. Get 'em tomorrow!

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
Redmon reminded me of the pitchers we would see in the lost decade. Just not very good. I doubt we see him again unless there are a lot injuries. Still a good comeback that did fall just short. This team is good and I expect a good comeback tomorrow with Latos pitching.

Tonight was a good example - lay it on late when the pressure's on, have a couple of weak links that don't come through, and 8 runs are just too much when you can't push a couple more over the plate in the first 5 innings - it's like they just coast along with their starters until it counts. I really think there's something to that with them. |
