Hamilton CF
Pena 1B
Frazier 3B
Mesoraco C
Phillips 2B
Bruce RF
Ludwick LF
Cozart SS
Holmberg LHP



I know he pitched well in relief last time out, but I see disaster in the form of Holmberg facing Gomez, Gennett, Lucroy, Ramirez, and Braun in consecutive order.

Game hasn't started yet for some reason.

They pushed the start time back to give the crowd more time to get in.

Sellout crowd and they implemented stricter security measures I hear.

So, I guess #Brewers-Reds aren't going to start on time because of the very long lines outside. So, looks like we need practice on screening



Tom @Haudricourt · 3m
Hank Bobblehead + tailgating + full security screening = 6:25 p.m. start at Miller Park for #Brewers vs. Reds.



Tom @Haudricourt · 2m
Next year, there will be full security screening at all ballparks by MLB mandate so fans might as well get used to it.

I don't understand why they decided to implement it near the end of the season. Some sort of pilot program?

We should've did a pool on how many innings we think Holmberg will last tonight.

Will Holmberg struggle since he isn't pitching in relief tonight?

Holmerg hits Gomez in the leg.

This is a very Holmberg-ian start.

villain612
09-13-2014, 07:40 PM
Holmberg with a no hitter so far.

But he's hit Gomez and just walked Braun.

Should have started Hoover and relieved him with Holmberg almost immediately.

Tom Servo

Interesting base running by Gomez.

villain612
09-13-2014, 07:45 PM
Gomez has no idea how to run the bases.

He'd fit perfectly on our team.

Larkin Fan

Gomez personifies the TOOTBLAN.

You can just see the 3 run homer coming.

Clint Hurdle just called Jocketty and asked what it would take to get Holmberg.

Holmberg still with a no hitter.

0-0 after 1

Maybe Holmberg can relieve himself.

Tom Servo

Looked like Gomez was dogging it on that groundout.

One would hope.

1-0 Redlegs on a based loaded walk by BP.

Larkin Fan
09-13-2014, 08:33 PM
Gallardo can't seem to find the strikezone and walks in a run. 1-0 Redlegs.

Tom Servo
09-13-2014, 08:34 PM
Sac fly makes it 2-0 Redlegs but a TOOTBLAN by Rocco results in a 2nd out. Ugh.

Larkin Fan
09-13-2014, 08:34 PM
Mesoraco TOOTBLAN

The Reds truly need to go back to Baserunning 101. Every single damn one of them.

Tom Servo

Solo HR by A-Ram. 2-1 game.

Larkin Fan

That base running play was intended to make sure the runner scored. Draw the throw at third, let the runner score.
We've seen it often from the Reds this year. Usually unnecessary play, leads to extra outs, but not uncommon.

You might be right. The third baseman leapt to snag the non-cutoff-throw to make the play happen.

But what sense does it make with the bases loaded and no outs?

I think Frazier scores on that FO 90% of the time. Without any help.

Also, if the Brewers let Holmie beat them, they may as well fold their tents.

Mutaman
09-13-2014, 09:31 PM
Now he has for sure.

Location, location, location. And changing speeds a little bit. And taking advantage of A team that's pressing.

Once Frazier heads home, Mes evaluates. He thinks the play at home will be close. He then goes to third to draw a throw. Frazier then scores easily.

It's an instinctive play by Mes. It happens all the time these days. As I said, it's often unnecessary to score the run. But you see it frequently.

If the Reds hold on, I'd like to see them do a World Series type celebration.

Since the Brewers did one last night. And the two teams have about the same chance for the World Series IMO.

I've been really pleased with Corcino and Holmberg the last two nights.

That's also the second straight performance for Holmberg, where he actually looked like he might be useful going forward.

Different mannerisms...but Gomez loves playing this game as much as Phillips
