[texasdave]

Uneventful first inning of play. Chris Welsh pushing for Riggleman a bit.

Uneventful second inning of play. George Grande looking for a double play with two outs.

[Ron Madden]

No score after 1 inning.


I guess everyone is watching football.

[Ron Madden]

Not sure who I'd rather see win the 2nd wildcard, LA or St. Louis.

No score after 2 innings

[Ron Madden]

Uneventful first inning of play. Chris Welsh pushing for Riggleman a bit.

Uneventful second inning of play. George Grande looking for a double play with two outs.

I don’t know where else to put this...

It doesn’t relate to George and Chris today, but you know one of my favorite things I like to hear as I watch different games? The PBP guy reads a promo (let’s say during a NCAA game they read an NFL promo). The PBP guy kinda leaves it hanging with an opinion, hoping the color guy adds on...but it’s just weird silence and the color guy goes back to the game at hand. Hilariously awkward.

Thom runs into that issue with Chris at times...

[texasdave]

This just in - Billy Hamilton is very fast. Triple + Sac Fly = 1-run lead for the Reds.

Not sure why there was no throw on the sac fly. You never know.

Chris Dickerson with a "Whoa, Nelly!" catch.

[texasdave]

Lorenzen has pitched shutout ball for four innings so far. If they held an arm-wrestling contest on the Reds, put your money on Michael. He has some guns.

[Ron Madden]

Geno!!!!

Geno goes Boom!
2-0 Reds

[Ron Madden]

Dilson rips a double down the LF line.

[texasdave]

Herrera has struck out an ungodly amount of times since being recalled. But when bat meets ball, he has some thump.

[Ron Madden]

Lorenzen singles to LF Dilson scores!

3-0 Reds

[texasdave]

I have no idea what Billy Hatcher was thinking when he sent Herrera, but it worked. Dilson was dead to rights. Lorenzen picks up RBI number 10 on the season.

[Ron Madden]

Reds 3
Pirates 0

After 4 innings

[texasdave]

Another scoreless frame by Lorenzen, who has been very pitch efficient today. 57 pitches through 5 innings.

[Ron Madden]

How long will Riggleman go with Lorenzen today?

He's lookin good through 5 innings so far.

[Ron Madden]

Mason Williams with another hit.

He's 3 for 3 today

[Ron Madden]

Reds 3
Pirates 0

After 5 innings

[Ron Madden]

Looks like a pretty good sized crowd in the park today.

[Ron Madden]

Nice play by Peraza

[Ron Madden]

Looks like Mike is starting to lose a little of his command.

And that's all for Lorenzen today as he leaves with the bases loaded.

Hernandez now pitching

[Ron Madden]

Hernandez does a good job getting the finale out of the inning to leave the bases loaded.

[Ron Madden]

Still 3-0 Reds after 6 innings

[Ron Madden]

Another nice play by Peraza

[Ron Madden]

And Another Fine play by Peraza!

[Ron Madden]

I like Jared Hughes.
He's done a helluva job this season.

[Ron Madden]

Reds 3
Pirates 0

End of the 8th

[Ron Madden]

Reds Win!!!

One game left in the season of 2018.

It's been a disappointing year but I always hate to see the season come to an end.

[Tom Servo]

We're good again! :beerme:

Thanks, Ron. I followed the game progression through you.

[Mutaman]

Boys looked pretty good today. Maybe we should just stand pat like we did last off season.

[Roy Tucker]

Mason Williams with another hit.

He's 3 for 3 today

Classical gas.
