Game Thread 7/26 Redlegs vs. Dodgers -

[NC Reds]

Reds pitching makes Repko look like an All-Star at the plate. Sad.

[Falls City Beer]

Reds pitching makes Repko look like an All-Star at the plate. Sad.

That makes two consecutive nights where Reds pitching is swatted around by the bad part of a bad lineup.

[Falls City Beer]

Make that that three pitchers in two nights getting knocked around by fleas.

[WVRedsFan]

Asleep at the switch. Past six and you gamble. Such is the MO of Jerry Narron. If they get a hit you must make him sit.

4-3 Dodgers

[Gallen5862]

Thats a shame for Milton that Narron ruined his effort by waiting to late. Now He has to hope we get him off the hook.

If you can't retire Repko, then maybe you don't need to be out on the mound in the first place.

[RedsMan3203]

I'm tired............. And the Reds lost the lead.

[WVRedsFan]

Anybody warming up?

Belisle ain't got it. Why continue with him? Drives me nuts. This could blow the game open, but still we continue.

[Aronchis]

This what happens when the Reds get on the road, they get lethargic and lackluster. To much boozing obviously :beerme:

At some point, you gotta key in and take a situation handed to you. This team never does.

[Falls City Beer]

Belisle is not your savior.

'Night folks.

[WVRedsFan]

This is going to get ugly quick. Why?

[WVRedsFan]

Here comes Narron--again two batters late.

[fsp382]

Is it just me or did Junior get a horrible jump on that ball? Seems like it should have been caught.

[Gallen5862]

Belisle was rocked.

[pedro]

Just got home, looks like EE is having a good game. Comments?

Jack Daniels has a tendency to do that. ;)

You would think Narron would have been able to figure out Milton's MO by now, the rest of us have. This happens time and again with Eric, when he loses it for the night, it is obvious. All at once, meatball city if he can manage to get it over the plate. You would think that would be a partial good thing in the late innings - at least you know when to pull him...I mean at least we know when to pull him.

[WVRedsFan]

Junior's over the hill--done. Ready for the nursing home. Next case...


NOT!!!

[Gallen5862]

Coffey into pitch.

[Gallen5862]

Great job Coffey.

[WVRedsFan]

A cup of Coffey and we're out of it.

Of course, you start with Belisle, then go to...oh, that was the last manager... :)

Never mind.

3-5 bad guys and there was no reason for it IMHO.

[Aronchis]

What is it with Coffey and 1st pitch DP's lately?

[RBA]

Is it just me or did Junior get a horrible jump on that ball? Seems like it should have been caught.

I guess he could of dove for the ball with the bases loaded. And if he would of missed it all together, it would be a possible inside the parker grand slam.

Jr, probably made the right decision.

[OnBaseMachine]

Just got home, looks like EE is having a good game. Comments?

EE has had three very good atbats tonight. His only out resulted in a 6-pitch atbat in which he just missed hitting a homerun on a foul. He has a beautiful swing. His quick bat and solid above average plate discipline will make him a perennial .295/.370/.500 hitter. IMO.

[RBA]

Jr Gone!

[Big Klu]

That one sounded awfully good coming off the bat.

[Matt700wlw]

Well....Junior helps

[Super_Barry11]

Belisle is not your savior.

:cry: Poor Matt...

At least Coffey came in and took care of the rest rather efficiently. ;)

[Gallen5862]

Junior Homerun. :party: :rockband:

[OnBaseMachine]

EE will homer in his next atbat.

[WVRedsFan]

Junior. Clutch.

Of course, Casey hits for higher average and smiles more. :bang:

Scully: "Barely out, but that's all that matters."

[Gallen5862]

Alverez in to pitch.

[RBA]

Casey singles up the middle. Sanchez coming in.

[flyer85]

Does Dunn PH here?

Pinch RUn for Casey?

[bleedsred]

Casey singles....pitching change coming...

[Gallen5862]

Aam Dunn to pinchhit for WMP.

[oregonred]

Dunn PH for Pena.

The pitching sucks on ice, but this is one loaded offensive team...

[bleedsred]

Does Dunn PH here?



I'm wondering the same thing......or do you save him for the ninth and roll the dice with Pena....GOD, he is due....I THINK....

[bleedsred]

Dunn it is

[Gallen5862]

Dunn groundsout.

[SteelSD]

Dunn gets to 3-1, fouls off two pitches and then puts a swing on ball four that Casey should be proud of.

Adam...take the Walk.

thanks. sounds good. I see Milton took one back too. :)

[Matt700wlw]

Alyssa Milano in the house

[oregonred]

Fear the Repko... :thumbdown

[PickOff]

Alyssa Milano in the house

Is she at the game, or in your house? If you're married I hope the game, otherwise.......

[SteelSD]

HR Dodgers.

7-4 now. This pitching staff is a complete mess.

[flyer85]

hanging slider ... see ya

[Gallen5862]

Coffey gives up a 2 run Milton.

[Matt700wlw]

Is she at the game, or in your house? If you're married I hope the game, otherwise.......

I'm not married...I wish she was with me :)

[flyer85]

Coffey's WHIP is fast approaching 2. Why he is here and not Booker I have no idea

[oregonred]

This staff has an amazing ability never to get that third out in an inning...

2 run dinger... Gametime

[Gallen5862]

Should we bring in Standridge?

[flyer85]

Coffey does have the pitch to contact down

[Gallen5862]

Merker coming in to pitch.

[flyer85]

even before tonight opposing batters were hitting over .370 off of Coffey

[Gallen5862]

7-4 Dodgers going to the top of the 9th.

[Gallen5862]

EE with another hit.

[Gallen5862]

Lopez ph and lines out.

[Gallen5862]

Valentin to ph.

[Gallen5862]

He popsup. Jacob cruz to ph.

[Gallen5862]

Cruz grounds out. Dodgers win 7-4.

[redsrule2500]

psh road games suck this year.

[WVRedsFan]

Staying up late to watch and listen to these games have always (almost) been an exercise in frustration. Dodgers win 7-4.

I would blame Narron for marching Milton out in the 7th, but what came after was a complete disaster so I understand why the attempt was made.

Maybe someday while I'm in the rest home, the Reds will become a winning team. I guess it's something to look forward to at least.

[KronoRed]

You Only Live Twice ended nicely, so the evening wasn't a total loss. ;)

[cumberlandreds]

Wow! What a bad play by Repko in RF!

What did Vin say about that?

"They don't make a glove big enough for Repko" Vin Scully


Just kidding,I don't what he said. :)

[Big Klu]

"They don't make a glove big enough for Repko" Vin Scully


Just kidding,I don't what he said. :)

I was just wondering. I didn't mean it in a sarcastic way--I actually wanted to know what his comments were. He has such a smooth way of describing things, like when when he said that it doesn't require two people to catch a pop fly when Aurilia botched that fly ball to Kearns the night before.
