Game Thread 9/10 vs Pirates (Aurilia not batting 4th!!)

[Tornon]

He's batting third instead! :bang:

[KronoRed]

No reason at all to have him in the 3 spot over Kearns if it's some sort of anti-lefty thing, because obviously Dunn should be there.

[Tornon]

By the way, the whole lineups:
Pittsburgh:
McLouth CF
J. Wilson SS
Bay LF
Ward 1B
C.Wilson RF
Mackowiak 3B
Doumit C
Sanchez 2B
Wells P

Cincinnati:
Freel CF
Lopez SS
Aurilia 2B
Dunn LF
Casey 1B
Kearns RF
Valentin C
Encarnacion 3B
Ortiz P

Freel/Aurilia/Lopez/Valentin up the middle, not exactly the Reds finest hour in that aspect of the game.

[KronoRed]

2 days in a of 'worst lineup ever'

[Tornon]

- McLouth singled
- Wilson lined to Dunn
- Bay singled, McLouth to third
- Ward hit a deep drive to right the Kearns caught, McLouth scored
- Wilson struck out swinging
1-0 Pirates middle of 1

[Tornon]

Lopez walks

[Tornon]

Aurilia walks to load the bases

[Tornon]

Dunn Ks swinging, 1 out

[OnBaseMachine]

I'm not a fan of the RBI stat, but I would like to see Dunn reach 100 rbi, 100 runs and 100 walks for the second straight season, that would make him the first Red to do that. But you can probably forget about him reaching 100 run batted in. Lately it's been either a popout or strikeout with runners in scoring position.

[Tornon]

Casey hits a sac fly to center, Freel scored & Lopez moves up. 1-1 game

[Tornon]

Kearns Ks going too far on a 3-2 pitch, 1-1 after 1

[OnBaseMachine]

Kearns goes after ball four. Seems like we been saying that about the offense a lot lately.

September offense has been anemic, averaging only 3.9 runs per game.

Thanks for the PBP, Tornon. Much appreciated!

That probably just means that neither Pittsburgh nor Cincinnati is televising the game

[flyer85]

How wild has wells been?6 walks speaks for itself

[Tornon]

How wild has wells been?

I'm not watching the game right now, just listening but 45 balls, 39 strikes, 2 wild pitches

Go Reds. This would be a great win.

[Reds Nd2]

Well, it isn't an FSN game and the audio is definantly from WLW 700, but no Marty, just Steve. It's kinda' cool, watching the Reds with the home broadcasters and not having to listen to Marty or George. I could get spoiled. :)

[Tornon]

Casey grounds to second on the 10th pitch of the at bat, 6-2 Reds after 4

Didn't you get Marty during the innings he covered (ie 1 & 2)?

[Tornon]

Wilson grounds to Encarnacion, 6-2 Reds middle of 5

[Tornon]

Kearns grounds to third, 1 out

[Tornon]

Valentin flies to fairly deep left, 2 out

[Tornon]

Encarnacion hits a homerun foul and then he drills one to third that Mackowiak robs him on, 6-2 Reds after 5

[Reds Nd2]

Didn't you get Marty during the innings he covered (ie 1 & 2)?

I spoke too soon. Marty's doing the PBP now. T, I missed the first couple of innings. Basically, I'm getting to watch the Reds and listen to Marty and Steve tonight.

Good job on the PBP tonight. :clap:

Is there Marty now? It's his inning...

[SirFelixCat]

I think Texas finds a way to win this one.



And, as much as it scares me to say this...Ortiz has really looked solid the last month or two. Coming back to career norms (ie couldn't be any worse than he was ala Milton) or turning a corner?

[Tornon]

Meadows lines to Kearns, 6-2 Reds middle of 6

A.J. Hawk picks off young, Buckeyes have the ball at the Texas 20

[Matt700wlw]

I think Texas finds a way to win this one.





Buckeyes starting to do what the Buckeyes do

[Aronchis]

OSU's talent on offense is built around Troy Smith, almost a mid-90's Charlie Ward FSU type offense(Woody sobs). But they started Zwick. Come on :thumbdown

[Tornon]

Freel grounds to second, 2 out
