[edabbs44]

Not bad...EE in the 7 spot is a little surprising.

[harangatang]

I was hoping we'd Winnie the Pooh today. My second choice would be Eeyore.

[Matt700wlw]

Let's give them a Thumper...

[harangatang]

Let's give them a Thumper...Sounds good to me.

[reds44]

Just win baby

[guttle11]

FeLo's going yard today.

[gitrdunn44]

Best 9 hitters we can ask for I think. Let's win the series boys!

[RedFanAlways1966]

Game on FSN today? One of those added games? I hope the answer is yes! The Dayton Daily News says it is, but I learned long ago to not trust everything I read!

:)

[Joseph]

If only we could move to the AL.

Forget I said that.

[Matt700wlw]

:)

Yes

[RedFanAlways1966]

Yes

Thanks, Matt. So much for that yardwork and the Walkman. :beerme:

[oneupper]

Don't like the lineup much...I prefer when Dunn and Griff are back to back...be it 2/3 or 3/4 or even 4/5.
But this is AL Ball...not REAL baseball and Freel is in CF...so GO REDS!

[fisch11]

Off topic....

I'd love to see the Diamondback fall out of contention. That Brandon Webb is lights out.....I'd love to see them shop him and Wayne bring him in. I know I'm living in my own fantasy baseball world.

[oneupper]

REALLY. He's signed for 4 years. He ain't going Nowhere (sorry)>

[fisch11]

And here's to a complete game from Harangatang. :beerme:

[Reds Fanatic]

Freel flies out to left. 1 out.

[reds44]

Not bad...EE in the 7 spot is a little surprising.
He has been cold as of late.

[captainmorgan07]

freel flies out to left marty couldn't decide wat that bunt was

[PuffyPig]

Off topic....

If we fall out of contention, do you think we will shop the likes of Encarnacion, Harang and Coffey? No, those are the plyers we will build around. Same as Webb.

[reds44]

Freel flies out. 1 out.
That was only strike 2.

Freel flies out.

[fisch11]

If we fall out of contention, do you think we will shop the likes of Encarnacion, Harang and Coffey? No, those are the plyers we will build around. Same as Webb.

It's nice to dream though....ha.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lopez strikes out. 2 outs.

[reds44]

Lopez grounds out to the catcher. 2 outs.
lol you are stuggling


Felipe strikes out

2 down

[Reds Fanatic]

Junior strikes out swinging. 0-0 mid 1st.

[fisch11]

2 K's......could be a long day against this guy.

[fisch11]

Or a really quick one.

[Reds Fanatic]

Granderson hits a ground rule double to left.

[captainmorgan07]

not exactly a good start

[edabbs44]

Nice hustle Adam.

[Reds Fanatic]

Santiago sacrifices the runner to 3rd. 1 out.

[DoogMinAmo]

Nice hustle Adam.

Kept him to a double :D

[captainmorgan07]

harang needs to get out of this

[Reds Fanatic]

Guillen flies out to shallow center. 2 outs.

[captainmorgan07]

pick ur poison here ordonez is a good hitter and has been hot at the plate lately and we all know how shelton started

[Reds Fanatic]

Ordonez flies out to center. 0-0 after 1.

[captainmorgan07]

ordonez lines out to freel in center

[redsrule2500]

They have to win after yesterday's mess.

[fisch11]

Harang slams the door shut....strands the leadoff double.

[RedFanAlways1966]

Nice work, Harang.

How about a "Granderson shift"? Put Phillips out in LF semi-deep and close to the foul-line. As long as the ball stays in the park... ;)

[wheels]

I would like to thank Jim Leyland for his decision to sacrifice with a runner on second and none out.

Thank you.

That is all.

[Reds Fanatic]

Aurilia strikes out swinging. 3 K's for Robertson. 1 out.

[captainmorgan07]

this isn't looking good a strikeout pitcher against a strikeout lineup

[oneupper]

Rich swung at Ball 4 twice. Robertson's pitches are sinking well.

[Reds Fanatic]

Kearns strikes out looking on a pitch on the inside corner. 4 straight K's. 2 outs.

[captainmorgan07]

kearns strikes out

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn grounds out to 1st. 0-0 mid 2nd.

[fisch11]

Swing.

[captainmorgan07]

this could be a very quick game

[wheels]

They'll zero in.

Sometimes it takes a trip through the lineup to get a bead on a guy like that Detroit hurler.

[Reds Fanatic]

Young strikes out swinging. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Shelton singles to center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Monroe grounds out to short. Great play by Lopez. Runner goes to 2nd. 2 outs.

[DoogMinAmo]

What book is Hal reading?

[Matt700wlw]

Lopez makes a dandy......one day late :D

[captainmorgan07]

game of shadows

[Matt700wlw]

What book is Hal reading?

"Game of Shadows"

He says it's to Barry Bonds what the Dowd report was to Pete Rose.

[Reds Fanatic]

Inge flies out to Dunn on the warning track. 0-0 after 2.

[fisch11]

Thought that one had enough.

[captainmorgan07]

well since marty claims u can play 3 football games in the outifled u have to get all of it to knock it out of this park

[Reds Fanatic]

Encarnacion breaks his bat and grounds out to 3rd. 1 out.

[captainmorgan07]

ede grounds out to inge 1 out

[Reds Fanatic]

Larue grounds out to short. 2 outs.

[captainmorgan07]

can bp end the reds hitless streak

[fisch11]

Hits please.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips flies out to the warning track in center. 0-0 mid 3rd.

[captainmorgan07]

bp sure gave it a ride that'd be a homer in gabp

[wheels]

Phillips ripped into one, but it came up short, flies out to center.

I'm telling you, they're gonna tee off in short order.

This will not stand.

[captainmorgan07]

Phillips ripped into one, but it came up short, flies out to center.

lineup hits .284 after first time threw the order against robertson

[fisch11]

Phillips ripped into one, but it came up short, flies out to center.

I'm telling you, they're gonna tee off in short order.

This will not stand.

I hope you're right.

[M2]

Robertson cruised his first time through the lineup, but if this series is teaching us anything it's that actual good offense will show up fake good pitching.

[RedFanAlways1966]

Coming into today's game, in Sunday games...

* The REDS are 2-4.
* They average/game: 5.5 runs, 8.8 hits.
* The give up per game: 4.3 runs, 8.5 hits.
* The REDS have hit 10 HRs.
* REDS starters: 39IP, 3.69 ERA, 1.13 WHIP.
>> 4 quality starts.
* REDS Bullpen: 13IP, 6.23 ERA, 1.92 WHIP.
>> 1 save, 1 blown save.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wilson grounds out to short. 1 out.

[billy117]

i don't know why but i have the same feeling like you said that ball bp hit was a rocket

[captainmorgan07]

wilson grounds out to lopez

[wheels]

Here's a question....

If it takes a year for the big crowds to show up after a team starts playing good ball, how do we explain the crowds we're seeing in Detroit?

[Reds Fanatic]

Granderson grounds out to 2nd. 2 outs.

[captainmorgan07]

how the heck did weathers give up a homer to this man

[M2]

Here's a question....

If it takes a year for the big crowds to show up after a team starts playing good ball, how do we explain the crowds we're seeing in Detroit?

It's Rock City.

[wheels]

It's Rock City.

That would have been my guess.

[Reds Fanatic]

Santiago strikes out looking. 0-0 after 3.

[captainmorgan07]

harang strikes um out looking

[fisch11]

Harang's ERA back under 4.......3.98.

[Reds Fanatic]

Freel leads off with a walk.

[captainmorgan07]

freel walks

[fisch11]

Bye-bye perfect game.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lopez strikes out looking. 5 K's for Robertson. 1 out.

[captainmorgan07]

come on griff

[Reds Fanatic]

Junior hits a grouhd rule double to right. 2nd and 3rd with one out.

[captainmorgan07]

jr with a ground rule double freel to third

[fisch11]

Bye-bye no hitter. Thank you, Jr.

[Reds Fanatic]

Aurilia lines out to 3rd. 2 outs.

[fisch11]

Wow. Strike 2.5.

[captainmorgan07]

aurillalines out to inge

[Reds Fanatic]

Kearns walks on 4 pitches. Bases loaded for Dunn.

[fisch11]

Pitching around Kearns. Dunn is going to have to make it count.

[reds44]

Come on Adam

[NastyBoy]

Money pitch coming up next.

[fisch11]

Runners going.

[edabbs44]

Come on Adam...gotta make contact there.

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn strikes out swinging on a 3-2 pitch. 6 K's for Robertson. 0-0 mid 4th.

[captainmorgan07]

he stinks with runners in scoring position

[fisch11]

Yuck.

[fisch11]

Double and two walks = Nada.

[reds44]

It is now official

Adam Dunn isn't feared by many pitchers in this league, at least lefties. They just pitched around AK to get to Dunn, you think it would be the other way around.

Not bashing Dunn, just simply stating an observation.

[tbball10]

another clutch hit by dunn... o wait he has never got an important hit

[NastyBoy]

Pitches around Kearns to pitch to Dunn. Interesting.

[Reds Fanatic]

Guillen fouls out to 3rd. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ordonez grounds out to the pitcher. 2 outs.

[edabbs44]

It is now official

Adam Dunn isn't feared by many pitchers in this league, at least lefties. They just pitched around AK to get to Dunn, you think it would be the other way around.

Yep, this is a fact. You have to hit over .220 to be feared.

[NastyBoy]

That may have been the Reds best opportunity... Haran has been pitching pretty well. Should be a really tight game.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

the man simply never improves..one slow curve on the outside part of the plate time after time after time...he should be embarrased that they pitched around kearns to get to him...then we get a deluge of statfreaks who continually defend him(i'm talkin about with risp)..here's a stat he missed that by 3 feet thats 36 inches,the wind that he creates when he swings and misses is 100mph

[Reds Fanatic]

Young strikes out swinging. 3 K's for Harang. 0-0 after 4.

[captainmorgan07]

harang retired 8 in a row

[M2]

Robertston entered today with a .525 OPS against vs. LHBs and an .805 OPS against vs. RHBs. From 2003-2005 it was .631 against vs. LHBs and .810 vs. RHBs. That's why he walked Kearns to get to Dunn.

[fisch11]

Harang's got Meat Hook's number.

[westofyou]

Robertston entered today with a .525 OPS against vs. LHBs and an .805 OPS against vs. RHBs. From 2003-2005 it was .631 against vs. LHBs and .810 vs. RHBs. That's why he walked Kearns to get to Dunn.
Facts, facts, facts.. I've no time for facts....

[Reds Fanatic]

Encarnacion grounds out to short. 1 out.

[wheels]

Robertston entered today with a .525 OPS against vs. LHBs and an .805 OPS against vs. RHBs. From 2003-2005 it was .631 against vs. LHBs and .810 vs. RHBs. That's why he walked Kearns to get to Dunn.

And Dunn worked the count full after falling behind early in the count.

He got beat on a good 3-2 pitch. It was still a good at bat against a guy who makes a career out of victimizing lefties.

[Reds Fanatic]

Larue strikes out swinging. 7 K's for Robertson. 2 outs.

[reds44]

Robertston entered today with a .525 OPS against vs. LHBs and an .805 OPS against vs. RHBs. From 2003-2005 it was .631 against vs. LHBs and .810 vs. RHBs. That's why he walked Kearns to get to Dunn.
Ahh yes that would explain it.

thanks

[NastyBoy]

And no doubt Leyland has the same information... with more detail.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips walks on a 3-2 pitch.

[edabbs44]

This is starting to look like one of those games where a bloop hit or a bad hop wins it. Be the man, Ryan.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

i hope i'm wrong but i feel a solo shot from a tiger late in the game 1-0 detroit....if we haven't scored by the 5th its usually hard for the offense to get going

[Reds Fanatic]

Freel pops out to 2nd. 0-0 mid 5th.

[edabbs44]

Freel needs to start doing push-ups every time he hits the ball in the air.

[fisch11]

i hope i'm wrong but i feel a solo shot from a tiger late in the game 1-0 detroit....if we haven't scored by the 5th its usually hard for the offense to get going

Didn't we drop a 5 spot in the 7th last night?

[wheels]

The patience light has seemingly been turned on over the last inning or so.

The 5-6 innings can really make or break a pitcher. If they continue to work counts, Robertson will crack.

With Harang on the mound, I feel good about the Reds coming out on top.

[NastyBoy]

Looks like a 1-0 game in the making. First pitcher to make a mistake will lose... that is if you don't count the griffey double.

[edabbs44]

Agree 100%...I think it helps when your pitcher is throwing zeros.

[wheels]

The Ump's been pretty liberal on the outside corner.

That plays well towards Harang's strength.

[Reds Fanatic]

Shelton fouls out to right. 1 out.

[RedFanAlways1966]

Harang has made one other start on a Sunday this year before today...

Complete game, 5-hit, shutout @ Milwaukee on April 23. 11-0, REDS win.

[NastyBoy]

Robertson up to 78 pitchers... maybe we get to the bullpen in the 7th.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

i realize i'll get laughed off the site for this one but is there anyway dunn could learn to switchhit?? would that help any???

[wheels]

Ya know, Comerica looks downright pretty when there are fans in the seats.

I think it's good to see.

[NastyBoy]

Harang has made one other start on a Sunday this year before today...

Complete game, 5-hit, shutout @ Milwaukee on April 23. 11-0, REDS win.

That was his best game of the season IMO. Looking much the same today.

[wheels]

i realize i'll get laughed off the site for this one but is there anyway dunn could learn to switchhit?? would that help any???

Tom Lawless Fan brought that up awhile ago.

I thought it was a sound strategy.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

great catch by freel

[Reds Fanatic]

Monroe flies out to center. Good running catch by Freel. 2 outs.

[wheels]

Nice play by Freel on that fly ball.

He went a loooong way to get it.

[fisch11]

Nice catch by Freel......10 straight retired by Harang.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

yes george he holds on

[Reds Fanatic]

Inge flies out to Dunn on the warning track in left. 0-0 after 5.

[Matt700wlw]

Nice catch by Dunn....I don't get to type that very often.

[edabbs44]

The Adventures of Adam Dunn...

Just kidding, it's supposed to be very windy there today so nice play.

[NastyBoy]

Nice play by Dunn! That makes two for the game.

[captainmorgan07]

that almost was very ugly

[wheels]

Rumblin bumblin stumblin!

Dunn with a circus variety grab.:lol:

[fisch11]

Dunn comes in and wind almost drops it over his head......good recovery though. 11 straight sat down for Harangatang.

[guttle11]

That was a great ugly catch by Dunn. One thing is for sure, it's an adventure out there in LF for him.

[wheels]

This has been some kinda good series, hasn't it?

[RedFanAlways1966]

Dunn gives us a scare, but makes the catch near the wall.

Harang... pitching well. :thumbup:

[fisch11]

yes george he holds on

I'm so glad mlb.tv gave me the Detroit coverage today!

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

i think they should outlaw the beepbeep.com commercials

[wheels]

If Felipe gets on, things will get very interesting.

[DoogMinAmo]

This has been some kinda good series, hasn't it?

the Reds are a good team. A playoff-worthy team. I concur.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lopez leads off with a 4 pitch walk.

[NastyBoy]

that almost was very ugly

Just hold your breath and and close your eyes and picture WMP. ;)

[wheels]

....And he does.

Walks to lead off the inning.

Hold onto your hats, folks.

[fisch11]

Here's to the wheels falling off the wagon for Robertson in the 6th.

[captainmorgan07]

Just hold your breath and and close your eyes and picture WMP. ;)
i do he's made some ulgy ones in boston already

[wheels]

They need to battle this guy into submission.

Make every at bat a grind.

Griffey flies to center, Lopez advances.

[Reds Fanatic]

Junior flies out to center. Lopez tags and goes to 2nd. 1 out.

[fisch11]

Jr. sacs Lopez to 2nd......uncommon, but good job.

[NastyBoy]

i do he's made some ulgy ones in boston already

I know... they made the ESPN lowlight reel.

[Reds Fanatic]

Aurilia flies out to right. 2 outs.

[fisch11]

Aurillia not looking like a cleanup hitter today.

[NastyBoy]

Will kearns get anything to hit?

[Reds Fanatic]

Kearns flies out to center. 0-0 mid 6th.

Robertson has thrown 89 pitches through 6.

[DoogMinAmo]

If Dunn gets the chance, he redeems himself this inning.

[captainmorgan07]

kearns pops out to granderson

[fisch11]

Ugh.....frustrating game.

[NastyBoy]

The Tigers starting pitching has been impressive the last 2 nights. Same guys that a few years ago were the whipping boys of the AL.

[fisch11]

Harang - 59 pitches through 5.

[edabbs44]

Time for Cincy to start playing for 1 run. Need to see some sac bunts and situational hitting starting in the 7th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wilson strikes out looking. 4 K's for Harang. 1 out.

[RedFanAlways1966]

Austin Kearns...

Since going 4-for-4 on May 10 vs. Nationals, he has gone 4-for-33 (incl. 0-2 today), .121 BA. 10 games incl. today.

[wheels]

That Umpire's been calling that outside pitch the entire game for both teams.

At least he's consistant.

[Reds Fanatic]

Granderson grounds out to 1st. 2 outs.

[NastyBoy]

Time for Cincy to start playing for 1 run. Need to see some sac bunts and situational hitting starting in the 7th.

How bout solo shot by Dunn to start the 7th?

[Falls City Beer]

Austin Kearns...

Since going 4-for-4 on May 10 vs. Nationals, he has gone 4-for-33 (incl. 0-2 today), .121 BA. 10 games incl. today.

His stock's gone Delta--probably Worldcom by June 15.

[captainmorgan07]

aurilla with a nice play those grounders are tricky

[fisch11]

13 straight down and counting....

[wheels]

What a play by Reese....I mean Phillips!

[edabbs44]

How bout solo shot by Dunn to start the 7th?
That would be a great hit in that situation. :)

[NastyBoy]

Wow... nice play BP.

[Matt700wlw]

Wow...Nice play!

[captainmorgan07]

bp with a heck of a play

[Reds Fanatic]

Great play by Phillips as Santiago attempts a bunt hit and is thrown out. 0-0 after 6.

[fisch11]

Phillips getting dirty for the 14th straight.....

[fisch11]

Harang is doing more than his share, time to help him out boys. Let's get some runs!

[wheels]

I kinda like pitching duels when there is a DH.

Keeps both starters around longer, feeds the drama.

[NastyBoy]

Pitches-strikes - A Harang 68-48; N Robertson 89-50.

Time for Roberson to give it up?

[wheels]

Dunn leads off with a single.

They need to cash these leadoff baserunners in at some point.

[edabbs44]

Dunn with a laser single...bunt him over!

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn leads off with a single to right.

[captainmorgan07]

dunn with a single check his temperature:cool:

[DoogMinAmo]

The Tigers starting pitching has been impressive the last 2 nights. Same guys that a few years ago were the whipping boys of the AL.

They paid for it.

Ordonez, Pudge, Rogers in addition to home grown talent from high draft picks. They were the laughing stock, but they seem to be the real deal right now.

[fisch11]

Dunn singles.....here we go. Robertson hits the wall now.

[wheels]

I'm tellin' ya, Robertson's due to leave one up in the zone.

[edabbs44]

OK...I'll take the double off the wall. Nice situational hitting EdE!

[NastyBoy]

Nice job EE.

[wheels]

Told you.

This is the Big Inning.

[Reds Fanatic]

Encarnacion doubles off the wall in left center. 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

[captainmorgan07]

dobule for ee dunn held at 3rd

[fisch11]

I'm tellin' ya, Robertson's due to leave one up in the zone.

Touche.

[NastyBoy]

Dunn not running hard.... :bang:

[wheels]

This is why you don't fool around with bunts most of the time.

Instead of a runner at second and one out, they've got two in scoring position.

[Reds Fanatic]

Larue grounds out to 3rd. 1 out.

[edabbs44]

Told you.

This is the Big Inning.
Yeah, you were due after predicting a few...;)

[fisch11]

LaRue with a non-productive out.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

if they dont score here i'm going to cry

[edabbs44]

This is why you don't fool around with bunts most of the time.

Instead of a runner at second and one out, they've got two in scoring position.
Yeah, but since EE had been struggling a bunt wouldn't have been a bad choice.

[fisch11]

Put this ball in play BP.

[edabbs44]

Thank God we took Gruler over Kazmir.

[captainmorgan07]

bp has been smoking the ball lately a hit here would be big

[NastyBoy]

Fly ball fly ball fly ball....

[Matt700wlw]

That was pretty bad.

[edabbs44]

Come on....Harang should be suing the Reds for lack of support.

[NastyBoy]

Crap...

Dunn tried to plow him....no dice.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds into a 5-2 fielder's choice as Dunn runs and is out by a mile. 2 outs.

Phillips steals 2nd.

[captainmorgan07]

wat are we doing sending dunn not exactly the speedster

[NastyBoy]

That is the play that should have happened on the EE double.

[edabbs44]

wat are we doing sending dunn not exactly the speedster
Doesn't really matter since EE is on 3rd.

[RedFanAlways1966]

Geez... man on third, less than 2-outs and our guys hit it into the ground right to the 3rd baseman.

Almost feel for Dunn after having to watch Larue's grounder, but still no excuse to run.

Gotta keep the faith.

[CrackerJack]

ugh

[edabbs44]

Freel grounds out to Inge...absolutely horrific hitting.

[NastyBoy]

Dunn should have scored from first.

[captainmorgan07]

that is pathetic men on 2nd and 3rd 0 outs and we score none

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

this is simply rediculous

[top6]

that was pretty terrible.

[Matt700wlw]

Well, that sucked.

[Reds Fanatic]

Freel grounds out to 3rd. That is a huge missed scoring chance. 0-0 mid 7th.

[fisch11]

You have got to be kidding me. This batting average with RISP is killing this team.

[captainmorgan07]

Dunn should have scored from first.
exactly that chances are better of him scoring from first then on him scoring on a ground ball

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

somebody pass the kleenex

[edabbs44]

Houston up 1-0 in the 2nd.

St Louis 0-0 in the 2nd.

[wheels]

This one of them there head scratchers.

Good thing there's on good pitcher on our side today.

Keep grinding.

[saboforthird]

I never thought I'd live to see the day that the Reds would be underdogs against the Tigers. Past history notwithstanding.

[Cedric]

I thought Jerry Narron was all about the "little things"?

It's almost depressing the lack of baseball intelligence this team displays.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

3 straight grounders to 3rd???????????

[fisch11]

Stranded runners. Reds - 7, Tigers - 2

[CrackerJack]

Dunn should have scored from first.

Sooo...somehow it's always Dunn's fault?

With no outs you keep him at third I think, it would've been too close to chance in that situation. That would go for anyone else in that lineup other than maybe Freel or BP.

[fisch11]

15 straight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Guillen strikes out swinging. 5 K's for Harang.1 out.

[RedFanAlways1966]

exactly that chances are better of him scoring from first then on him scoring on a ground ball

And if he gets thrown out by 10-feet, we hear cries about the stupid baserunning of the team. 0 outs... you do not take a chance at home when you face 2nd & 3rd with 0 outs. As we all know now, might have been a chnace worth taking in hindsight. But the smart play on the Edwin double was to hold him.

Dunn was not lollygagging it either. He can be blamed for making a bad read on the ball while in flight, but he is not a burner and he is not paid to make super reads on flyballs. Blame the two men (LaRue & Phillips) for not getting the runner(s) in when they had a great opportunity.
