Reds-7 Cardinals-0 FINAL. 1 game back

[reds44]

Freel and EE in, Kearns out.

Reds:
Freel RF
Lopez
Griffey
Dunn
EE
Hatteberg
BP
Ross
Milton

Cardinals:
Eckstein
Taguchi
Rolen
Encarnacion
Edmonds
Luna
Molina
Miles
Carpenter

I like our lineup!

[cincyinco]

WHY do you take Kearns out!?

[KronoRed]

WHY do you take Kearns out!?
We want the Cards to have a chance

[reds44]

Wow people complained Freel was out yesterday, now he is in and people complain.

[guttle11]

WHY do you take Kearns out!?

Just curious, but what are Kearns' numbers against Carpenter? That could explain why.

[membengal]

WHY do you take Kearns out!?

Gives him a breather against a nasty right-hander. If you are going to give him a game off, this isn't a terrible one to pick...

[VR]

Carpenter vs. Milton = no chance.

That said, the Reds have often done very well in games like this.

Milty can fall off at any time, but color me as optimistic about him as I've been in 13 months if he throws out a quality start tonight. His location and velocity have been much better all year, with 1.5 game exception. His era minus that blowup start is well under three. I'm optimistic, but realize he's a bottle of nitro out there at all times.


By the way, Jason LaRue? Let's hope a trade is announced soon.

[OldXOhio]

WHY do you take Kearns out!?

Freel's had better success against Carpenter than Kearns. Dunn hasn't done much against the guy either, but he hits from the left side.

[Falls City Beer]

I want Freel in before Kearns when facing Carpenter.

[reds44]

I don't get why you sit EE yesterday, but you play him today.

Seems to me you would want a "vet" like Rich in against a guy liek Carpenter. EE would have hammered aroudn Suppan yesterday. I'm not complaining that EE is in today (he should always play over RA) but if you were going to sit him in this series today would have been today.

[cincyinco]

Okay, makes sense.. but you're talking about a 6ab sample size, are you not? in regards to kearns vs. carpenter.

[reds44]

We will need to manufacture runs tonight, Freel brings speed that Kearns doesn't.

[VR]

I think you'd prefer Donnie Sadler over Kearns wouldn't you? ;)

[pedro]

Carpenter pretty much owns the Reds. Dunn is 2 for 17 against him. I hope he reverses that tonight.

[Falls City Beer]

I think you'd prefer Donnie Sadler over Kearns wouldn't you? ;)

Nah. Kearns is a junkball mistake-pitch hitter (Carpenter doesn't throw many of these); and Freel can turn high choppers into basehits.

Using Freel optimizes the lineup IMO. Realistically, though, both Kearns and Freel should be in the lineup every day no matter what.

[cincyinco]

We will need to manufacture runs tonight, Freel brings speed that Kearns doesn't.

And Kearns brings power that Freel doesn't :P

Maybe its just me but I play the hot hand.. ;)

[Falls City Beer]

Maybe its just me but I play the hot hand.. ;)

Freel's been insanely hot.

[cincyinco]

Freel's been insanely hot.

Well allright then..

I have to admit, haven't been able to catch many reds games lately due to a crappy wireless connection... so while I've seen the end results.. I haven't seen the means..

I read the game thread last night after the game b/c I didn't get to watch it and I have to say I chuckled at the roller coaster ride many posters took last night, including FCB.

I'd like to see Dunn go 17-2 tonight.

[wheels]

I have a hunch the boys will rake Carpenter tonight.

If Milton can hold 'em to less than five runs, they'll win handily.

My thinking is that it's always best to catch a good pitcher on his first start back from an injury. They'll be keeping a close eye on him, and he won't likely pitch deep into the game, thus exposing a tired Cards pen.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Same for me. It's entertaining to sometimes start with the thread rather than the box score -- even more fun if you don't know who actually won (hard to do with the scores updated in the thread title now)

This quote makes me wonder if Carpenter is coming back from the DL before hes 100%:

After throwing a bullpen session last week, he said he was ready to go.

"I threw everything, all of my pitches," Carpenter said. "It was longer, and I definitely felt good. As long as tomorrow there's nothing affecting me, no soreness, nothing like that, I'll be fine."

How about having your toe nails pulled?

Seriously, yes Carpenter is better than Milton, but not as much as you think so far this year. Especially his first game back from an injury. This isn't the 2005 version of either Milton or Carpenter.

And in the fact that our lineup is much, much better than what they are trotting out, and this is not an unwinnable game by any means.

Double puts runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.

Dunn has been really bad lately. Not just on defense either.

It ain't gonna help.

But tonight's starting pitcher for the Reds is gonna be the real roadblock.

That error in the first inning last night did not come back to haunt us, let's hope this one does not either.

JE has to drive the Cards crazy. Gets himself out on a pitcher pitch on the first pitch

2-0!

Phillips doubles in Hatteberg, who also doubled. 2-0 Reds.

Ross RBI single! 3-0 Reds.

The only put this inning was on a great catch by Rolen to rob EE of a hit.

Carpenter not fooling anybody. Good for us!

Ross.......again!

Carpenter not sharp with his command. Not really surprising with a 2 week layoff

Yowza. That was quick.

He has 1 RBI since May 18th.

He also bats behind Griffey and Aurilia - two guys with poor on base percentage's.

Phillips 2B was impressive (for me). He waited on a curveball as if he knew it was coming.

It would be 4-0 if Rolen didnt rob Encarnacion of a hit.

can't be; he only makes the routine/easy catch.

4 consecutive pop flys from Milton

[Nugget]

It's Junior's fault that Dunn is going through a slump. You could say that Junior has been robbing Dunn of his RBI opportunities.

[OnBaseMachine]

Good inning for Milton.

[Falls City Beer]

Aaron Miles sucks. But, man, the indignity of hitting behind Molina. Ouch.

It baffles me how guys that play baseball for a living can't do one of the most fundamental things in their profession. I don't expect them to lay down the bunt everytime, no one does, but 7 out of 10 from a professional should be expected.

[reds44]

Dunn needs to move down in the order. You can't have your cleanup hitter not driving in runs. Once he starts hitting, then you can move him up. Have Kearns or EE bat 4th for awhile.

[reds44]

After looking at the replay, he rounded 2nd, and attempted to turn all the way around to find the ball instead of looking at his 3rd base coach.

Its either a cramp in his calf (hopefully)

After looking at the replay, he rounded 2nd, and attempted to turn all the way around to find the ball instead of looking at his 3rd base coach.

It looked more like Mark Berry made an "error". He signaled Jr to go and then stopped him abruptly... in the meantime, EE was only about 10 feet from third base. He twisted an ankle or pulled something when he turned around to go back to second.

[Cedric]

Good pitch from Milton. You just can't walk Molina. Even if George acts like he is Gary Carter Jr.

[Big Klu]

Freel to 3rd I'd hope if EE is out awhile.

If Encarnacion is out for a while, I would look for a combination of Aurilia and Freel at 3B.

Against RHP, either Aurilia or Freel at 3B, depending on the matchup.
Against LHP, Freel at 3B with Aurilia at 1B.

Now Jr night have been out at home though (but that is beside the point). ;)

But that was all Berry IMO.

[KronoRed]

[Matt700wlw]

I figure he will miss tomorrow and maybe the weekend series against the Cubs (though he might be ready by Saturday or Sunday).

[reds44]

Did Junior just walk twice, in the same game?

[Matt700wlw]

That Dunn HR would have been meaningful if the Reds were down by 1

:p: :mooner: :D

[George Foster]

Did we score off of Hancock last night also?

[reds44]

BP, Ross, and Arroyo.

Where would we be without them?

Look at what Wayne has done in such a short time.

[George Foster]

:p: :mooner: :D

With this bull pin....it's meaningful!

[Puffy]

Did we score off of Hancock last night also?

Yes, they did.

And here's a clue why - - cause Hancock throws slop and just because he's had a good couple months does not change that.

[GAC]

[George Foster]

Yes, they did.

Puffy talkin' SMACK:D

[harangatang]

With this bull pin....it's meaningful!Hey at least won't see White tonight unless Milton decides to give up a couple of runs.

[Tony Cloninger]

Dunn is like the recent stock market mess..... just when you think he is bottoming out and could not go any lower.... he pops up for a game or 2 and gives you something to feel good about.

On a side note....thanks Bernake for panicking the hell out of everyone in the stock market and making my 401K go down faster than that, aformentioned, intern.

[reds44]

I love this Cardinal broadcast. They are acting like we are about to win the World Series. Going around with a camera shot of all our players.

My feelings was hurt that no one committed on that enlighten post of mine..thank you from the bottom of my heart.:)

[RedsMan3203]

Milton at 96 pitches.

5 hits, 0 r/ER, 0 BB, 3 K's.

[Big Klu]

"The Cardinal Way", George? For crying out loud.... :bang: :bang: :bang:

[RedsMan3203]

Okay - Milton due up 1st.

Do we see a PH for him? Probably not.... He'll be in there in the bottom half of the 7th.
