[cincy09]

need a long outing by Arroyo today. Bullpen was great last night, but could use the break.

[griffeyfreak4]

Cmon Bronson, Go Redlegs.

[goreds2]

There is only one manager that I knew of that had the guts to place almost ALL left-handed hitters in a lineup against Glavine. Ray Knight did it in 96 or 97 and we BEAT Glavine at HOME. (Glavine had a great record at Riverfront) He is one of the few LEFT-HANDED pitchers that is tougher on RIGHT HANDED Hitters. (I am glad Edwin is playing though :) )

Here is the report on Glavine:

"Particularly deadly against right-handed batters, his control frustrates hitters who know what to expect but rarely succeed in foiling the lethal left-hander. Glavine occasionally works in a sharp breaking curveball".

[Reds-aholic]

I am listening to WATH AM, and I dont hear the pre-game, our they no longer on the RRN?

[redsfanfalcon]

Lineups
7. R Clayton, SS .429 0 4 2


If Clayton is hitting .429, I am not sure why everyone is complaining about the trade. :eek:

I like his experience/

[redsfanfalcon]

I like his experience/

Or his scrappiness? :devil:

[Dunner44]

wow, only one left handed bat...

Is Griffey not playing because:

A: Day game after a night game
B: The slip he had last night
C: Stacking righties vs. TG
D: The Kid is slumpin bad, hitting into DPs

[flynn78]

It's early, but did you call?

I think I should be here with today's lineup.

[flynn78]

First pitch, first out. I like it!

Efficient 1-2-3 in the first for BronsO

[Danny Serafini]

I can take a shot at PBP, but I may miss a little since I'm here at work.

[cumberlandreds]

No TV today?

If you get MLBEI they have it. You just have to suffer through the Mets broadcasters.

[Gallen5862]

They're pretty good, but have to looking for relief help...

[dabvu2498]

Delgado K's on 3-2 pitch.

[Danny Serafini]

Delgado fouled off 3 straight 3-2 pitches before going down swinging. 1 out

[cumberlandreds]

[Tom Servo]

Single for EE

[Danny Serafini]

Dan Pugh

We've got a winner!

[indyred]

I still think Atlanta will make a nice run here at the Mets. The Mets need pitching and the pressure is just going to build on them as this season wears on in the big apple. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Atlanta sneak in as a wild card and make the Mets sweat some in September.....

[goreds2]

Single for EE

Have a great game EE.

[dabvu2498]

Dan Pugh stinks too.

[redsmetz]

Fun fact of the day, courtesy of Hal McCoy in today's interview with Marty. Anyone here know Dan Patrick's real name?

Daniel Patrick Pugh - accordig to Wikipedia.

He did the same thing my cousin did when he was on WKRQ in the 80's - Andy Craig, leaving off his last name.

[flynn78]

BP basehit, 1st and 2nd 1out

[Tom Servo]

Brandon looks to be coming out of his slump

[redsmetz]

Wiley Old Veterans? So says Marty - Bronson not even over 30 is he?

[Danny Serafini]

2 for 34 before that hit, ouch.

[flynn78]

Dan Pugh stinks too.

Who knew Dibble was the secret to that show? It has been bad after he left. Although I may be in the minority here but I like the Olbermann hour.

[redsmetz]

Wiley Old Veterans? So says Marty - Bronson not even over 30 is he?

Never mind, he meant Clayton

[Danny Serafini]

CLayton with a fly out right.

[dabvu2498]

Who knew Dibble was the secret to that show? It has been bad after he left. Although I may be in the minority here but I like the Olbermann hour.
Agreed... Olberman and Dan is required listening... so is any time Reggie Miller calls in... the rest is tripe.

[flynn78]

Never mind, he meant Clayton

Can we get a sign like a restaurant for in front of the ballpark that says "Home of the wily veteran".

[Danny Serafini]

Who knew Dibble was the secret to that show? It has been bad after he left. Although I may be in the minority here but I like the Olbermann hour.

The Olbermann hour really saves that show. That's the hour I look forward too. It's funny, Dibble had nothing of any real value to say, but without him the entertainment value of the show took a nosedive.

[indyred]

Why did Dibble leave the show?

Contract with ESPN not renewed. Moved to Fox's Best Damn Sports Show Period.

[Danny Serafini]

Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson make my head hurt. Stop screaming already! It's like they're having their personal shouting match over the radio.

[dabvu2498]

Why did Dibble leave the show?
To work on BDSS and XM Radio HomePlate.

[dabvu2498]

Dibble's great with Kevin kennedy in the PM on XM.

No MeatLoaf at the game today.

R. Castro grounds out to second to start us off in the 3rd

[Petitt33]

Ever listen to the Two Live Stu's??? They're on 1410 out of Dayton in the evenings... hillarious!

[flynn78]

Dibble's great with Kevin kennedy in the PM on XM.

I thought Dibs was good on Baseball Tonight. I think they messed up for TV and radio by letting him go. All of my friends used to listen to Dan and Dibs, now they are fleeing to Jim Rome.

[Danny Serafini]

Giving up hits to pitchers makes me sick inside. Glavine singles up the middle.

[flynn78]

Stupid blackout rules. Not for me.

[Danny Serafini]

I fled to XM.

If that hadn't been an option, I would prefer WGUC to Jim Rome. Classical music doesn't make me want to vomit.

Denorfia chases down a Reyes fly in right center, two out

Ah, good job by Valentin there, he completly blocked Freel from getting to the plate. Good throw from Castro too.

Deno grounds out, inning over.

[dabvu2498]

How many CS's now???

[toledodan]

caught stealing today, picked off last night anyone concerned about his stamina?

[Danny Serafini]

That's caught stealing #6. For someone who runs as much as he does that's not bad.

[Danny Serafini]

After 3:

NYM 1 2 0

[flynn78]

Not stamina I'm concerned about. It is his propensity for getting caught recently that has me worried.

[dabvu2498]

caught stealing today, picked off last night anyone concerned about his stamina?
He just sat how many games with the injury??? I'm more concerned with his decisions... would have been nice to have him on when Dunn came up.

[dabvu2498]

That's caught stealing #6. For someone who runs as much as he does that's not bad.
Seems like more than that... but getting picked off doesn't count as a CS.

[Danny Serafini]

Dunn catches up to a shallow Beltran fly, one away.

[ChaseReds]

Anyone watching the game? Can someone tell me how BA is looking? Is ontop of his stuff today or is he hanging any pitches????

[flynn78]

That's caught stealing #6. For someone who runs as much as he does that's not bad.

I think three have been pickoffs, but it is all the same in the stat column.

[dabvu2498]

I think three have been pickoffs, but it is all the same in the stat column.
Nope... pickoffs are not counted as CS... if runner attempts to return to bag, it's not a CS.

[flynn78]

Another HR Delgado 2-0 Mets

[ChaseReds]

BA gave up a homer- To right center

[Tom Servo]

How did Delgado get that pitch?

[flynn78]

Nope... pickoffs are not counted as CS... if runner attempts to return to bag, it's not a CS.

What is the judging point? I had always been told it was scored as a CS.

[redlegs2370]

BA's difficulty getting left handed hitters out is starting to concern me.

[dabvu2498]

Both on 1-2 counts... lovely.

[dabvu2498]

What is the judging point? I had always been told it was scored as a CS.
Only if runner has actually begun to steal.

Edit:

CAUGHT STEALING
(h) A runner shall be charged as “Caught Stealing” if he is put out, or would have been put out by errorless play when he (1) Tries to steal.
(2) Is picked off a base and tries to advance (any move toward the next base shall be considered an attempt to advance). (3) Overslides while stealing.
NOTE: In those instances where a pitched ball eludes the catcher and the runner is put out trying to advance, no caught stealing shall be charged. No caught stealing should be charged when a runner is awarded a base due to obstruction.

[ChaseReds]

Wright strikes out on a pitch low and away

[flynn78]

Only if runner has actually begun to steal.

Ah thanks you learn something new every day.

[Danny Serafini]

if runner attempts to return to bag, it's not a CS.

Actually it is. If his first step is towards second and then he dives back to first it's technically a caught stealing because he started towards second base. Don't know if that's what happened yesterday or not because I missed that game.

[ChaseReds]

Floyd Singled on a hard hit to dino

[Danny Serafini]

Floyd singled to right

[flynn78]

Actually it is. If his first step is towards second and then he dives back to first it's technically a caught stealing because he started towards second base. Don't know if that's what happened yesterday or not because I missed that game.

Just diving back would not be a CS then, right?

[dunner13]

Men on first and third, arroyo needs to get out of this inning right now.

[ChaseReds]

Jose Valentin singles on a sharp ground ball to right fielder Chris Denorfia. Cliff Floyd to 3rd.

[Danny Serafini]

Just diving back would not be a CS then, right?

Correct, that's a pickoff.

Amusing tidbit from the notes at reds.com:

A fan gained illegal entry into Narron's office in the home clubhouse following Wednesday's game. The fan quietly sat down in the manager's office and listened to the postgame press conference and remained after it ended before Narron asked what he was doing there. Security later escorted the unidentified man away without incident.

Arroyo's from Florida... not Mississippi.

RA, EE, BP due up

[Redlegs23]

The hit streak lives

[ChaseReds]

RA=career high hit streak.

[Danny Serafini]

That ties a career high for Rich, 13 straight.

[ChaseReds]

EE up on the count 2-0
RA on first

No outs

[ChaseReds]

EE takes ball 3, Glavine looks to be losing some control- all have been very low

[GOREDSGO32]

YES! Double!!

.. wait? HR?

[ChaseReds]

EE takes a strike then fouls 2 off

3-2 count

[GOREDSGO32]

Shoot, they call it a double.

[flynn78]

2nd and 3rd for Phillips

[ChaseReds]

Edwin Encarnacion hits a ground-rule double (20) on a line drive to left-center field, on fan interference. Rich Aurilia to 3rd.

[ChaseReds]

0-outs
2 on
BP up

[Danny Serafini]

Anyone got this on TV? Just curious if Aurilia could've scored had it not been ruled a ground rule double.

[Rotater Cuff]

game day says a fan interfered. Did that fan cost us a run?

[flynn78]

Marty just did the guy wearing a jacket on a hot day, nobody has frozen to death in Cincinnati today bit. Who had bottom of the 6th?

[dabvu2498]

game day says a fan interfered. Did that fan cost us a run?
Probably my wife.

[ChaseReds]

Brandon Phillips reaches on a fielder's choice out, second baseman Jose Valentin to catcher Ramon Castro. Rich Aurilia out at home. Edwin Encarnacion to 3rd.

[dunner13]

Surely phillips will steal second.

[ChaseReds]

Clayton up
1-out
Runners on 1st and 3rd

[ChaseReds]

Royce Clayton grounds out softly, pitcher Tom Glavine to first baseman Carlos Delgado. Brandon Phillips to 2nd.

[dunner13]

There walking Larue, so bases loaded with two outs pitcher up, do you pinch hit or let him bat???

[ChaseReds]

Does Not Look Good!!!

[flynn78]

Jerry keeping Arroyo in to hit after IBB to LaRue.

[Gandalf the Red]

Surely phillips will steal second.

Recent problems at the plate aside, Brandon requests that you not call him "Shirley."

[Danny Serafini]

LaRue is getting the free pass to make Arroyo bat.

[ChaseReds]

Let him bat

[dabvu2498]

There walking Larue, so bases loaded with two outs pitcher up, do you pinch hit or let him bat???
Let him hit.

[Redlegs23]

Marty not happy with Narron's decision to leave Arroyo in. Can't say I am either.

[dunner13]

nice gandalf, very nice

[flynn78]

Wow. Offensive Incompetence for $1000 please.

[ChaseReds]

(Clayton and Phillips really hurt us in this inning...cant produce a sacrifice)

[RBA]

Horrible Execution

[Jaycint]

There walking Larue, so bases loaded with two outs pitcher up, do you pinch hit or let him bat???

I let him hit, at worst you still have your best pitcher on the bump next inning in a tie game and the top of your lineup due up next inning. Best case scenario he has a flashback and hits a homerun.

[ChaseReds]

Bronson Arroyo ground bunts into a force out, pitcher Tom Glavine to catcher Ramon Castro. Edwin Encarnacion out at home.

[Gandalf the Red]

Marty not happy with Narron's decision to leave Arroyo in. Can't say I am either.


Well, our bullpen pretty much used up their weekly quota of scoreless innings last night...

[Rotater Cuff]

You got a lot of very expensive bullpen help, and Ken Griffey sitting around on the bench. And he lets Arroyo bat?

[Danny Serafini]

The squeeze play fails as the bunt is fielded and thrown home.

After 6

NYM 2 5 0
CIN 2 8 0

[dunner13]

With arroyo striking out the side I think you have to keep him in. He gives you the best chance of winning not at the plate, but on the mound.

[dabvu2498]

Not sure I like Arroyo's idea to BFH there... too many opportunities for fielders to make outs.

[flynn78]

Well, our bullpen pretty much used up their weekly quota of scoreless innings last night...

I agree. I keep Bronson in.

[goreds2]

Jerry keeping Arroyo in to hit after IBB to LaRue.

Now, I like the DH. ;)

[GOREDSGO32]

It shouldn't even have come to that, the runs should have been at least sacrificed in. This team is hair pullingly annoying. ALWAYS leaves runners on.

[Jaycint]

With arroyo striking out the side I think you have to keep him in. He gives you the best chance of winning not at the plate, but on the mound.

My thoughts exactly. Especially in a tie game. Had we been down a few maybe it's a different decision. I think Narron made the right call letting Bronson hit.

[dabvu2498]

Rich should be getting some time in the middle of this infield, not just the corners.

[cincy09]

Rich cost us the run that inning with bad base running. Arroyo still looks strong.

[Danny Serafini]

LaRue took a foul tip to the cup. Ouch.

[ChaseReds]

Pitch 1 - Foul
Pitch 2 - Ball
Pitch 3 - In play, out(s) recorded

Cliff Floyd grounds out to first baseman Rich Aurilia.

[Danny Serafini]

Floyd grounds out to first.

[OesterPoster]

I thought it was funny that Marty seemed disappointed when the fans didn't razz Narron's decision to let Arroyo hit.

[dabvu2498]

Fans should razz Marty for his hair.

[ChaseReds]

Jose Valentin flies out to center fielder Ryan Freel.

[cincy09]

10 in a row set down for Arroyo

[dabvu2498]

Arroyo's like butter... he's on a roll.

[Danny Serafini]

Arroyo with 96 pitches through 7 innings, not bad.
