wheres ee

You beat me to it. (It's a day game after a night game.....;) )

[cincy09]

must be our right handed power bat off the bench?

[jnwohio]

wheres ee


Sure starting to look like EE is being platooned with Hatteburg with Aurilia shuttled between 1st and 3rd depending on whether EE or Hatte is starting.

I suppose Narron would see this as putting his best defense on the field but the last I knew the only defense against home runs was to score more runs than the other team which I would think should apply With Milton starting. So I guess maybe Narron also thinks this combo will score more runs against the Brewers starter than if EE were in the lineup.

[MaineRed]

The Reds are 7-2 since the break. Whatever is starting to happen, is working.

[Rocket_Fuel]

We have a chance to bury a couple of Wild Card contenders (Brewers, Astros) over the next week, so it really starts today! Especially if the Reds win and the Astros lose!

[ThornWithin81]

We have a chance to bury a couple of Wild Card contenders (Brewers, Astros) over the next week, so it really starts today! Especially if the Reds win and the Astros lose!

I don't know if its too early to do so, but I already consider the Brewers buried in the Wildcard race. It's just too competitive, and I don't see them posting a better record than us between now and season's end.

[DannyB]

Aurilia at 3rd batting 4th
Valentin catching
Castro at SS
I`m going fishing

[flynn78]

Milton not making me confident early 2 on with one out, but gets Lee to pop out for the second out. Fielder up

[flynn78]

Freel throws out Brady Clark at the plate! Milton saved after Fielder hit. On to the bottom of the 1st.

[cincy09]

Nice play by Freel to throw out Clark at the plate
0-0 mid 1

[Gandalf the Red]

Meanwhile...

Kearns doubles in his first at-bat today. Nice to see Austin getting back on track.

[flynn78]

Kearns doubles in his first at-bat today. Nice to see Austin getting back on track.

I saw he homered last night. Good for him.

[cincy09]

Reds go down 1-2-3
0-0 after 1

[flynn78]

Nothing of consequence for the Reds in the first, Lee did rob Dunn of extra bases. On to the 2nd. Keep us in the game Eric.

[flynn78]

Hal McCoy and Marty in the booth now. Let the bashing begin. Hart singles to center.

[flynn78]

Another hit followed by a easy double play ball botched by Phillips. Still gets one.

[flynn78]

Milton K's Ohka

[flynn78]

I guess Clayton and Majewski were pranked by the team and thought they were leaving right after the game. They came in their travel clothes with bags packed to the park today.

[TDHND]

Yeah I just heard that mentioned on the radio.

[flynn78]

Walk to Weeks. Uncle Milty with a slow start.

[flynn78]

Brady Clark drives in two with a single to LF. Milton should be ashamed of himself.

[Redlegs23]

Hal McCoy and Marty in the booth now. Let the bashing begin. Hart singles to center.

Marty and Hal take a shot at Bowden for not thinking that Brady Clark was any good. They never miss a chance to get a shot at Bowden.

[flynn78]

K to end the inning, but the damage is done. 2-0 Brew Crew

[flynn78]

Marty and Hal take a shot at Bowden for not thinking that Brady Clark was any good. They never miss a chance to get a shot at Bowden.

Marty hates Bowden. His bashing of Bowden has become very juvenile. I am a huge Marty fan, but the man that always pompously flouts his Hall of Fame status should be above that.

[flynn78]

How does Milton sleep at night on that bed filled with Uncle Carl's money?

[flynn78]

Our bullpen is getting run ragged in this series. We need Milton to step up now.

[flynn78]

I enjoy talking to myself, but jump in an time now guys.

[cincy09]

2-0 after 2

[fisch11]

Milton looks pretty good today. Defense could have helped him out in the 2nd.

Fair enough cincy09, I have been in the same situation. If they are not going to come down from the mountain to hook into our gamethreads then we have to do it ourselves. Milton is doing some stepping up. We need the offense to do the same.

[jimbo]

People on here bash Reds players, coaches, managers, etc. all of the time. What's the difference? I tend to agree with him. It has nothing to do with his "Hall of Fame status."

[GOREDSGO32]

Freel gets the first hit of the day.

[flynn78]

Milton looks pretty good today. Defense could have helped him out in the 2nd.

True, but sometimes you have to make your own breaks. Phillips did not help, but pitching from behind did not either.

Freel is looking to swipe 3rd.

[TeamBoone]

Do you think it bothers the batter when a runner steels deep in the count? Especially a full count?

Just curious.

[fisch11]

Do you think it bothers the batter when a runner steels deep in the count? Especially a full count?

Just curious.

Some power hitters don't like it I've heard. But my view is that if you are focused on the pitch, then you don't see the runner.

jimbo, I agree. People here bash, but Bowden is gone. When Marty has to discuss him I agree he has the green light to editorialize, but Marty goes out of his way to keep a petty feud going by inventing ways to get at him. Marty is great but can get a little sanctimonious. That is why I put in the Hall of Fame comment. He used it(Hall of Fame) the other night when fans were e-mailing about him feeling sorry for himself for possibly having to do a double header if the games were called. Kind of a don't you know who I am moment. He just mentioned that he went too far last night on the broadcast. I love Marty, Joe, and I'm getting to love Steve. Just feel like they are above these petty feuds.

[GOREDSGO32]

Fly out deep by RA ... jeez we need this win to keep pace.

[Gallen5862]

Team Boone I remember Joe Morgan said he would give and get some type of look from Johnny Bench to let each other know when he was stealing. I guess it depends on individuals.

There was a dustup about Marty's support for the games going on this past week rather than being cancelled and not wanting to call doubleheaders. Marty got slapped by fans for coming of a bit arrogant and then responded last night with more arrogance. Marty has always been arrogant. I think it part of what what makes him great, but he crossed over the line a little the past couple days.

milty is done for the day

[redssouth]

I doubt Ohka goes much over 90-95 pitches.. this is only his second start i believe off of an injury. I would be really shocked if he hit the 100 pitch mark. Dan Kolb... mmmm.... meat....ned yost has to wonder what he did to deserve that.

[jesusfan]

C'mon Magic!

[Sean_CaseyRules]

Pitcher Change: Gary Majewski replaces Eric Milton, batting 9th.

[flynn78]

we have 9 outs to get 4 runs, you guys wait and watch, we will comeback!

[fisch11]

3 innings to score 4 runs....no biggie.

[flynn78]

You have got to be kidding me. Majewski is getting hit like a pinata since he came in. Makes me a bit upset we couldn't pull better out of FeLo and Austin.

[flynn78]

3 innings to score 4 runs....no biggie.

I agree, but what is up with Majewski?

[Gandalf the Red]

On the plus side, I was listening to Majewski's pitching performance and suddenly remembered the chore I forgot to do yesterday--cleaning the toilet bowl.

So, thanks, Majik.

I feel sorry for him. He is yacking all over himself with the pressure of being part of that trade. I just hope he gets over it now. He has a nice live arm. As RA hits into a Casey.

dang it

[jimbo]

I agree, but what is up with Majewski?

He's stunk since he's come here, but he's only been here what? A week and a half? A lot of it may just be nerves. Kearns and Lopez have both been pretty medicocre since they've arrived at Washington. Sometimes, it takes a player a little while to get comfortable, especially a young player. I'm sure Majewski is pressing a little because he wants to show his new team that he is worth what they gave up. I'm not too worried about him, his numbers show that he will get the job done.

To be fair, Narron shouldn't have let Milton pitch to Hall. Probably wouldn't have made a difference, but the situation would have been a little less pressure-packed for Majewski.

Wish Narron would let Majewski work in a few non-pressure (or lower pressure) situations to try to get his confidence back.
