[jesusfan]

Well... No Ross again... I really want to see him play as much as possible, not 1 or 2 times per week... oh well... GO REDS!! AND GO EDWIN!

[fisch11]

I was kinda hoping Deno would play tonight to give Freel a rest after last night's game. Freel has been swinging good lately though. I'm sure he'll rest a game in this series though. Oh, and I'll be first to say.....EE's BACK!

[ChaseReds]

Tomo Ohka pitched a gem on July 23rd against the Reds:

8.0 IP
3 Hits
1 Run
7 K's

Lets hope the reds can get him early before he starts to settle in.

[fisch11]

By the way, has anybody gotten word on if the Brewers new guys are going to be in for tonight's game?

[jesusfan]

Wow... Look at that Murderer's row Brewers line-up...lol Without Weeks (Day to day) and Lee (Traded) Milton should (should) be able to pitch effectively tonight...

[Blue]

A win today and we're 3.5 back in the Central!

of course, we have no chance tonight, because a very bad man is in the lineup...

no, not Bill Hall. TONY GRAFFANINO!

[Matt700wlw]

Wow... Look at that Murderer's row Brewers line-up...lol Without Weeks (Day to day) and Lee (Traded) Milton should (should) be able to pitch effectively tonight...

Somewhere, FCB is laughing. ;)

[Tom Servo]

LaRue starting so as to increase his trade value? :dunno:

[TeamBoone]

Will Lee be playing with the Rangers tonight? I have him in my fantasy lineup.

[jesusfan]

I dont know... but that Rangers line-up is a fantasy line-up... WOW

[GriffeyFan]

The new players for each team will not be playing tonight. They might report (which is highly doubtful) but wouldn't play until at least tomorrow. I'm sure they have a bunch of things to take care of in the next 24 hours.

[jmac]

is it just me,or does it seem like this is the reds 45th game of the season vs the brew crew ?

[TeamBoone]

is it just me,or does it seem like this is the reds 45th game of the season vs the brew crew ?

No, it's not just you... I swear they play them more often than anyone else in the NL Central.

[GOREDSGO32]

Milton pitching - loss.

[Gallen5862]

This is from the Brewers website Team Boone.
Mench and Francisco Cordero were expected at Miller Park on Friday night, when the team began a key three-game series against the Reds. Nix will head to Triple-A Nashville, and Julian Cordero is headed to Class A West Virginia.

[Gallen5862]

So it might be possible for Lee to play for the Rangers tonight. I noticed he is on the Rangers 25 man roster already.

[jesusfan]

Nice Interview with Dunn! Did you hear him say that at the end about Ohka... Welsh was talking about how well he pitched last time out... Dunn replied... "It will be different tonight." I hope he's right! Go reds!

[jesusfan]

Hall robs Freel of a single... 1 down

[jesusfan]

Dunn pops to Fielder... 2 down...

[Gallen5862]

Great job with the pbp Jesusfan.

[jesusfan]

Griffey takes the 2 out walk... Eddie steps in... C'mon EE!

[jesusfan]

EE takes strike 3 on the out-side corner... Clark, Graffanino, Cirillo coming up....

[KYRed]

No, it's not just you... I swear they play them more often than anyone else in the NL Central.

It's not just everyone's imagination. Here's how many times we play division opponents this season:

Brewers: 19
Cubs: 19
Pirates: 16
Cardinals: 15
Astros: 15

[GOREDSGO32]

EE proves once again why he shouldn't be in the majors.

[howyoufreelin]

that was a BS call on Edwin there. Edwin usually is mild mannered, but he did not like that call at all.

[jesusfan]

Clark lines a single through the middle... Graffanino up

[GOREDSGO32]

Jking about EE ... but seriously, Milton sucks bad.

[jesusfan]

Milton's heater is about 83 MPH tonight... something's wrong.... Graffanino with a 2B off the wall...

[howyoufreelin]

Graffinino double, runners on second and third no out.

sigh...Why do we always struggle in Milwaukee?

[howyoufreelin]

2-0 Brew Crew

[GOREDSGO32]

2 runs in already. Knew this game was mailed in before it started.

[jesusfan]

Cirillo rips a 2B down the line... 2 runs in... 2-0 MIL

[jesusfan]

Milton has to be replaced....

[jesusfan]

milton with a hanger and Hall just gets under it... deep flyout to Freel 1 down... Cirillo to 3rd...

[howyoufreelin]

This team is in desperate need of another middle of the rotation type of start. Milton and Mays/Claussen/whoever just won't get it done. They are almost guaranteed losses.

[jesusfan]

Fielder with a single... 3-0 Mil...

[KoryMac5]

Darn 3-0 already

[jesusfan]

Milton has nothing tonight... absolutely nothing!

[Redlegs23]

This is painful to watch

[KYRed]

4 very solid hits and a really deep flyout. This is gonna be a long night barring changes from EM.

[GOREDSGO32]

If we DFA Milton, are we on the hook for the option year?

[jesusfan]

EE makes the play on the slow roller... 2 down, Fielder at 2nd...

[jesusfan]

Milton nips Jenkins on the shirt.... 1st and 3rd... 2 down

[fisch11]

Jenkins can't hit lefties and Milton hits him.

[jesusfan]

Milton K's Miller... 3-0 Brew Crew... going to the 2nd

[Redlegs23]

Struck him out on a nasty overpowering 84 mph fastball!

[fisch11]

Well, hopefully Dunn was right and we can nip Ohka this time around.

[jesusfan]

Struck him out on a nasty overpowering 84 mph fastball!

Yeah... I noticed that too... he's defintely hurt... 84 freaking MPH, I was clocked at 83-85, get me out there.. lol

[Redsfanao]

you have to wonder if something is wrong with Milton's arm. Based on the FSN gun, he topped out at 84 on his fastballs in the first inning. I remember hearing that scouts clocked him at 94 during spring training.

[KoryMac5]

Well wishful thinking here. Lets hope Milton can settle down like he did last time he faced the Brew crew.

[KoryMac5]

Brew crew announcers trying to make the Lee trade sound good.

[jesusfan]

I HEART HATTE.... single up the middle... He's the man right now...

[KoryMac5]

Hat continue to hit

[jesusfan]

BP with a Beautiful bunt single.... 1st and 2nd, Clayton up

[KoryMac5]

2 on it's our turn now

[fisch11]

Beauty of a bunt from BP.

[jesusfan]

4 pitch walk for Clayton... C'mon LaRue, shoot up your trade value!!

[KoryMac5]

Bases loaded

[KoryMac5]

I would love to get two runs here

[jesusfan]

LaRue swings at a terrible 1-0 pitch

[jesusfan]

LaRue pops the ball up!!!

[KoryMac5]

Larue foul pop up 1 out

[jesusfan]

Milton with a SAC. Fly, 3-1 MIL... Note to LaRue... Take notes!

[KoryMac5]

Milton does what Larue couldn't do embarrassing!

[KoryMac5]

Need a big hit here Ryan

[fisch11]

Somebody has to say it.....Milton "helps his own cause."

[KoryMac5]

Terrible strike zone tonight

[fisch11]

Watching the FSN North coverage on mlb.tv. I'm ALREADY sick of hearing about the Carlos Lee trade. It's like there isn't even a game going on.

[jesusfan]

HORRIBLE strike 3 call!!!! 3-1 MIL

[KoryMac5]

Runge has no clue

[howyoufreelin]

I'll put money on it that Freel is ejected when we come back from the commercial break.

[Petitt33]

Wow, that wasn't even close.

[keeganbrick]

This is the worst strikezone I have see all year. Everything at the ankles and outside is a strike.

[fisch11]

That ball was outside. Freel is probably still complaining about it. And I thought it couldn't get any worse coming off of CB Bucknor.

[jesusfan]

Well bases jacked.... no outs... 1 run out of it...

[howyoufreelin]

Well, at least he didn't get ejected.

[fisch11]

Bases loaded. Dunn up.....oh, wait nevermind.

[jesusfan]

Ohka drills one to Freel... he hit that ball hard... 1 down

[Redlegs23]

Bases should've been loaded for Dunner. Terrible strike call.

[jesusfan]

Clark flies to Dunner... 2 down...

[Redlegs23]

Pittsburgh just took a 1-0 lead on San Fran. Go Rats.

[Petitt33]

Narron gets the boot

[keeganbrick]

Rip his ass Narron.:angry:

[jesusfan]

Narron's gone! lol get em pumped up Narron! that Ump is a jerk!

[KoryMac5]

Narron needs to let him know about this terrible strike zone

[keeganbrick]

OMG how did he jus call that last strike a ball.

[KoryMac5]

Umpires these days have such a chip on their shoulder

[Redlegs23]

After watching the replay, that ball was in the same exact location as the pitch that Freel got rung up on.

[jesusfan]

Graff. Flies to Dunn.. 1-2-3 inning for Milton... I'd kick that umps hind-parts... putting his finger in Narron's chest like that... Why can't coaches do that to the umps???

[MississippiRed]

It's hard to believe MLB has umpires that can't do a better job with the strike zone than the two we have had the past two nights.

[keeganbrick]

I hope we dont have to deal with **** all night or else im gonna need a :drink:

[jesusfan]

Dunn with another pop-up... 1 down

[Redlegs23]

I hope we dont have to deal with **** all night or else im gonna need a :drink:

I actually just grabbed one from the fridge after watching that garbage. It helps, it really helps.

[jesusfan]

Pirates up 2-0 on the Giants on Casey's bases loaded walk...

[jesusfan]

Griff rips a single off Cirillo's glove into Center... 1 down... c'mon EDDIE!

[EKURed]

I'm not counting on getting any breaks tonight. Runge absolutely punked up and challenged Narron to come out. I believe one could say that he absolutely baited Narron into getting tossed.

[KoryMac5]

I've been drinking since before the game in anticipation of Milton's start.

[KoryMac5]

Edwin needs to let it rip off Ohka

[Redlegs23]

Pirates up 2-0 on the Giants on Casey's bases loaded walk...

And Arizona now has a two run lead on Houston also.

[jesusfan]

EE K's, 2 down... he looked overpowered...Hatte up

[fisch11]

Overpowered.....84mph?

[KoryMac5]

EE down on strikes I blame that on inactivity

[KoryMac5]

Do the job Hatte

[jesusfan]

Overpowered.....84mph?

That's what I was thinking.... Hatte K's on another questionable pitch! wow

[Redlegs23]

Wow, this is frustrating watching these strike calls. Unbelievable.

[KYRed]

This ump must have two glass eyes.

[jesusfan]

We really need Milton to go out there and throw some zero's for the next couple of innings atleast... we'll get to Ohka!

[fisch11]

It's going to be a loooooong night. I guess I can always look forward to Turnbow appearing later!

[fisch11]

Ryan Freel, "Hey, ump!? Does your wife know you're screwin' us?!"

[jesusfan]

Cirillo pops to hatte... 1 down

[EKURed]

Don't take this as giving up by any means, but it's going to be UGLY tonight. I've never seen an umpire this bad. Not even C.B. Buckner is this bad.

[howyoufreelin]

Ryan Freel, "Hey, ump!? Does your wife know you're screwin' us?!"

:laugh:

[fisch11]

Don't take this as giving up by any means, but it's going to be UGLY tonight. I've never seen an umpire this bad. Not even C.B. Buckner is this bad.

Hopefully in the back of his mind there is a makeup call for us....when we need it later.

[jesusfan]

Milton walks Hall... 1 down... Fielder up

[howyoufreelin]

Is it me, or is Eric Milton's fastball only hitting 83 MPH tonight? He is going to get crushed..

[keeganbrick]

Don't take this as giving up by any means, but it's going to be UGLY tonight. I've never seen an umpire this bad. Not even C.B. Buckner is this bad.
Yea, I thought after CB it didnt get any worse.

[jesusfan]

sometimes it's hitting 84... lol

[EKURed]

Hopefully in the back of his mind there is a makeup call for us....when we need it later.

Judging by his pompous appearance of arrogance, I would regretfully say probably not.

Maybe one of the other umpires will realize how ridiculous his zone has been and cut the Reds a break.

[jesusfan]

Milton on another 3-2 pitch walks Fielder... THROW STRIKES!

[Redlegs23]

Milton really making them earn it with two straight walks. I'm afraid to watch what's coming.

[fisch11]

Walks will haunt.

[jesusfan]

Hart flies to JR. 2 down... C'mon Milton get out of this jam!

[jesusfan]

Jenkins flies to Jr. onto the 4th... 3-1 Brew Crew... Milton still looks horrible out there

[fisch11]

Pheww. Gotta keep this thing close, nice rebound Milton.

[Redlegs23]

Jenkins flies to Jr. onto the 4th... 3-1 Brew Crew... Milton still looks horrible out there

I agree, I hope this isn't true, but I'm just waiting for him to blow up one of these innings.

[jesusfan]

Pitt-3 SF-0 runner on 3rd no outs... Bucos helping us out a little...

[fisch11]

BP, Clayton, Frenchie due up.

[jesusfan]

Phillips with yet another bunt single... Fielder bobbles the ball...

[jesusfan]

C'mon Clayton... step up here!

[fisch11]

BP is trying to put on a bunting clinic tonight I guess.

[jesusfan]

Clayton rips one to Center... 1 down... LaSpew up....

[jesusfan]

3-2 count to LaRue... Phillips running more than likely

[jesusfan]

LaRue walks... 1st and 2nd... MIlton up...1 down... C'mon Milty!!!

[jesusfan]

Ohka up to 63 pitches...

[jesusfan]

C'mon Milton!!! Do your job!!

Nats acquire hurler Martis from Giants
07/28/2006 6:44 PM ET
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com

LOS ANGELES -- Left fielder Alfonso Soriano is still with the Nationals, but left-hander Mike Stanton is not after he was traded to the Giants for right-hander Shairon Martis on Friday evening.
It's the second trade made by general manager Jim Bowden before the deadline. It's also the second time Bowden has traded Stanton in less than a year. On Sept. 29, Stanton was traded to the Red Sox for Minor League pitchers Rhys Taylor and Yader Peralta. Stanton signed a free-agent contract with the Nationals on Christmas Eve.

Stanton played in 56 games this season and went 3-5 with a 4.47 ERA. He was the only reliever not involved in the bullpen shenanigans that cost bullpen coach John Wetteland his job. When the relievers were shooting firecrackers or breaking bobble head dolls, Stanton was in the dugout watching the game.

Martis, 19, was 6-4 with a 3.64 ERA in 15 starts for Class A Augusta. Martis allowed two runs or fewer in five of his final seven starts with Augusta, including a trio of start in which he worked at least five innings and did not allow a run.

On March 10, Martis fired the first no-hitter in World Baseball Classic history, leading the Netherlands to a 10-0 mercy-rule-shortened contest against Panama.




complete coverage >Martis has averaged 8.9 strikeouts per nine innings during his nearly three-year career, during which he is 12-8 with a 2.59 ERA in 40 career games (32 starts).


This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

[fisch11]

Blue gave us a close one there. Could have run up LaRue on that payoff pitch.

[jesusfan]

SAC. Bunt for Milton.. C'mon Freel tie this baby up!

[fisch11]

I would almost rather have Milton swing the bat there....oh well, hopefully Freel rakes in 2 here.

[jesusfan]

3-1 to Freel... Ohka looking wild... C'mon Freely!

[KoryMac5]

Runge loves the outside corner

[KoryMac5]

Freel needs to come through Ohka is tough tonight

[jesusfan]

Freel grounds to Cirillo... still 3-1 Brewers...

[KYRed]

Man, Freel is leaving everybody on base this game. First time was a pass on the bad call, but too many RISP left this game so far.

[jesusfan]

Miller first pitch flies to Freel... 1 down.. C'mon Milton, lets keep this going...

[jesusfan]

Ohka rips another one to Freel... 3 pitches, 2 outs...

[fisch11]

5-4 Mets over Braves in the 6th.
3-0 Arizone over Houston in the 4th.

[jesusfan]

Astros just tied the game on a Luke Scott 3 run HR!

[fisch11]

Haha! Yes! Brewers announcers just said that Ned Yost confirmed Derrick Turnbow is his closer again. That's great news if we can't rally until the 9th.

[keeganbrick]

Its about time we got that low strike call.

[jesusfan]

Milton K's Clark... Now the Brewers are mad... lol C'mon Dunner, Griffey, EE

[fisch11]

Quick trip back to the bat rack.

[Gallen5862]

Injury Update. Chipper Jones reinjured himself swinging. He left the game in pain. The announcers think he reinjured the oblique muscles near his ribcage.

[fisch11]

This ump makes CB Bucknor look like the human questec.

[jesusfan]

SAN FRAN has the bases jacked... Alou up 1 down... Bonds on deck...

[fisch11]

Injury Update. Chipper Jones reinjured himself swinging. He left the game in pain. The announcers think he reinjured the oblique muscles near his ribcage.

I like Chipper. If he lands on the DL the Braves will be hurting. He has carried that team back into contention with his bat.

[jesusfan]

Ohka up to 81 pitches as Dunn lines a Double into the RF corner... Nice piece of hitting Dunner!

[jesusfan]

Griff dribbles weakly to 2nd... C'mon EE

[fisch11]

Dunn is still locked in. Hitting streak to 6 games. I can't believe I just used "Dunn" and "hitting streak" in the same comment.

[jesusfan]

Cirillo pulls Miller off the plate and Dunner scores... 3-2 Brew Crew... EE @ 1st...

[fisch11]

Jr. with a productive out at least.

[keeganbrick]

I was waiting for a collision.

[fisch11]

Caught a break there. Dunn was dead to rights....I was waiting for him to bowl over Miller.

[fisch11]

Dunn didn't even think about sliding....you knew it was coming! Oh well, stay healthy and get the run.

[KYRed]

Dunn scores, 5 seconds after FSN tells us that Ohka was #1 in MLB with a .026 BA against with RISP (1 for 40 on the year). And really, a good throw would have had Dunn out at the plate, wasn't Ohka's fault really.

Makes me feel a little more solidarity with what we had been doing earlier in the game by not driving them in!

[jesusfan]

Ohka up to 90 pitches as Hatte draws a walk... C'mon BP!

[fisch11]

Don't bunt this time BP. Take him deep like the last time.

[jesusfan]

BP ignorantly swings at the 1st pitch curve and pops to 2nd.... 2 down

[fisch11]

Rumors floating around in Milwaukee: David Bell to the Brewers possibly???

[jesusfan]

Clayton K's and strands their 8th baserunner of the night... 3-2 Brewers

[fisch11]

5th innings with Brewers announcers and they've used Carlos Lee's name in every inning.....enough!

[fisch11]

Ohka - 96 pitches through 5.

[keeganbrick]

Alright, we all know how Milton perfroms the 3rd time through the lineup. Lets say a little :pray: and hope Narron realizes this too and has Stanridge throwing in the pen.

[fisch11]

Big inning from Milton here....we've got some momentum going.
Graffinino, Cirilo, Hall due up.

[fisch11]

That beer pen on the right field fence is pretty sweet by the way.

[fisch11]

Graff grounds out to EE. 1 away.

[fisch11]

Marty's 62nd BDay today I guess.

[fisch11]

Cirilo doubles to right. Reds killer Hall up.

[KYRed]

I really hope we have someone warming up. I'd take him out if Hall got on, but he'll be staying in unless someone's ready.

[fisch11]

22% of Hall's HR production this year has come against the Reds. 5 this year.

[fisch11]

Nice. Milton hanging so needed 0's. One more inning for a quality start.

[fisch11]

To the 6th, 3-2 Brewers.
LaRue, Milton, Freel due up.

[KYRed]

Despite those typical long fly balls, it is a nice recovery by Milton to keep us in the game after that 1st inning.

Is he done considering he's coming up 2nd this inning?

[fisch11]

Ohka's out. Helling in.

[fisch11]

LaRue flies out to Hart. 1 down.

[fisch11]

Milton walks.

[KYRed]

Helling has a 0.96 ERA this month in 6 appearances. He's gone 2 and 3 innings a piece in two of the starts, so he may not just be in for the 6th.

[fisch11]

Freel flies out to right. 2 down.

[fisch11]

Dunn is gassing Milton out there on 1st. Running on 2 foul balls.

[fisch11]

Dunn walks. Rest Milton.

[keeganbrick]

Wow, Griffey hits a line drive to right field they wave Dunn from first and he plows Miller at home plater, he held on to the ball though.

On the upside the game is tied and Miller's mask flew off on the collision.

[fisch11]

Dunn gets a second crack at Millar on Jr.'s RBI double. Millar holds on, but Jr. ties the ball game! 3-3 to the bottom of the 6th.

[fisch11]

Not too many people will win that battle at the plate with Dunn. Cudos to Millar.

[Hey Meat]

What were those two drunks saying to Griffey while he was on deck? Junior looked like he was pissed.

[goreds2]

Not too many people will win that battle at the plate with Dunn. Cudos to Millar.

Yes, nice play by the catcher. (Remember Norm Charlton in 1990?)

[fisch11]

On the replay...Millar kind of took a grazing blow from Dunn.

[keeganbrick]

Giants lose 0-3 after having 2 runnners in in 9th with no outs.

[fisch11]

Yes, nice play by the catcher. (Remember Norm Charlton in 1990?)

Who was it that Dunn plowed like 3 years ago?

[jesusfan]

Hey Miller... Hit The One In The Middle!!

[jesusfan]

well... Milton has settled in nicely, hopefully we get to the pitchers spot this inning and PH...

[Hey Meat]

Ohka going out definitely will help us win this one.

[BoCcc2832]

I would definitely throw Milton out there for another inning. 84 pitches, 51 strikes, 33 balls (somewhere around 50 pitches in the last five innings). He's doing well. Keep him out there, Dent! By the way, Dent is 3-0 when Narron has been ejected this season.

[jesusfan]

C'mon EE!!! Be a lead-off man here....

[fisch11]

Heck of a night from Milton after the 1st!

[fisch11]

I would definitely throw Milton out there for another inning. 84 pitches, 51 strikes, 33 balls (somewhere around 50 pitches in the last five innings). He's doing well. Keep him out there, Dent! By the way, Dent is 3-0 when Narron has been ejected this season.

Nice catch on the Dent stat! I forgot about that....get 'em Bucky!

[keeganbrick]

Where u from in spfld?

[jesusfan]

EE lines to Center.. 1 down... C'mon Hatte... Stay hot!

[jesusfan]

Hatte Pops to Fielder... bad pitch to swing at... C'mon BP!

[Petitt33]

Looks like the Brewers have acquired David Bell from the Phillies for a minor league pitcher.

[fisch11]

Brewers announcers confirmed they landed David Bell from the Phillies. No details yet....thread started.

[jesusfan]

Phillips swings at another horrible pitch... onto the bottom of 7... Brew-3 Reds-3

[jesusfan]

Milton onto the 7th inning as he K's Tony Gwynn!!!

[keeganbrick]

Pinch hitter Tony Gwynn Jr. strikes out.

[jesusfan]

Good Play by Milton... knocks it down... throws to first... 2 down.

[fisch11]

5-4 Arizona over Houston in the 6th.
6-4 Mets over Braves in the 9th.

[fisch11]

Milton doing it all....pitching, RBI, glove work.

[MartyFan]

Milton has looked good since the first....saw on the game he was hitting 92 on a couple pitches.

[jesusfan]

Now.. Milton's pitching 91-92.. where was that earlier... Coffee and Bray in the pen...

[jesusfan]

Graff flies to Freel... another 1-2-3 inning... C'mon now... Clayton, LaRue, PH?

[keeganbrick]

Milton 95 total pitches with the middle of the Brewers lineup coming up. I say you pull him now.

[EKURed]

Milton 95 total pitches with the middle of the Brewers lineup coming up. I say you pull him now.

Absolutely. But, give him credit. After the 1st inning he was really good.

[jesusfan]

Matt Wise in for the Brew Crew... C'mon let's hit this chump...

[fisch11]

Since Milton is probably done now....7 innings, 5 hits, 3 runs. I'll take that everyday of the week....especially from Milton. Nice work tonight, Eric.

[KYRed]

Nice job by Milton overall.

7 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 3 K's

Surely he won't be hitting this inning with the game tied, no matter if we get anyone on before him. I'd certainly sign up for 3 runs given up in 7 innings in every Milton start for the rest of the year!

[keeganbrick]

Absolutely. But, give him credit. After the 1st inning he was really good.
If he gave up 3 runs over 6-7 innings every start I wouldnt be complaining.

[jesusfan]

I'd PH someone for LaRue... we have RA, Deno, and Ross on the bench...

[jesusfan]

Clayton with a dribbler to Short... LaRue up... Deno on deck??

[MartyFan]

Clayton showed some speed...I know he was out but not by much...I never realized he was so fast.

[jesusfan]

My bet is that Valentin Pinch-hits if LaRue gets out... Deno if he get's on...

[jesusfan]

and LaRue K's... horrible!

[keeganbrick]

My bet is that Valentin Pinch-hits if LaRue gets out... Deno if he get's on...
Thats what I was thinkin but its the complete opposite.

[KYRed]

and LaRue K's... horrible!

Yep, Jason Mendoza is looking pretty bad tonight.

[Gandalf the Red]

Apparently, Narron getting tossed is a prerequisite for a Deno sighting...

[jesusfan]

Deno singles up the middle... C'mon Freely!!

[jesusfan]

Freel Doubles in Deno!!!! nice job Freel!!!

[keeganbrick]

Freel doubles to left field, Deno scores baby!!

[KYRed]

Freel comes up big for RBI double!

[Gandalf the Red]

Deno with velociraptor speed around the bases...

[jesusfan]

Make em pay JR!!!

[keeganbrick]

Deno with velociraptor speed around the bases...
:eek:

[fisch11]

Deno with velociraptor speed around the bases...

It has been confirmed that Bud Selig and MLB is pushing to apply a 4th base during Denorfia's AB's and when he is on base.

I hope Coffey is ready to get it going...1 - 2 - 3...

Milton deserves this win....let's hold it Todd.

Then again Arroyo has deserved 3 of the last 4 that he lost or got a no decision on too.

Let's just get Bill Hall out of the way here in the 8th.

Hall singles on a 3-2 pitch (what's new?) Bray in to face Fielder.
