[flyer85]

I still am completely baffled with Phillips as a top or middle order of the hitter.

He profiles to a 6/7 hole hitter until he learns not to get himself out on bad pitches with less than 2 strikes(which he does continually).

[keeganbrick]

Wow, EE to Louiseville huh. Well I gotta go take an exam, hopefully when I get done around 12:15 the Reds wont already be losing.

[keeganbrick]

Games doesnt start til 12:35, nice looks like my previous wish is coming true.

[BRM]

BP has no business hitting at the top or the middle of the order.

If people thought Edwin was bad defensively at 3B, wait until they see Freel playing there everyday.

[Marc D]

Agree 100% on Freel.

I am ok with sending EE down if its in his best interest long term. If they think this is in the Reds best interest to help win now they are more clueless in the FO than I thought.

[HotCorner]

BP has no business hitting at the top or the middle of the order.

Wonder if Freel will get benched when he makes an error at third?

[RichRed]

Wonder if Freel will get benched when he makes an error at third?

Not if he hustles while he does it.

[BoCcc2832]

Freel won't be playing every day. You forget that we have a stud defensiveman in Castro. Sure he can't hit, but neither can Gonzalez (well, he's not supposed to be able to hit)

[BRM]

Not if he hustles while he does it.

Or if he looks angry afterwards.

[BRM]

Freel won't be playing every day. You forget that we have a stud defensiveman in Castro. Sure he can't hit, but neither can Gonzalez (well, he's not supposed to be able to hit)

That's even worse.

[fewfirstchoice]

With EE gone doesnt Castro look good in that starting lineup.I say get used to it.While I think Castro is good on the bench I just dont agree with how much JN starts him.

[PuffyPig]

Castro is starting, not because EE is in the minors, but becasue Gonzo is having the day off.

[lollipopcurve]

6-3 Astros. Or 6-2. Reds get 7 hits.

I will be stunned if the Reds win this game.

[NorrisHopper30]

Why would he put Castro ahead of Ross?

[MississippiRed]

With EE gone doesnt Castro look good in that starting lineup.I say get used to it.While I think Castro is good on the bench I just dont agree with how much JN starts him.

This is probably the best argument for letting EE work through his problems. He gets sent down just when it looked like his bat was coming to life, too. He hit the ball hard at least three times last night. That throwing error was just too costly, I guess. I know when he catches a hard hit ball that gives him plenty of time to make the throw, I hold my breath a little bit, but Castro and Freel are not improvements. EE is our best shot at a RH bat coming through to help the team with some power.

[flyer85]

Why would he put Castro ahead of Ross?quit trying to make sense out of narron's linueps.

[NorrisHopper30]

quit trying to make sense out of narron's linueps.

I think i'll take this advice..

[BRM]

Why would he put Castro ahead of Ross?

Does it really matter?

[Puffy]

So - in 26 games Lance Berkman has 1 HR off the NL starters, but in 8 games against Reds starters he has 4 HR's.

Yup, thats about right. The Reds really need to pitch him differently than they currently do. Whatever their scouting report says, toss it and become Opposite George.

[flyer85]

So - in 26 games Lance Berkman has 1 HR off the NL starters, but in 8 games against Reds starters he has 4 HR's.
the Astros also have this thing about not splitting up their most productive hitters, a novel concept to the Reds.

Yup, thats about right. The Reds really need to pitch him differently than they currently do. Whatever their scouting report says, toss it and become Opposite George.

Even though the Reds pitchers seem reluctant to do it but I would think Berkman deserves a high hard one to put him on his back the first time up today.

[Razor Shines]

Even though the Reds pitchers seem reluctant to do it but I would think Berkman deserves a high hard one to put him on his back the first time up today.

There is no doubt he needs that. The way he dives out over the outside part of the plate and drive balls over the wall in LF. He has no worry of the Reds coming hard inside to him.

[Marc D]

Castro and Freel on the left side of the infield. Thats truely impressive.

This franchise is just sad.

[cumberlandreds]

First pitch is a swing and a miss.

[RichRed]

Why would he put Castro ahead of Ross?

Catchers hit 8th. It's the law.

[jesusfan]

Good AB by Palmeiro so far...

[cumberlandreds]

Palmeiro grounds to 2b after nine pitches.

[jesusfan]

grounder to BP... 1 down

[Marc D]

Oh goodie an early call to the pen today, Harangs pitch count is going to be up there.

[jesusfan]

Fly out to Hamilton... 2 down

[cumberlandreds]

Lorretta flies to CF. Two out.

[jesusfan]

Oh goodie an early call to the pen today, Harangs pitch count is going to be up there.

seems like it always is... thats what you get with strikeout pitchers...

[jesusfan]

Berkman singles to right...

[cumberlandreds]

Berkman singles. At least it wasn't a HR.

[Marc D]

Astros announcers wondering why we never brush back Berkman.

That says a lot.

[jesusfan]

shew... WATH AM is so far behind it isnt even funny...

[cumberlandreds]

Lee K's. No score with the good guys coming to bat.

[jesusfan]

Harang K's Lee... 17 pitches, not too bad considering the 9 pitch first AB...

[Homer Bailey]

Can anyone honestly tell me why this game is blacked out on mlbtv??

[Matt700wlw]

Can anyone honestly tell me why this game is blacked out on mlbtv??

Because it's not available locally to Cincinnati market viewers, which I assume you are.

[Razor Shines]

Can anyone honestly tell me why this game is blacked out on mlbtv??

I'm watching there.

[PuffyPig]

[QUOTE=Marc D;1338791]Oh goodie an early call to the pen today, Harangs pitch count is going to be up there.[/QUOTE

Generally, Harang pitches more innings than most NL pitchers.

The Reds starters this year have pitched more innings than anyone in the NL.

Harang will be fine.

[Matt700wlw]

I'm watching there.

Maybe you're not "Cincinnati Market?"

[Homer Bailey]

Because it's not available locally to Cincinnati market viewers, which I assume you are.

I'm in Columbus? I don't understand this...

[cumberlandreds]

Freel lines a single off SS's glove.

[jesusfan]

Freelie singles off the shortstops glove...

[cumberlandreds]

Base hit by Hat and Freel to third.

[jesusfan]

Hatteberg singles and Freel goes to 3rd... 1st and 3rd...

[Razor Shines]

Maybe you're not "Cincinnati Market?"

Maybe I'm not, or maybe I am and I know a way around it.

[Matt700wlw]

I'm in Columbus? I don't understand this...

I've never tried to understand MLB blackout rules....they're confusing.

[jesusfan]

Hatte is killing the ball right now...

[Matt700wlw]

Small ball!?!?!?! :eek:

[RedsMan3203]

I'm in Columbus? I don't understand this...

Columbus is considered in the Cincinnati Market.

[jesusfan]

Griffey with a Sac fly to center... 1-0 Reds...woo hoo, manufacturing runs!

[Razor Shines]

Ah, Jr. if would have waited he would have given you something to hit.

[cumberlandreds]

Griffey SF to center. Reds lead it 1-0.

[RedsMan3203]

Small ball!?!?!?! :eek:

Only if Dunner could learn not to hit the ball as far when there is a running on 3rd. He'd be play'n small ball too.

[Matt700wlw]

Only if Dunner could learn not to hit the ball as far when there is a running on 3rd. He'd be play'n small ball too.

Bench him ;)

[Matt700wlw]

Phillips shaken up....

[cumberlandreds]

I've never tried to understand MLB blackout rules....they're confusing.

That's easy. When MLB finds out who your favorite team is they automatically black them out. No matter where you live. ;)

[Homer Bailey]

Columbus is considered in the Cincinnati Market.


But why does it matter what market im in if the game is not on FSN? What is the point in not letting me see it? I understand if I couldn't see it if the game was actually on tv.

[RedsMan3203]

Bench him ;)

Dont' give them any ideas. Doesn't he still have options? :thumbup:

[jesusfan]

BP fouls one off of his hip and Mann checking on him, I guess Eddie may come back?? lol

[jesusfan]

BP infield single...

[RedsMan3203]

But why does it matter what market im in if the game is not on FSN? What is the point in not letting me see it? I understand if I couldn't see it if the game was actually on tv.

They want you to take the 2 hour road trip to the park. Simple as that.

[Matt700wlw]

Dont' give them any ideas. Doesn't he still have options? :thumbup:

Probably :D


Griffey still has an option, too.

[Homer Bailey]

They want you to take the 2 hour road trip to the park. Simple as that.

LOL then with that rationale why would they show any game on tv? Haha thanks for the feedback though.

[RedsMan3203]

Probably :D


Griffey still has an option, too.

JR is playing small ball.

[Roy Tucker]

Phillips batting cleanup?

[Matt700wlw]

:dunn:

:jump:

Tied with Bonds for NL Leader!!!

[jesusfan]

Dunn 3- Run Homer!!!!!!

[Razor Shines]

He is strong. That ball was nearly at his ankles.

[cumberlandreds]

Dunn Homers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump:

[jesusfan]

WOO HOO! I love being a DUNN FAN!

[BRM]

More small ball?

[Homer Bailey]

Dunn 3- Run Homer!!!!!!

Wow i wish I could see SOMETHING! Now mlbtv is blacking me out from the audio....

[jesusfan]

.276 11 HR 24 RBI! NICE #'s!

[Matt700wlw]

24 RBIs, 11 HRs

Maybe I was a bit too hard on the guy last month :D

[RedsMan3203]

LOL then with that rationale why would they show any game on tv? Haha thanks for the feedback though.

As silly as it sounds. I believe its the truth.

Hence the reason its blacked out, hence the reason they've blacked it out on the internet for radio reasons.

They want more people down at the games, and not at home. So what do they do? Black them out.

[jesusfan]

We really need to get to 15-20 and take it one game at a time on the West Coast... I'd be really happy with a 5-4 West Coast trip...

[VR]

The Reds really need to stick their boot on the Astros neck today and not let them up. Pour it on, killer instinct, all that good stuff.

[RedsMan3203]

24 RBIs, 11 HRs

Maybe I was a bit too hard on the guy last month :D


Thats 11 sac flys.

[jesusfan]

Hamilton grounds to ALbers... 2 down

[klw]

Albers v Reds on MAY 1

Pitchers IP H R ER BB SO HR PC-ST ERA
M Albers (L, 0-1) 2.1 8 6 3 1 2 2 70-41 5.02

[RedsFanWC]

If Dunn can bat .275 all year, he could put up some impressive numbers. I wonder if this is the Jacoby effect?

[Homer Bailey]

As silly as it sounds. I believe its the truth.

Hence the reason its blacked out, hence the reason they've blacked it out on the internet for radio reasons.

They want more people down at the games, and not at home. So what do they do? Black them out.

Isn't that the rationale the owner of the Chicago Blackhawks uses? I lived with a few guys from Chicago and they said the town basically just turned against the owner and the team after he refused to put them on tv in an effort to get fans in the stands. Thank god the Reds air 145 games this year (which I am very thankful for, just a little frusterated today.)

[Razor Shines]

Lol

[BoCcc2832]

Castro with a single

[cumberlandreds]

The hits just keep on coming. Castro singles.

[jesusfan]

Castro singles? We will surely win today!

[BoCcc2832]

Pickoff move to get Castro back to 1st...i guess if Dunn can steal, anybody (maybe even Casey) can

[RedsMan3203]

Don't know - It makes sense for those that live close to Cincinnati - but folks up here in Columbus really don't like to take the trip down 71/75 that often.

[BoCcc2832]

Let the countdown begin...Dunn has 10 more RBI to go until he reaches 500 for his career...

[jesusfan]

Ross K's... end of 1 4-0 Reds

[jesusfan]

Harang will lock his 5th win down today...

[BRM]

Harang will lock his 5th win down today...

You must be predicting a complete game.

[Marge'sMullet]

Hey, I'm watching it on MLB.TV from Korea. Glad to see Dunn on track.

[jesusfan]

Fly to Hamilton... 1 down

[jesusfan]

no way Homer should start his Major league career in L.A! low pressure???

[jesusfan]

Lamb singles to center, now hitting .371

[Matt700wlw]

no way Homer should start his Major league career in L.A! low pressure???

Fay's just giving his opinion (I know people don't like when these guys do that), but it won't be Homer....I would be completely stunned if it was.

[PuffyPig]

That ball was nearly at his ankles.

Gee, and Griffey was critized for swinging at a similiar pitch on his SF.

:laugh:

[KYRedsFan]

no way Homer should start his Major league career in L.A! low pressure???

Well, certainly lower than home game, and the Dodgers Reds rivalry ain't what it used to be

[jesusfan]

Burke grounds to Castro, 2 down... Lamb to 2nd..

[Jr's Boy]

Marty is so grouchy,last night Hamilton swung at the first pitch for an out.Marty comments asking why he swings at the first pitch everytime.Well first bat today for Josh and Marty says ''He'll probably swing at the first pitch''.Well Hamilton took ball one the first pitch.Is no one safe from Martys rhetoric?Hamilton is the last player he needs to be chastising.

[jesusfan]

Well, certainly lower than home game, and the Dodgers Reds rivalry ain't what it used to be

Yes, but the Dodgers have a pretty nasty line-up.... it could go either way, Homer could do great against the Dodgers, which could propel him to pitching great the rest of the season or the Dodgers could rough him up and Homer would have to rebound, which I think he has the mentality and the toughness to do, but does Krivsky and Co.

[Matt700wlw]

Marty is so grouchy,last night Hamilton swung at the first pitch for an out.Marty comments asking why he swings at the first pitch everytime.Well first bat today for Josh and Marty says ''He'll probably swing at the first pitch''.Well Hamilton took ball one the first pitch.Is no one safe from Martys rhetoric?Hamilton is the last player he needs to be chastising.

Last night Josh swung at 3 first pitches for 3 outs....

[Razor Shines]

Gee, and Griffey was critized for swinging at a similiar pitch on his SF.

:laugh:

Yeah who was that? :laugh:

But Griff's ball was a breaking ball, Dunn hit a fastball. And also Jr. was way ahead in the count.

[jesusfan]

Harang gets out of the inning w/ a grounder to Castro... 27 pitches through 2...

[jesusfan]

Krivsky went to Duke??? eww!

[Matt700wlw]

Marty to admit the Greg Maddux stat from last night was a bit off...in just a second.

Do you guys feel better now?

[jesusfan]

Harangatang K's...

[WMR]

Marty admitting he looked dumb for his Maddux stat last night and was wrong.

[jesusfan]

Don Messick was the voice of Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo!

[OesterPoster]

Come on. The answer is Scooby Doo. It's all in Frank Caliendo's stand-up act.

[Matt700wlw]

Freel is 2-2

[Jr's Boy]

Last night Josh swung at 3 first pitches for 3 outs....


Yes but today Marty had to make a smart ass comment about it.Well Marty the kid has only played in a hand full of big league games.

[jesusfan]

Freel doubles..

[PuffyPig]

Marty admitting he looked dumb for his Maddux stat last night and was wrong.

Well, the first sign of dealing with a problem is admitting it.

[KYRedsFan]

Flying out to LA today for vacation. Bring Bailey up!!

[Degenerate39]

What's the score?

[redhawkfish]

4-0 Reds!

[cumberlandreds]

Freels steals third! The legend continues..........

[WMR]

Pickoff move to get Castro back to 1st...i guess if Dunn can steal, anybody (maybe even Casey) can


THE STANTON MAN CAN

[jesusfan]

C'mon Griffey!

[cumberlandreds]

Hat pops out to short left. Freel stays at third.

[Matt700wlw]

I think the Maddux thing is that of 293 times he went 3-0, only 17 times did he NOT walk the batter...

Marty was given bad information :lol:

[jesusfan]

Thom is getting worked up over nothing...

[Ltlabner]

Marty schooling his boy on air :laugh:

[Matt700wlw]

:griffey:

:jump:

[Degenerate39]

Wow Dunn hit his 11th homer he's starting to get hot again.

[jesusfan]

Griffey is the MAN!!!!!!!!

[cumberlandreds]

569! 6-0 Reds!

[rotnoid]

Does that tie Raffy?

[Razor Shines]

Look at Jr. loafing around the bases. I've had it with him.

[jimbo]

Wow, Junior is dialed in.

[jesusfan]

Griffey has #'s too!!!! .319 6 HR 19 RBI

[Matt700wlw]

Griffey now "tied" with Palmiero...

[WMR]

Now tied with the juicer Raffy Palmeiro.

[keeganbrick]

Gameday says GRIFF HR.







ALLSTAR...........ALLSTAR

[cumberlandreds]

Marty says this is the best he has seen Junior in his time in Cincy.

[jesusfan]

No question this Offense has all the potential in the world, the starting pitching has been nothing short of very good, and the pen has been TERRIBLE.. This team will get better, if and only if the pen gets better...

[rotnoid]

Marty says this is the best he has seen Junior in his time in Cincy.

For once, he's absolutely right.

[Degenerate39]

Man I wish I could've watched this game today. Damn school :(

[jesusfan]

BP grounds out... end of 2, 6-0 Reds

[RedsMan3203]

Now passed the juicer Raffy Palmeiro.

There I fixed it for you! ;)

[Ltlabner]

Look at Jr. loafing around the bases. I've had it with him.

Probably smiling the whole way isn't he?

I take it this game is not TV anywhere? :angry:

[cumberlandreds]

After two the Reds lead it 6-0. 10-0 going to the eigth would look good.

[Stamford]

Griff's HR picks up Hatteberg who, in true Cincy fashion, fails to get Freel in from 3rd with less than 2 outs. We HAVE to be the worst in the league in scoring guys from 3rd with less than 2 outs. Really.

[Matt700wlw]

After two the Reds lead it 6-0. 10-0 going to the eigth would look good.

Remember when the Reds blew a 9-0 lead?




Why did I just do that? :evil:

[Degenerate39]

So just 31 more homers for Griffey? He might do that by the end of May

[RedsFanWC]

Do the Reds have the best offensive outfield in the bigs? Hamilton, Dunn and Junior have combined for 25 HRS and 60 RBIs already, and thats with Hamilton and Junior not even having 100 ABs yet.

[RedsMan3203]

Remember when the Reds blew a 9-0 lead?




Why did I just do that? :evil:


Becuz we all like to look back on that game and laugh. :laugh:

[Razor Shines]

Probably smiling the whole way isn't he?

I take it this game is not TV anywhere? :angry:

It's on mlb.tv.

[cumberlandreds]

Albers lines out to Hat. Apparently the Astros are happy with three wins in this series as they let Albers bat for himself down 6-0.

[PuffyPig]

I think the Maddux thing is that of 293 times he went 3-0, only 17 times did he NOT walk the batter...

Marty was given bad information :lol:

That can't be right either.

Since 2004, Maddux was gone to a 3-0 count 89 times, and walked 49 on them, leaving 40 who were not walked. In the last 3 and a bit years.

[Matt700wlw]

Well, it's pretty clear what this team's problem is....

[cumberlandreds]

Remember when the Reds blew a 9-0 lead?




Why did I just do that? :evil:


For some reason I think this bullpen could top that collapse.

[Stamford]

Do the Reds have the best offensive outfield in the bigs? Hamilton, Dunn and Junior have combined for 25 HRS and 60 RBIs already, and thats with Hamilton and Junior not even having 100 ABs yet.

I can't think of a better one (statistically as of right now) off the top of my head. Problem is, even with unexpected performances from Griff and Hamilton.....we are 14-20. That is sad.

[Krash]

The Red's sure seem to score when Harang is pitching.

[Ltlabner]

It's on mlb.tv.

Unfortunatley not in Cincy it isnt.

[Matt700wlw]

That can't be right either.

Since 2004, Maddux was gone to a 3-0 count 89 times, and walked 49 on them, leaving 40 who were not walked. In the last 3 and a bit years.

Maybe I goofed it up now.....I don't know, it's giving me a headache :lol:


Maddux is one of the best pitchers I've had the joy of watching in my life - it doesn't really matter.

[BRM]

Well, it's pretty clear what this team's problem is....

Lack of playing time for Juan Castro?

[jesusfan]

Castro has it again.. 2 down

[PuffyPig]

Do the Reds have the best offensive outfield in the bigs? Hamilton, Dunn and Junior have combined for 25 HRS and 60 RBIs already, and thats with Hamilton and Junior not even having 100 ABs yet.

Hamilton's .961 OPs is the lowest now. Griffey over 1.000, Dunn at .987.

[jesusfan]

FLY OUT to Junior.. 38 pitches through 3 for Harang!

[cumberlandreds]

Easy third for Harang. 6-0 Reds in the third.

[jesusfan]

Hamilton's .961 OPs is the lowest now. Griffey over 1.000, Dunn at .987.

Potentially, yes the reds could have the best outfield in the bigs!

[RedsFanWC]

Harang not striking out that many guys today, but keeping his pitch count lower, which is a good idea with this bullpen

[Degenerate39]

A 6 run lead still doesn't make me feel safe with this bullpen. I hope Harang can continue to get guys out without throwing a ton of pitches. They need him to throw a good 7 or 8 innings. And if we have a comfortable lead bring in Coffey.

[Matt700wlw]

Dunn triples!

[jesusfan]

Dunn almost homers again, Dunn triples!!!

[flynn78]

Triple for Dunn

[Razor Shines]

Another triple for Dunn, awesome.

[cumberlandreds]

Dunn triples off the CF wall. His 2nd triple of the season.

[Stamford]

29/9 Strike/Ball ratio.....typical Harang (in a good way that is). I guess when you are always around the plate, you tend to give up more hits...but he certainly doesn't hurt himself via the free pass.

He is fun to watch. He may not be a traditional "1A" guy in the mold of a Halladay or Santana...but I am sure glad he pitches for US!

[CTA513]

Dunn triples!

2 stand up triples for Dunn this season.

:eek:

[Matt700wlw]

Nice job, Josh!

[jesusfan]

Okay... Dunn and Griffey are both locked in, we need to make a serious run on the west coast...

[WMR]

Lack of playing time for Juan Castro?

Jerry shouldn't you be focusing on the game?

[Degenerate39]

Dunn triples!

I smell someone hitting for the cycle today

[flynn78]

Sac fly hammy 7-0 Redlegs

[jesusfan]

Ham-bone with a Sac Fly!!!! 7-0 Hambone with 18 RBI now...

[cumberlandreds]

Another SF! Hamilton does the job. 7-0 Reds.

[Matt700wlw]

2 stand up triples for Dunn this season.

:eek:

0 Triples period last season.

[Degenerate39]

Roy Hobbs!

[jesusfan]

right handers should fear the Reds line-up... should...

[BRM]

Jerry shouldn't you be focusing on the game?

Why? My offense is hitting on all cylinders when Juan is in there.

[Stamford]

Hamilton is never going to fit in if he is able to score a guy from third with less than 2 outs. That kind of stuff ain't allowed in these here parts.

[jesusfan]

Castro grounds out... 2 down

[WMR]

Why? My offense is hitting on all cylinders when Juan is in there.

Hahahahahah that made me LOL

[jesusfan]

Rossie flys to palmerio... end of 3, 7-0 Reds...

[Stamford]

Castro grounds out... 2 down

and the earth resumes its normal orbit....

[Degenerate39]

Why? My offense is hitting on all cylinders when Juan is in there.

:laugh:

[BRM]

That would have been a productive out for Castro if Dunn hadn't already scored.

[Ltlabner]

You know, Derrick said it would be like this.

[Degenerate39]

I just noticed the Reds seem to do better when the game thread isn't a sticky.

[Matt700wlw]

That would have been a productive out for Castro if Dunn hadn't already scored.

Thanks for nothing, Dunn, you dope. :D

[BRM]

Jerry should run this lineup out there for the next 6 or 7 games.

[jesusfan]

Berkman continues to tear us up... single

[cumberlandreds]

Berkman as usual singles again.

[VR]

Jerry should run this lineup out there for the next 6 or 7 games.


gonzo please :-)

[Degenerate39]

Jerry should run this lineup out there for the next 6 or 7 games.

Without Gonzo?

[BRM]

Without Gonzo?

Jerry's MO is to stick with what works. This lineup is raking.

I was being facetious, by the way.

[Razor Shines]

You know, Derrick said it would be like this.

Derrick?

[Ltlabner]

Jerry's MO is to stick with what works. This lineup is raking..

Can he arrange to always have Albers pitching against us?

[cumberlandreds]

Lee flies to lf and Scott procedes to fly to CF. Two away.

[jesusfan]

Derrick?

my name is Derrick.....

[jesusfan]

Lamb singles again.. batting .389

[Ltlabner]

Derrick?

Derrick "Double Down" Beasley.

Weatherman for channel 5 TV (?)

There's a dreadfull commerical on the radio with this group of upbeat folks singing about how "Derrick said it would be like this".

"Hey Cincinnati!"

[captainmorgan07]

just got on today not at all suprised to see EE in AAA he needs some time to refine his defense badly get his confidence back at the plate

[cumberlandreds]

Berkman and Lamb have all the Astro hits today. Just be glad they don't bat next to each other in the order.

[Ltlabner]

"Hey Cincinnati!"

I'm mean Derrick seems like an ok guy.

He just smiles too much for my tastes.

[jesusfan]

I guess we'll get to see Hamilton every day now!

[Hoosier Red]

Well I was about to point out that Freel is halfway to the cycle. If you combined Freel and Dunn's at bats they'd be at the cycle.

[Matt700wlw]

Oh boy...

[jesusfan]

Burke Homers to left... 7-3 Reds now...

[VR]

Harang's pitch count creeping...it is nice to see him w/ a much lower count though...even at the expense of a few k's.

[cumberlandreds]

Burke homers and here come the Astros. 7-3 Reds.

[jesusfan]

okay, settle down settle down... we'll be ok...

[CTA513]

The ball must be carrying because that looked like it should have been a fly ball out.

[Matt700wlw]

This game is no longer in "bullpen safe range" if there is a such thing

[Ltlabner]

Does this mean we aren't good anymore?

[jesusfan]

Burke says "Take that Pence!"

[Degenerate39]

Berkman and Lamb and Burke have all the Astro hits today. Just be glad they don't bat next to each other in the order.

:(

[Cedric]

Harang has been a huge disappointment for this team. Hard to blame the starting pitching at this point, but Harang just hasn't held up his end at all.

[VR]

Burke Homers to left... 7-3 Reds now...

Where/ what was the pitch?

Chris Burke!?!?!

[jesusfan]

Does this mean we aren't good anymore?

nah, just right now...we'll be good again the next out..

FLY to Jr. Hey we're good again!

[Razor Shines]

What is with all the hugging going on with Major League baseball teams? Am I crazy or are people getting and giving hugs way more than ever before. There shouldn't be any hugging in baseball.

[VR]

Reds need to put the boot back on the neck this inning

[captainmorgan07]

today's 64 million dollar question who will jerry run out there today to make us nervous

[cumberlandreds]

Fly out to Junior ends the inning. Reds hold the Astros to a field goal and keep the lead at 7-3.

[Cedric]

Does this mean we aren't good anymore?

There isn't a miracle large enough to make this team good in any reasonable time frame.

They are just a badly constructed team. Hopefully Harang settles down and makes better pitches from here on out. Without him improving this team might enter Royals territory.

[jesusfan]

Where/ what was the pitch?

Chris Burke!?!?!

pitch was a heater out over the plate on a tee...

[flyer85]

Just in case you were starting to get comfortable ...

[cumberlandreds]

What is with all the hugging going on with Major League baseball teams? Am I crazy or are people getting and giving hugs way more than ever before. There shouldn't be any hugging in baseball.

It's the Sean Casey effect. It's rubbing off on everyone. ;)

[Matt700wlw]

Harang has been a huge disappointment for this team. Hard to blame the starting pitching at this point, but Harang just hasn't held up his end at all.

Compared to last year, yes, he's been disappointing....but he's still done well.

[Ltlabner]

And you know what hugging leads to.......

[CTA513]

Send Harang to AAA or cut him.

[Jr's Boy]

MC to the hizzle thats fo shizzle.:explode:

[jesusfan]

Harang singles...

[cumberlandreds]

Harang singles. This has got to be the Reds day with that.

[PuffyPig]

Harang has been a huge disappointment for this team. Hard to blame the starting pitching at this point, but Harang just hasn't held up his end at all.


Before this game, Harang had a DIPS ERA of 2.70, lowest in the NL.

He's been just fine.

[jesusfan]

Whoever asked me that question of where was the pitch to Burke... here it is, kinda Miltonesque!http://drpd.durhamca.com/tball.gif

[OesterPoster]

Dear Phil Garner,

Don't even think about taking Matt Albers out of this game yet.

Thank you,

today's 64 million dollar question who will jerry run out there today to make us nervous

I bet Saarloos, he already pitched the last two games so he should be fresh in Jerry's mind

[rotnoid]

today's 64 million dollar question who will jerry run out there today to make us nervous
