[Reds Fanatic]

Reds Starting Lineup from Trent:



Hatteberg 1b
Hopper cf
Griffey rf
Dunn lf
Keppinger 2b
Valentin c
Encarnacion 3b
Gonzalez ss
Belisle p

One other piece of news from Trent: Livingston will start Saturday and Arroyo Sunday.

[Red Leader]

Griffey and Dunn back to back....

Hey Wayne. Nice lineup, although I guess you were kind of forced on that since Phillips is out.

[Joseph]

Man do we have some 'weak' sticks on this team.

[edabbs44]

Reality has hit...that lineup looks so ugly.

[MartyFan]

UGH

[flyer85]

would be nice if Keppinger was 2nd and Hopper was at the bottom.

[KoryMac5]

Hamilton's wrist has really impacted what Mack and the team can do.

[GAC]

Chat is open :beerme:

Bullpen phone not working for the Pirates...

Bullpen phone not working for the Pirates...

Hey, gotta find the money for Morris somewhere

[CTA513]

Belisle should have just taken 3 strikes and let Hatteberg hit with 2 outs.

[PuffyPig]

Belisle should have just taken 3 strikes and let Hatteberg hit with 2 outs.

Now there's a descision based on results only.

[traderumor]

Bullpen phone not working for the Pirates...Which means the Reds batted around and lead 4-0 on five hits.

1 out bottom first.

[BCubb2003]

It's about time the Reds had an inning like that.

Wayne: But we're not dead! I feel happy! I feel happy!

[Matt700wlw]

Well..Belisle's loaded the bases and the tying run comes to the plate...

[WVRedsFan]

This is destined to be the shortest game thread in history!

[BCubb2003]

11,000 Pirates fans suffer rabies scare as bat flies into outfield.

589. It's shocking that Dunn and Griff are hitting today. It's good that they're having nice games, but you've got to split up those lefties.

589. It's shocking that Dunn and Griff are hitting today. I can't figure out why.

Nothing against them.. the race is over.. now they can relax as well as the rest and just play..LOL

[BCubb2003]

These insurance runs are important.

[Razor Shines]

Nothing against them.. the race is over.. now they can relax as well as the rest and just play..LOL

I don't think that's it at all. It's just hard to hit well when you don't see very many hittable pitches.

[Matt700wlw]

This means the Reds will score 3 runs in the next 2 nights

[KronoRed]

Two lefties in a row? come on now..that's crazy lineup making

[BCubb2003]

An A-Bomb... from A-Gon...

[traderumor]

Hello? (echo) Hello? (echo)

[pedro]

This isn't unpleasant. Wayne's "dream team" shows up from time to time.

[traderumor]

Hey, to start that 20 game winning streak to get back in the race, you gotta win that first one!

[KoryMac5]

This means the Reds will score 3 runs in the next 2 nights

Don't say that I will be making the trip Sat and staying Sun as well. I hope you didn't jinx me. ;)

[WVRedsFan]

To answer the question, "is there any interest in Reds baseball?", we have just completed a game thread with 37 posts (38 with mine).

It was a very enjoyable game to watch for awhile, and wouldn't you know it. I got company and couldn't enjoy it.

[KronoRed]

To quote FCB from a gamethread a few years ago
"It's Friday this team sucks"

;)

[Ron Madden]

I don't think that's it at all. It's just hard to hit well when you don't see very many hittable pitches.


BINGO!!!!

[NJReds]

An A-Bomb... from A-Gon...

If only John Sterling was a Reds announcer. How fun would that be...:help:

This may be the saddest game thread I have ever read. :(

I was at the game last night. The Reds played as well as they had all season. Hopefully it will continue tonight, as I'm going back.
