[Degenerate39]

Put Bruce in right and Gomes in left and that's a good line up

[_Sir_Charles_]

Reds trivia for the Cowboy. How many members of the '75 reds managed in the big leagues. 6, 4 or 2. Brantley said 4. It's 2 isn't it? Rose & Doggie.

You think so? I don't care for Janish in the 2 hole, and I really don't care for Miller starting at all. But it's not bad I guess.

Considering he's pretty much lost his power at this stage...should we consider Rolen in the 2 hole? He's got good bat control and he hits both lefties & righties fairly well. He might be a good solution for that problem.

Bill Plummer. Not sure who the 4th is. Maybe John Vuckovich.

[Tom Servo]

Stubbs doubles in McDonald. 1-0 Reds.


Hooray Stubbs.

[TheNext44]

I tell you, Stubbs is the big RBI guy for the middle of the lineup the Reds have been looking for!

He drives in McDonald from second with a clutch two out double.

Reds 1 Marlins 0

[mth123]

Bottom of the 4th.

Phillips GO.
Rolen walks.

[mth123]

Gomes walks. 2 on, 1 out.

[mth123]

McDonald Ks. Its up to Corky.

[mth123]

Corky with a 3 Run Home Run. Wow

[Tom Servo]

Corky with a 3 Run Home Run. Wow
LMAO. Good one, mth. What really happened?

[WebScorpion]

Corky with a 3 Run Home Run. Wow
He unCorked one! :thumbup:

[TheNext44]

It's the Kip And Corky Show today!

(Not as good as Uncle Al and Captain Windy, but I'm enjoying it.)

[WVRedsFan]

Maybe Doc Rogers was right. Bruce has been scarce since his return. Maybe dusty won't play him if he continues to struggle. I thought Rogers was full of stuff, but maybe he does have some inside information.

[TheNext44]

Stubbs (kinda) beats out an infield hit, then the Marlins imitate the Reds of a few years ago as Janish bunts, and is safe when no one covers first.

first and second, no one out for Votto.

Blind squirrel - nut. It was pretty clear that when he wasn't put in the lineup his first day back, combined with Dusty saying that he was still rusty, that the plan was never to play Bruce everyday down the stretch. Doc is just basing his stuff on these observations.

[mth123]

Votto K's
pitching change
Phillips singles in Stubbs with Janish to 3B.

[mth123]

Janish out at 3B sorry.

[mth123]

Rolen singles, Gomes FO.

5-0 Reds end of 5.

[mth123]

Kip Wells:

6 IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 0K, 0HR. I'm sure BABIP will get all the credit, but he's forcing the Reds to protect him on the 40 man. ERA down to 4.78.

[WebScorpion]

Wells gets Carroll to GO to 3rd, and pinch hitter Sanchez lines out to Phillips at 2nd. After a Coghlan double, Nick Johnson lines out to center field. Fish still not on the scoreboard after their half of the 6th.

[WebScorpion]

Kip Wells:

6 IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 0K, 0HR. I'm sure BABIP will get all the credit, but he's forcing the Reds to protect him on the 40 man. ERA down to 4.78.
...and he's batting in the 6th. Only 74 pitches, so he may go a few more. :thumbup:

[mth123]

Wells Ks Hanley. 1 Out in the 7th,

[mth123]

Cantu with a FO. 2 Outs.

[mth123]

Uggla Ks. 7 strong for wells with Ks of 2 All Stars in the 7th.

[WebScorpion]

Uggla Ks. 7 strong for wells with Ks of 2 All Stars in the 7th.

He struck out Ramirez on 3 pitches and Uggla on 4...he's only at 83 pitches after 7. He could... go... all...

[mth123]

Janish with another double. Its scary that the Reds three biggest needs all have hot players (Stubbs, Janish, and Wells), I hope they aren't too content.

[mth123]

Votto 2 run HR.

[mth123]

Phillips Triples. Looking like a CG for Wells IMO.

[mth123]

Phillips scores on a Rolen GO. 8-0.

[mth123]

Gomes walks.

[WebScorpion]

This poor kid (Tim Wood) came into the game with a 1.89 ERA; It's up to 3.10 so far...

[TheNext44]

Janish with another double. Its scary that the Reds three biggest needs all have hot players (Stubbs, Janish, and Wells), I hope they aren't too content.

Don't forget McDonald in LF. He's hot right now too.

So I guess Jocketty was right when he suggested the Reds were set for next year. :cool:

McDonald to the rescue. He Ks. Inning over.

[mth123]

Sorry only the 2nd out. Corky POPS out. Now its over.

Bite your tongue.

[mth123]

John Baker singles.

[mth123]

Cody Ross singles.

[Tom Servo]

Kipper hasn't thrown a CG since 2005.

[mth123]

Carroll singles. Baker scores.

[mth123]

Well 7 good ones. In a tight game, the pen comes in for the 8th. Nice outing again though the stats may show poorly if the pen can't shut the door.

[mth123]

Danny Rae in with runners on 1st and 3rd and no outs.

[mth123]

Gload on FC. Runner out at home, other to 3B. 1 out.

[mth123]

HBP. Loaded with Nick Johnson and HanRam coming up.

[mth123]

Johnson DP. Saves a good day for Wells.

[mth123]

Adam Rosales (remember him?) Ks.

[mth123]

Stubbs GO.

[mth123]

Janish out on the first pitch. We go to the 9th.

[_Sir_Charles_]

With all the talk of Janish swinging a wet noodle...the kid is fourth on the club with 19 doubles now and that's with very limited ab's.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Micah Owings sighting!

[mth123]

With all the talk of Janish swinging a wet noodle...the kid is fourth on the club with 19 doubles now.

OPS .622. .606 in Sept when it seems like he's been hot.

Noodle still wet.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Arroyo's thinking to himself, "where in the heck were these bats YESTERDAY!!!" :O)

[_Sir_Charles_]

OPS .622. .606 in Sept when it seems like he's been hot.

Noodle still wet.

Don't get me wrong. I agree with you. It's just that nearly all of his hits have been doubles it seems.

[_Sir_Charles_]

And this one belongs to the Reds! Way to come back and split the series.

[mth123]

HanRam Ks.
Cantu GO
Uggla Pops out.

TOBTTR

[traderumor]

Marlins ought to feel fortunate to get a split. They nearly got swept.
