7/5/10 Reds at Mets

[Screwball]

Per Fay's twitter:

Phillips
Cabrera
Votto
Rolen
Gomes
Bruce
Stubbs
Corky

Harang

[Scrap Irony]

Hope Harang likes pitching in the big park at New Shea. I'm guessing he will.

Would love to see Cincinnati grab the first game of the series here.

[RBA]

A chance for Votto to show off in front of the biggest media market.

[Gainesville Red]

In attendance. Votto hits BOMBS in BP.

[Degenerate39]

Harang is scratched tonight... Wood pitching instead

[Screwball]

Harang is scratched tonight... Wood pitching instead

Apparently lower back pain for Harang. Wood was scheduled for tomorrow.

[Tom Servo]

Thom's shirt is doing that distortion thing on my TV.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Per Thom, the Reds are "hopeful" Harang will be able to make the start tomorrow night.

[nate]

Chat is open!

[Screwball]

BTW, Pelfrey is going for the Mets. IIRC, he shut down the Reds the last time he faced us in Cincy, and is even tougher at home. Wood might need to be on top of his game on short rest.

[TheNext44]

Big park. Tough pitcher. I'd bet the under on the Reds offense tonight

[RedsManRick]

Those blue Xerox signs in the back are insanely distracting.

[nate]

Boom goes the dynamite!

[Homer Bailey]

Oops. Not an all star.

[Tom Servo]

20 home runs. Not an all-star.

[Screwball]

Oops. Not an all star.

Nope, just an MVP.

[CrackerJack]

Votto rubbing it in. :)

[RedsManRick]

How great would it be for him to go nuts over the next week.

[TheNext44]

All-Star.. Scmall-Star. Votto is just good.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Colin Cowherd can put that in his pipe and smoke it!

[RedsManRick]

I wonder how many balls get hit on to the apple.

[Blitz Dorsey]

By Votto's reaction, I thought he just missed it at first.

[Homer Bailey]

By Votto's reaction, I thought he just missed it at first.

No no no no. The Joey-Votto-Casual-Bat-Laydown is vintage "Yeah, I just did that" from Joey Votto.

[RedsManRick]

Looks like Dusty told the guys to come out swinging early in the count tonight. Each guy saw just 2 pitches. Of course, I'll take 8 pitches and a run every inning.

[Blitz Dorsey]

No no no no. The Joey-Votto-Casual-Bat-Laydown is vintage "Yeah, I just did that" from Joey Votto.

It was the reaction on his face, not what he did with the bat. But hey, whatever works!

[TheNext44]

By Votto's reaction, I thought he just missed it at first.

Maybe he didn't. Maybe that's how far he hits 'em when he just misses them

[HeatherC1212]

I'll take a few more things like what Joey just did in the game tonight when we get to Philly. Charlie Manuel should probably have looked more at the schedule before he made his All Star picks, LOL ;) Those Philly fans should be VERY worried about Joey coming to town this week with a chip on his shoulder! More funkblasts are coming for sure, LOL :lol:

[VR]

Colin Cowherd can put that in his pipe and smoke it!

What's cowcrap yapping about now?

[Blitz Dorsey]

What's cowcrap yapping about now?

Oh, he was saying all day that people are making too big of a deal about Votto getting snubbed. It turned out to be great free pub for Votto though. Cowherd was saying Votto is fourth-best out of Pujols, Howard and Gonzalez. (Not necessarily just this year, but overall.)

[Screwball]

That was an absurdly good at bat by David Wright. Fouled off numerous tough 2-strike pitches, and got a clean single on a pretty tough 3-2 changeup.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Ike Davis gives us a good idea of where Yonder should be at this stage of his career. Both first basemen drafted in the first round in 2008 (much like Smoak). However, Davis doesn't have a stud like Votto blocking his way to the Majors. (Not that it would matter right now with Alonso, he isn't ready.)

[RedsManRick]

After that great battle with Wright, that's two bad pitches he got hurt on -- both up in the zone.

[RedsManRick]

And got lucky on Frenchy there. That caught a lot more of the plate than he intended. Glad he got out of there with just 1 run.

[top6]

so why wood instead of owings? should we really be using our rookie pitcher on short rest? does not strike me as a good idea.

[RBA]

Why doesn't mlb.tv get their act together?

[Screwball]

Seems to me the Reds have been instructed to take all of Pelfrey's first pitches of an at-bat. Both Gomes and Cabrera took first pitch fastballs over the plate, and normally they're hacking at just about any first offering.

Just checked, and every other Reds batter has taken the first pitch as well.

[RedsManRick]

Why doesn't mlb.tv get their act together?

??

Other than it being buggy when games start (doesn't like to pick up the feed if you're already watching), I've had no problems recently. Getting both feeds completely smoothly tonight.

[RBA]

I can't get either feeds at the moment.

[Tom Servo]

That almost backfired lol

[RBA]

Had to restart the video feed over again. Finally got it.

[Tom Servo]

Uncle walks.

[RedsMan3203]

Woah! Stubbs took a walk!

[WVRedsFan]

I don't know why Corky is playing but here comes a DP.

[WVRedsFan]

See?

[Playadlc]

That was so predictable.

[Screwball]

I think Corky just ruined my theory.

[WVRedsFan]

Give me anyone but Corky at bat. Just pitiful. Raman Hernandez is so underated and yet the masses cry for Corky. Is it the stash??? :)

[_Sir_Charles_]

Have I missed something? Who's crying for Corky to play?

As for Ramon...he's out due to a knee injury.

[WVRedsFan]

Just trying to be funny. I know...see the smiley face?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Sorry. I overlooked it. A bit distracted here with the baby.

[Screwball]

Wood's K totals might not be outrageous, but he sure does get a lot of swings and misses.

[WVRedsFan]

Sorry. I overlooked it. A bit distracted here with the baby.

A baby at your age :). Been there, done that. I totally understand.

[WVRedsFan]

Wood strikes out the side. Holy jumping catfish.

[Redsfan320]

Really sorry about my lack of PBP. I had an event scheduled for late this afternoon, and it ran much longer than I expected. I should be able to take PBP at 9.

320

[VR]

Wood strikes out the side. Holy jumping catfish.

He's an 8.3/9 guy for his career......he looks like a lefty Leake, but knows how to get the k. I love that.

[WVRedsFan]

The young pitchers (Wood, Leake) seem to know how to handle a bat. I like that. Wood grounds out.

[WVRedsFan]

Phillips flies to center - 2 out.

[VR]

Good for OCab....a bb to bring up Votto.

[WVRedsFan]

OCab walks.

[VR]

#3 hitters batting .114 against Pelfrey. That's amazing.

[VR]

Joey has had two pitches to hit right down broadway.......


On the 2-2 count he nubs out 1-3.

[reds44]

Just got home and saw the replay of Joey's homer. Has anyone noticed how awesome his expressions are when he knows he got one? His one in the first was awesome. He almost had an expression of "whoops" on his face.

[WVRedsFan]

very quiet tonight. Everyone hung over?

[TRF]

4K's now for Wood

[VR]

Wood strikes out Tejada (called ball 3) and then strikes him out again on a pitcher further out of the strike zone. (and that's ok)

Davis walks....Bay bats w/ 2 down.

[BCubb2003]

very quiet tonight. Everyone hung over?

Everybody must be voting.

[WVRedsFan]

2-out walk to Davis. Runner on 1st and 2 out. 2-0 on the next batter.

[reds44]

Phillips has range.

[RedsMan3203]

Man, What an arm, what a play by Phillips. WEB GEM!

Hopefully Owings has 3 innings in him tonight.

[VR]

Brandon Phillips says "hey New York....did you know that "I" am the gold glove 2nd baseman in the National League"

3 down.....Wood at 60 pitches. You'd think he'll only throw 90 or so?

[Blitz Dorsey]

Great job out of T-Wood. Now let's get him some runs! Nice start from Rolen with a single.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Gomes has been jammed in both ABs. Doesn't get the fortunate bloop this time. One down.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Bruce with a double off the wall! Second and third one down.

[RedsMan3203]

JB just missed that HR oppo.

[RedsMan3203]

Stubbs with 2 walks in a game!!

[WVRedsFan]

IBB to Stubbs to get to Corky. Predictable.

[reds44]

Wow, that's a long way to hit it opposite field in that joint.

[_Sir_Charles_]

*crossing fingers toes legs anything* No DP!

[Playadlc]

I really miss Hanigan.

[RedsMan3203]

To make it fair the other hitters, Brandon Phillips should start using his hat for a glove just like the guy in the stands made a heck of a catch with him hat on a foul ball line drive.

[WVRedsFan]

Bruce should have hit a single...

I miss Ramon too. Anyone but...

[_Sir_Charles_]

Soft liner to center. Nobody can advance.

[redsfaninbsg]

Reds can't continue to play Corky. I know we all rail on certain guys but if he plays for an extended period of time the Reds will suffer. I don't see any three home run games in his future.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Crap. Grounder by wood to end the inning.

[RedsManRick]

They say Hanigan doesn't have his stroke back yet. But Corky never had one. Let's get Ryan up here ASAP.

[WVRedsFan]

Reds can't continue to play Corky. I know we all rail on certain guys but if he plays for an extended period of time the Reds will suffer. I don't see any three home run games in his future.

This. someone needs to get healthy soon. Is there no one else in the minors?

[_Sir_Charles_]

They say Hanigan doesn't have his stroke back yet. But Corky never had one. Let's get Ryan up here ASAP.

For tonight, Janish is the emergency catcher. Ummm...Corky's playing, doesn't that automatically constitute an emergency? :O)

[Blitz Dorsey]

I really miss Hanigan as well. Corky, love the 'stache, hate the offense.

[oneupper]

Thanks for the PBP. MLB.tv has died for me. :(

[WVRedsFan]

Volquez with no command in the minors, only 5 innings at once. I fear the worst for him coming back this year. You just can't count on him IMHO.

[Red in Chicago]

corky with some cat like quickness on the bunt attempt:beerme:

[WVRedsFan]

corky with some cat like quickness on the bunt attempt:beerme:

Fat Cat? :)

[PuffyPig]

Can't really bring Hannigan back until you either send Miller down or put Hernadez in the DL.

I assume there is some reasonable thought that Hernandez can play shortly.

Not much else we can do.

[BCubb2003]

For tonight, Janish is the emergency catcher. Ummm...Corky's playing, doesn't that automatically constitute an emergency? :O)

Corky is Defcon 3, Janish is Defcon 2.

[Blitz Dorsey]

I assume there is some reasonable thought that Hernandez can play shortly.

Not much else we can do.

Right, I think everyone believes when Hanigan comes up, Corky will be sent down. (Unless Hernandez is still hurt, but it sounds like the injury is not serious and he will start tomorrow night.)

[Blitz Dorsey]

Wheeww, I thought that landed fair for second.

Not even all that close though.

[Blitz Dorsey]

That's it, bench Stubbs.

;-)

[RedsManRick]

Stubbs has flubbed a few balls like that the last week or so. Kid needs to get his head in the game.

[Blitz Dorsey]

T-Wood is just a good 'ol redneck baseball player. And I mean that as a compliment.

[RedsMan3203]

Balk on Wood... Bench Him ;)

No harm... Inning over.

[WVRedsFan]

Wood has 76 pitches through 4, but is pitching really well. I imagine he'll only go 5.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Yeah, have to think the next inning is Travis' last no matter what happens.

[Homer Bailey]

It's not like Stubbs was lazy on that ball. He was on a full sprint from left center, and caught the ball on an in between hop. It's not like he lifted his head up or anything. It just squirted by him. Honest physical mistake. Didn't see anything mental about it.

Yeah, he wasn't loafing. Kind of a tough in-between hop really.

[reds44]

Volquez with no command in the minors, only 5 innings at once. I fear the worst for him coming back this year. You just can't count on him IMHO.
Holy crap it was one start. His command had been great before last night.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Wow, Phillips almost picked off after getting a single.

[BCubb2003]

Looks like Pelfrey's hittable and his pitch count is rising.

[HeatherC1212]

I want to see Joey hit a HR into the apple again but with guys on base this time. :p:

[Blitz Dorsey]

I want to see Joey hit a HR into the apple again but with guys on base this time. :p:

I'll take that.

[oneupper]

MLB.tv back but the Mets feed. (Keith Hernandez..ugh).

[Blitz Dorsey]

MLB.tv back but the Mets feed. (Keith Hernandez..ugh).

Has he told anyone yet "I'm Keith Hernandez"???

[HeatherC1212]

Nice job boys! Now, hit one about a mile Joey.....:D

[Blitz Dorsey]

Right guy to have up in this situation!

[Homer Bailey]

That is what we are referring to when we say "professional hitter".

[BCubb2003]

Has he told anyone yet "I'm Keith Hernandez"???

He sounds like the guy on "Burn Notice."

[TRF]

domo domo....

[Blitz Dorsey]

Nice, I'll take a walk there.

[HeatherC1212]

Or Joey could just take the walk :laugh:

[WVRedsFan]

Get a hit here, Scotty.

Sacks loaded and Rolen up with 0 outs

[Homer Bailey]

No Reds team I've ever seen has shown the ability to put together consecutive good at bats like this years Reds team.

[HeatherC1212]

Those planes are REALLY loud around that stadium. :eek:

[RedsMan3203]

No Reds team I've ever seen has shown the ability to put together consecutive good at bats like this years Reds team.

Senior Leadership... Reds haven't had it in the past... Rolen, OC, Cario, Rhodes and CoCo... I like this team...

[Blitz Dorsey]

Well, that sux.

[HeatherC1212]

It hit him on the arm. How did they miss that?

[Playadlc]

Get it right, guys.

[RedsManRick]

Replay and this would have been settled already.

[redsfaninbsg]

I'm shocked that call was over turned. The entire Mets team is going nuts now.

[HeatherC1212]

No matter what happens here, I love Scott Rolen for not losing his temper. Wow, the NY fans are going nuts! If they saw the replay they wouldn't be arguing, LOL :laugh:

[RedsManRick]

Wow. This could get ugly. Again, replay would alleviate this situation.

[redsfaninbsg]

Replay is needed, this has gotten out of hand.

[HeatherC1212]

Jerry Manual gave it a good battle out there. Those fans are almost as loud as the planes, LOL :laugh:

[RedsMan3203]

Wow. This could get ugly.

I was thinking the Manager, Catcher and Pitcher was all gonna get tossed by the end of it...

[CTA513]

Good job by the umps to huddle up and get the call correct.

[RedsManRick]

They tried to let Manuel go, but he wouldn't. You knew he was going to get his money's worth.

[Joseph]

A case against replay here. They got together and got it right.

[oneupper]

Replay is needed, this has gotten out of hand.

They got it right without needing replay this time.

You'd have to ask if Rolen made an effort to get out of the way. He was almost swinging.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Wow, I'm surprised they reversed it.

[RedsMan3203]

Come'on Jonny!

[nate]

That was nutty.

[RedsManRick]

A case against replay here. They got together and got it right.

And it took 5 minutes and an ejected manager instead of 30 seconds. Not sure how that's a case against replay. This is the exception that proves the rule.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Jonny gets jammed again.

[TheNext44]

Not just because they got the call right, and it went the Reds way, but the umps could not have handled that better. The home plate ump never lost his cool, was never confrontational, and was willing to swollow his ego and ask for help.

That never would have happened in the past.

Well said, nice job by the home plate ump. Nice job by Rolen not losing his cool too.

[Blitz Dorsey]

C'mon Jay! Crush one here.

[HeatherC1212]

Good job by everyone in that situation. Come on Jay!!

[RedsManRick]

I wonder how much of Dusty's argument was: "This is Scott Rolen, guys. The man is integrity personified."

[TheNext44]

And it took 5 minutes and an ejected manager instead of 30 seconds. Not sure how that's a case against replay. This is the exception that proves the rule.

Agree. A very difficult call to get right in real time, but pretty easy with replay. It would have been a quick and easy call, and everyone would be satisfied. Now, the Mets feel like they got robbed, even with the replay showing the umps got it right.

[kbrake]

I wonder how much of Dusty's argument was: "This is Scott Rolen, guys. The man is integrity personified."

Thats what I have been thinking. How many players even get the umps to talk about it?

[Blitz Dorsey]

I think the umps just felt sorry for Rolen because of his sad excuse for a beard. Ha.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Terrible AB from my boy Bruce.

[HeatherC1212]

That sucks.

[Playadlc]

Good pitch by Pelfrey there.

[TheNext44]

They got it right without needing replay this time.

You'd have to ask if Rolen made an effort to get out of the way. He was almost swinging.

Good point, but that is never called, so players never worry about it. But it should be called more often.

[TheNext44]

Not feeling good about Stubbs Vs. Pelfry here.

[WVRedsFan]

Hat trick Bruce?

[Blitz Dorsey]

Great job D Stubbs!!!

4-1 Good Guys.

[Tom Servo]

UNCLE

[Homer Bailey]

Studds :-)

[Degenerate39]

My boy Stubbs!

[HeatherC1212]

Nice job Drew!!! :D

[WVRedsFan]

Stubbs comes through, UNCLE!

[HotCorner]

Studds :-)

LOL :D

[RedsMan3203]

Stubby!

[TheNext44]

Clearly, I'm not psychic. :)

[CTA513]

Stubbs now up to 43 RBIs on the season

[HeatherC1212]

Drew Stubbs has more RBIs than Jason Bay???!! WOW. :eek:

[RedsMan3203]

43 RBI's for the season...

[Blitz Dorsey]

I love it. Stubbs has more RBIs than Jason "$18 million a year" Bay.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Corky with a HUGE double!!!

6-1 Good Guys.

[Playadlc]

CORKY! BOom!

[Tom Servo]

The Corkster!

[RedsMan3203]

They just got Corkied....

[TheNext44]

Corky was shocked he actually got a hit.

[HeatherC1212]

Way to go Corky!!! :D

[Blitz Dorsey]

OK, I don't miss Hanigan so much all of a sudden. ;-)

[RedsManRick]

Stubbs batting 7th: .289/.345/.480

The guys keep talking about RBI. Just once can they mention that it's because the guys ahead of 'em are getting on base?

[BCubb2003]

Corkmeister makes us all look foolish.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Wood is going to be in line for his first win if he can take care of business in the bottom half.

[Tom Servo]

Vote Corky

[Blitz Dorsey]

Wood is going to be in line for the win if he takes care of business in the bottom half.

[WVRedsFan]

Lucky Corky. I'll take it

[RedsMan3203]

Oh... T Wood.... Thats funny

[Blitz Dorsey]

Wood with a triple. HAHA.

[Tom Servo]

the Woodster!

[HeatherC1212]

Wood with the RBI TRIPLE!!!! :D

[Playadlc]

This team can flat put up some monstrous innings.

[CTA513]

Drew Stubbs has more RBIs than Jason Bay???!! WOW. :eek:

He also has more than Fielder who only has 36 RBIs to go with his 18 HRs.

[TheNext44]

CORKY!

http://www.mygtv.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/corky.jpg

[WVRedsFan]

Wood triples! Great Caesar's Ghost. Just wonderful.

[kaldaniels]

Lucky Corky. I'll take it

:thumbdown

Give credit where it is due.

[Playadlc]

How big was that reversal call now? Wow.

[Blitz Dorsey]

T-Wood is going to be in line for his first career win if he can take care of business in the bottom half.

[RedsManRick]

Wood can motor. He and Leake are some real athletes.

[TheNext44]

Okay, who had Wood not only outlasting Pelfry, but knocking him out personally as well?

[Blitz Dorsey]

How big was that reversal call now? Wow.

Seriously. Extremely huge.

[WVRedsFan]

:thumbdown

Give credit where it is due.

Just joking. Any ball hit that close to the line is not intentional, though. Like I said, I'll take it along with Wood's triple. Unfortunately, the game does depend on luck at times.

[RedsMan3203]

How big was that reversal call now? Wow.

Not Very, its just 1 run.... Reds just needed to get to 2 outs.

[oneupper]

I was wondering when I saw the Mets pitcher. When did Mike Pelfrey get good?

[Blitz Dorsey]

This just in ... baseball depends on luck sometimes. Thanks for that! Never knew.

[WVRedsFan]

Most runs allowed by Lilly yesterday and the most allowed by Pelphry. Reds are blasting the best pitchers latelhy.

[kbrake]

Not Very, its just 1 run.... Reds just needed to get to 2 outs.

Yeah if anything that call just delayed the rally.

[WVRedsFan]

This just in ... baseball depends on luck sometimes. Thanks for that! Never knew.

Nah. I was just told it was Corky's skill that placed that ball a inch inside the line.

[BCubb2003]

Just the residue of design.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Nah. I was just told it was Corky's skill that placed that ball a inch inside the line.

Ha, just breakin' balls. (Kind of like the Reds' offense this year.)

[oneupper]

Mets announcers are complaining about a call on the Stubbs AB. Don't recall that.

[PuffyPig]

Most runs allowed by Lilly yesterday and the most allowed by Pelphry. Reds are blasting the best pitchers latelhy.

And they had the most hits ever given up by Halladay.

All in a weeks work.

And Stubbs is 32nd in the NL in RBI's.

Anyone else think that to score Corky from second Wood basically needed a triple?

[WVRedsFan]

Ha, just breakin' balls. (Kind of like the Reds' offense this year.)Fer sure. I like it!

[reds44]

That was the most awesome inning ever.

Can't stop Stubbs, Corky, and Wood.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Mets announcers are complaining about a call on the Stubbs AB. Don't recall that.

The 0-1 pitch looked like a strike and Pelfrey was pizzed. Next pitch (1-1 instead of 0-2) Stubbs ripped for the 2-RBI single.

Borderline call. I thought it was strike but could have been called either way.

[BCubb2003]

Mets announcers are complaining about a call on the Stubbs AB. Don't recall that.

A pitch just low and just outside was called a ball, and didn't help Pelfrey's mood any.

[Redsfan320]

Wow. Why are all the games I miss the good ones?? I can do PBP now.

320

I thought it was a strike too but Pelfrey handled that like Zambrano.

[oneupper]

320

If that's true. Go away.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Wow. Why are all the games I miss the good ones?? I can do PBP now.

320

You must have missed about 40-some games so far this year. ;-)

[Blitz Dorsey]

I thought it was a strike too but Pelfrey handled that like Zambrano.

Ha! All that was missing was a bunch of cussing in Spanish. And perhaps punching a teammate in the face.

[HeatherC1212]

I wonder how that poster here who gave me a hard time about the Reds not beating up on enough 'great' pitchers this season is feeling right now and I really wish I could remember that poster's name, LOL :laugh:

[TheNext44]

Wow. Why are all the games I miss the good ones?? I can do PBP now.

320

You're 14. Trust me. They'll be more. ;)

[Blitz Dorsey]

Pagan with a HR for the Mets. 7-2.

[oneupper]

Reds320. You still here? (I was kidding, BTW)

[Degenerate39]

I think I could've homered off that pitch

[Redsfan320]

HR, RBI, R
0 out
Cora up

SCORE CHANGE: 7-2, Reds

[TheNext44]

I really hope Baker doesn't push Travis just to get him the win.

I enjoy RedsZone the most when I can't remember whom I disagree with.

[oneupper]

I really hope Baker doesn't push Travis just to get him the win.

Wood should have stopped at second.

[Redsfan320]

Tejada up actually
6-3
1 out

I enjoy RedsZone the most when I can't remember whom I disagree with.

Hehe, good point. ;) I'm just laughing about it now after these past few games of the Reds beating up on 'great' pitchers. :laugh:

[HeatherC1212]

Settle down Travis....

[Redsfan320]

Runner on 3rd
1 out

[WVRedsFan]

Wood just might be done for the night. Two balls hammered. Let's hope he can get two more, but if a third runs scores, I don'tknow.

7-3. Sigh.

[RedsManRick]

Stubbs was coasting to that too -- not much urgency to get it back in.

[HotCorner]

Stubbs was coasting to that too -- not much urgency to get it back in.

That ball was crushed and going away from Stubbs. He had no chance.

Just not in the mood for PBP tonight. Sorry. Maybe tomorrow. Later guys,

[KoryMac5]

Wood's like a car on fumes, hopefully we can coast this baby home.

[RedsManRick]

That ball was crushed and going away from Stubbs. He had no chance.

Not saying he should've caught it, clearly. But once he realized he couldn't catch it, he slowed to a jog.

[KoryMac5]

Is anyone up in the pen?

[Blitz Dorsey]

Remember this next time someone says Dusty abuses young arms.

J. Smith coming in to replace Wood with 2 out and 2 on.

[TheNext44]

Gotta give Dusty credit here. Tough, tough move to make.

[HeatherC1212]

I wish Travis could have gotten that done. Hope the bullpen is ready for tonight.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Considering he has K'd Barajas twice, I wouldn't have minded to see Dusty give him one more batter. But I'll take it.

[HeatherC1212]

Come on Jordan.

[nemesis]

Went on pure guts tonight. Seemed like his ball didn't have that same crispness. Good job Wood on 40 mins notice.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Uh oh, are we seeing the "real" Jordan Smith now?

Uh oh, are we seeing the "real" Jordan Smith now?

That wasn't much of a hit.

[HeatherC1212]

No one was happier to see Wood out of the game than Barajas. :(

[Blitz Dorsey]

Awful. Smith lets the Mets right back in the game. 7-6. Yep, we are seeing the real Jordan Smith.

[HeatherC1212]

Get him out Dusty!

[oneupper]

THAT was hit.

[Redsfan320]

I take responsibility. As soon as I start listening to the game, this happens. :(:(
