Gotta wonder how much longer Brandon is out. Would be nice to have him get a few games in prior to the St Louis series. given his prior statement, I can't imagine him sitting out those games.

[medford]

Additionally, any word on Nix? He was playing so well for a brief spell prior to the injury, would be nice to have that guy back for the stretch run.

That is still a very good lineup on this team.

Randy Wolf. Reds killer. Let's hope Bailey is on his game and the Reds are patient tonite against Wolf. Wolf just dominated the Cardinals a few weeks back.

I love Bruce in the leadoff spot, something I've been calling for for awhile.

[oneupper]

I love Bruce in the leadoff spot, something I've been calling for for awhile.

As a one time thing I was all for it, but not sure if this is a good idea always vs. a lefty.

Things will change when Brandon and OCab come back.

[Redsfan320]

Was hoping Dickerson would be playing. :( Maybe tomorrow or Wednesday.

I may do some PBP.

Not good that BP is still out.

[VR]

Once BP gets back....put him at leadoff and Bruce at #2. Votto hits everyone so well....the L/L back to back don't really matter.

I liked it Friday vs the LH pitchers :)

Bruce hitting leadoff against a lefty worked out great Friday night, anyway.

Altho three more homeruns from the leadoff spot is probably unfair to request...

He hit leadoff to start the year and was quite poor.

He was moved to #7 and hit much better.

He was moved to leadoff yesterday becuase of lack of options and had a great game.

You make it sound like he's been astud at #1 all year and is suddenly droppedto #7. It's where he's had his most success.

This is the Bailey we've seen the past few years. He got unlucky on the Wolf single, more unlucky on the Weeks single, and then the red mist descends and he's a liability.

Bailey looked so sharp in that first inning and is totally lost since then.

[mbgrayson]

I'm guessing no.

But I'm not giving odds.

If Fielder does steal on Homer, Dusty should just go out to the mound and kick him in the arse....

Gotta wonder if the Reds will give up on Homer at some point.

A number of the hits have been quite week. Most in fact.

While the pickoff was nice, and the hits have been of the 'seeing eye' variety, the steals have been avoidable with better attention to the runners. At some point it does feel like it gets in Homer's head....

Per Jim Day, Randy Wolf's stolen base was the first stolen base by a Brewers pitcher in their franchise history (of course, they were in the AL for a couple decades until the 1990s).

Kottaras overthrows the pitcher....Repeat after me George, Linda likes long walks on the beach, lingerie....

Oh that's what it was? I missed that, I thought Randy was taking a walk because he was mad at the call

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan doubles off the top of the wall in left.

[REDSEER]

Double for Hanigan off of the wall in left. He has stung the ball twice tonight.

[Mario-Rijo]

Hanny nearly went yard. We'll take a double. :thumbup:

[RedsMan3203]

80 pitches already tonight for Wolf, with 3 double players on the night....

[REDSEER]

80 pitches for Wolf. Good work for the Reds during the last 2 innings.

[Tornon]

Drew had me scared a couple times that at bat

[RedsMan3203]

Stubbs walks twice!?! Come'on Pauly Janish!

[Reds Fanatic]

Good AB. Stubbs walks. 1st and 2nd. 4 walks by Wolf.

[Reds Fanatic]

Janish flies out to center on the first pitch. 1st and 3rd.

[WVRedsFan]

NO GROUND BALLS, Uh. Impatience rears its ugly head. Why Paul, why?

[Mario-Rijo]

Just can't take advantage of our good fortunes.

[REDSEER]

Let's go Homer....help yourself

[Tornon]

Wasn't Homer in Paul's wedding? He's got his back here

[WVRedsFan]

Apparently another lost inning.

[Homer Bailey]

Why? Because he got a great pitch to hit and the pitcher is hitting behind you, and it was without a doubt the best pitch he would see for the entire at bat.

[reds44]

Wow Janish's OPS is all the way down to .736.

[Tornon]

Apparently another lost inning.

No it's not, we got a run! :)

[reds44]

What are we doing on the bases?

[WVRedsFan]

Difference in philosophy. The guy is having trouble throwing strikes. Impatience was the thing to do in that situation. Not everything our players do is right. In this case, it killed an inning--or not. And Stubbs has another brain fart. Good grief are we killing ourselves.

[REDSEER]

Wow....and with Bruce coming up as well

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey singles to right. Stubbs thrown out at 3rd without even a slide. 3-2 Brewers. Reds are giving this game away on the bases.

[RedsMan3203]

Base running is killin the Reds tonight...

Somebody better step up

[Kc61]

Stubbs needs to slide there, but I think he would have been out anyway.

[Tornon]

Through 4 innings, we've only had 8 batters make outs

[Homer Bailey]

Wth just happened? Did Berry not signal for him to slide?

[dsmith421]

That just defies explanation. What is the 3rd base coach doing?
