[Puffy]

I love Dusty but not a fan of Janish ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever batting second.

Did I mention "ever?"

[JaxRed]

I was holding my breath till I saw the words "Lewis"

[kaldaniels]

He hasn't been up long but Lewis looks like a real big leaguer so far.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I haven't been able to find it anywhere, is the game televised anywhere outside the Cincy market?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Jonny may be trying anything to break his major slump. Mohawk....GONE.

[Reds Fanatic]

I haven't been able to find it anywhere, is the game televised anywhere outside the Cincy market?

No I don't think so because TBS is covering the Phillies - Braves game for their game of the week

[_Sir_Charles_]

No I don't think so because TBS is covering the Phillies - Braves game for their game of the week

Oh well. Thanks anyway RF.

[Reds Fanatic]

Game has started. A light rain is falling at the park

[_Sir_Charles_]

And this game is underway.

[CTA513]

Jonny may be trying anything to break his major slump. Mohawk....GONE.

http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/2011/05/15/gomes-shaves-head/

slump or no slump that thing should have been cut a while ago.

[Reds Fanatic]

Theriot grounds out to Wood.

[Reds Fanatic]

Punto flies out to center. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pujols flies out to center. 0-0 mid 1st.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Good start Travis. 1-2-3. Now let's get him some working room boys! And spanking Priss is just a bonus. :O)

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs strikes out looking. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Janish flies out to center. 2 outs.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Joey's a bit due for a dinger, isn't he. Been sitting at 5 for quite some time now.

~edit~ April 27th his last one. Yep, he's due and today seems like a good day for one.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto lines a single to left center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips flies out to right. 0-0 after 1.

[reds44]

Carpenter was complaining already!

[kbrake]

Carpenter was complaining already!

Really? What now?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Really? What now?

The balls weren't rubbed up with the right mud.

WAIT! That's not mud! :p

[RBA]

Carpenter was complaining already!


Yeah, I just tuned in and Carpenter was yelling at someone before fade to commercial.

[Red in Chicago]

Yeah, I just tuned in and Carpenter was yelling at someone before fade to commercial.

the booth not mentioning anything about it

[Reds Fanatic]

Holliday flies out to right. 1 out.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Foul ball right to Marty. Nice catch. :O)

[Tornon]

Carp may have been mad about Theriot's positioning on Votto's line drive

[_Sir_Charles_]

Berkman...gone. 1-0 Cards.

You kinda figured he'd start sometime. Kinda hard to hold that guy down for long.

[Reds Fanatic]

Berkman homers to left center. 1-0 Cards.

[Red in Chicago]

really, right handed berk goes yard....

[_Sir_Charles_]

Crap. Molina goes yard too. Back to back. 2-0

[Reds Fanatic]

Ugh. Molina homers to right.

[WebScorpion]

Berkman fouls one straight back and apparently Marty catches it on one hop.

Then Berkman goes yard. Cards lead 1-0

next Molina goes yard. 2-0

Looks like the bad Wood today. :(

[Reds Fanatic]

Greene doubles to left.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Not getting better. Double past Lewis.

[reds44]

Travis Wood is not good at baseball.

I think it's time call Dontrelle up.

[CTA513]

Travis Wood is not good at baseball.

I think it's time call Dontrelle up.

pass

[kaldaniels]

Travis Wood is not good at baseball.

Are you sure you don't want to amend that? I'll give you a chance.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jay walks. 1st and 2nd

[reds44]

Are you sure you don't want to amend that? I'll give you a chance.
Travis Wood is not good at baseball right now*

[_Sir_Charles_]

Travis Wood is not good at baseball.

I think it's time call Dontrelle up.

Is Travis your new target now that Mike's gone?

[JaxRed]

Lewis didn't exactly flash the leather on that one.

[reds44]

Is Travis your new target now that Mike's gone?
My targets are pitchers who can't get people out.

[_Sir_Charles_]

You seem to miss the target on Edinson.

[kaldaniels]

Travis Wood is not good at baseball.

Fair enough. So it has been written.

[TheNext44]

Travis Wood is not good at baseball.

I think it's time call Dontrelle up.

He's plenty good at baseball, but just over-rated on this board.

He's a flyball pitcher in a homer friendly park. He's going to have days like these.

[Reds Fanatic]

Carpenter grounds out to 2nd. Runners advance to 2nd and 3rd. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Theriot grounds out to short. 2-0 Cards mid 2nd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ugly inning, but at least it's only 2. Definitely could've been worse.

[WebScorpion]

Ugly inning, but at least it's only 2. Definitely could've been worse.
Thank God for the Cardinals bullpen...hopefully, we can get into them early. Let's make Carp work. :clap:

[Screwball]

Yeah, I just tuned in and Carpenter was yelling at someone before fade to commercial.

Probly at the clouds for raining on him.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds out to 1st on a nice play by Pujols.

[CTA513]

Cubs and Giants tried to play with it raining every inning yesterday and made 5 errors combined in the 5 or so innings I watched.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen flies out to right. 2 outs.

[WebScorpion]

Cubs and Giants tried to play with it raining every inning yesterday and made 5 errors combined in the 5 or so innings I watched.
They called it after 6.5 innings, Cubs lost 3-0.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lewis strikes out swinging. 2-0 Cards after 2.

[Screwball]

Wow, Carp just made Lewis look silly.

[WebScorpion]

Wow, Carp just made Lewis look silly.10-pitch inning...we won't see much of the bullpen that way. If Carp is ahead, they'll let him go 110-120 pitches. :(

[Reds Fanatic]

Punto attempts a bunt and a Wood throws him out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pujols pops out to short. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Talk about a weak bat Punto broke his bat on a bunt attempt.

[CTA513]

Puntos bat was either already broken or he needs to get better bats.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Rolen to knock down Holliday's line drive and throw him out. 2-0 Cards mid 3rd.

[Screwball]

Holliday always seems to be lunging and off balance, yet still hits rockets everywhere. Fortunately, that last one was right at Rolen.

[reds44]

That bat had to already have been broken. I've never seen that before.

[cincyinco]

Brantley just said Punto gets different wood than Pujols.. context.. context..

[_Sir_Charles_]

Solid bounce back inning there from Travis. I think he may have just got shaken up a bit by the back to back'ers. He always LOOKS cool and collected...but I bet he wasn't.

[Screwball]

Brantley just said Punto gets different wood than Pujols.. context.. context..

:D

[_Sir_Charles_]

:jump: RAMON!!!! 3 in 2 games. Good lord! Somebody has been eating his wheaties!

[Reds Fanatic]

Hernandez is on fire. His 3rd homer in the last 2 days. 2-1 Cards.

[reds44]

Ramon!

[WebScorpion]

The Razor strikes again! :thumbup: :clap:

[Screwball]

Hanigan got hurt at the right time.

[reds44]

Ramon is getting himself paid right now.

[mth123]

Ramon is on fire. Player of the week?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Smoke from fireworks cause slight delay. Carpenter kills seven. News at 11.

[Tornon]

I bet all the smoke everywhere is making Carpenter unhappy

[reds44]

CARPENTER IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SMOKE!!!

You have to be kidding me!

[Reds Fanatic]

Wood grounds out to 3rd. 1 out.

[_Sir_Charles_]

WHEELS! Single off Greene's glove.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs reaches as the ball takes a bad hop at 2nd.

[WebScorpion]

I think Greene lost that one in the smoke. :laugh:

[Reds Fanatic]

Janish fouls out to 1st. 2 outs.

[mth123]

I love having Janish in the 2 hole.

[reds44]

We need a SS.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bad time for that ankle injury for Janish. He was rolling when it happened...and now he's in a free fall.

[BCubb2003]

I'd donate for a statue of Ramon Hernandez in front of GABP.

[mth123]

Bad time for that ankle injury for Janish. He was rolling when it happened...and now he's in a free fall.

His track record says it ain't the ankle.

[_Sir_Charles_]

His track record says it ain't the ankle.

That wasn't my point, but whatever.

Just prior to the injury he'd been 10 for his last 27 with 5 doubles (.370). 0 for 10 since. It always stinks when a hot player gets hurt...regardless of who.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto strikes out swinging. 2-1 Cards after 3.

[CTA513]

Carpenter made Votto look like a left handed Janish.

[Screwball]

Votto strikes out swinging. 2-1 Cards after 3.

He looked pretty vulnerable to the changeup away - swung and missed at two consecutive on the K.

[WebScorpion]

Janish needs to bat in the 7 or 8 hole. I thought Dusty had that figured out last year...when will BP get his spot back? Rolen's like 5 for 9, he can protect Votto. :angry:

[Reds Fanatic]

Berkman singles to center.

[reds44]

HAHAHAAHAHA

[kbrake]

I knew I saw Marty do that but no one said anything so I thought maybe I was wrong. That is AWESOME haha.

[Reds Fanatic]

Molina strikes out swinging.

[_Sir_Charles_]

K

[_Sir_Charles_]

Yessirree! Liner to Joey...steps on first to double up Berkman.

[Reds Fanatic]

Greene pops into an unassisted DP at first as Berkman was running and is caught off the base. 2-1 Cards mid 4th.

[WebScorpion]

Joey with an unassisted DP as Greene pops right to him while Berkman was breaking for second. 3 outs.

[Screwball]

Yessirree! Liner to Joey...steps on first to double up Berkman.

If you can call it that. Wood jammed Greene like nobody's bidness.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds out to short. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce lines a single to center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice hustle. Rolen with a bloop single to center. Bruce was running all the way. The throw was wild to third and Bruce scores. Tie game 2-2.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice. Great hustle Bruce!

[CTA513]

Bruce got lucky that the ball hit him

[_Sir_Charles_]

Cards defense strikes again! Bobbled by Greene...Rolen scores. 3-2 Redlegs!

[Reds Fanatic]

Carpenter did not get over to back up 3rd in time. Maybe he will yell at himself.

Lewis grounds out to 2nd but Greene does not field it cleanly. Rolen scores. 3-2

[reds44]

I wonder if Carpenter can complain about himself not backing up.

[Screwball]

Ramon Hernandez may never make another out.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Razor with another hit! Man alive!

[Reds Fanatic]

Ramon continues to hit single to left. Now on a 9 for 15 streak.

[WebScorpion]

Apparently, the Cards defense is even worse in the rain. Note to Reds: Keep running. :thumbup:

FYI, Carp's last 2 outings he went 110 and 116 pitches respectively, so I look for him to be in around the same amount of time. He's at 54 pitches now...and counting. ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Wood strikes out swinging. 3-2 Reds after 4.

[BCubb2003]

I wonder if Carpenter can complain about himself not backing up.

Maybe his son will explain ...

[WebScorpion]

Bruce got lucky that the ball hit himThat's true, but forcing throws with a wet baseball is a good idea. ;)

[reds44]

I may have overreacted about Wood's early inning struggles lol

[Patrick Bateman]

I may have overreacted about Wood's early inning struggles lol

"reds44 is not good at posting"

:lol:

Time to call up FCB.

[BCubb2003]

I may have overreacted about Wood's early inning struggles lol

He's getting better at this baseball thing.

[reds44]

I hear he's been posting well in AAA lol

[Screwball]

I may have overreacted about Wood's early inning struggles lol

44 overreact about a young pitcher?? I don't believe it.

;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Jay singles to left.

[reds44]

44 overreact about a young pitcher?? I don't believe it.

;)
Move Bailey to the bullpen!!!!11

[Patrick Bateman]

I actually think the Dontrelle comparison to FCB is apt.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Is the rain supposed to get worse, anybody know?

[kaldaniels]

Wow the Twins are struggling.

[WebScorpion]

Wood is working too high in the zone for my tastes. He comes down from time to time, but he's up in the zone a lot. Usually you've gotta have a lot more gas to work high that often. Or if you have an established rep for working low and then suddenly adjust to work high...I'm hoping that's what he's doing.

[Reds Fanatic]

Carpenter fails to bunt the runner over and then pops out to 2nd.

[WebScorpion]

Wow the Twins are struggling.Worst record in baseball, I think.

[Reds Fanatic]

Theriot lines a single to left. 1st and 2nd.

[reds44]

Maybe I spoke too soon about speaking too soon.

[Screwball]

Wood needs a double play in the worst way.

[_Sir_Charles_]

4-6-3 DP! Yessirree!

[Reds Fanatic]

Big 4-6-3 DP. 3-2 Reds mid 5th.

[kbrake]

Maybe I spoke too soon about speaking too soon.

He's good again!!! hahaha

[WebScorpion]

Wood needs a double play in the worst way.If you try some time... You get what you nee-eed!! :beerme:

[reds44]

He's good again!!! hahaha
Hall of fame baby!!!!

Haha.

Huge DP right there.

[_Sir_Charles_]

The difference....Wood has some guys standing behind him that know what that leather thing on their hands is for . Carpenter does not.


Plus he's a jerk. But that's besides the point. :O)

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs grounds out to 2nd.

[WebScorpion]

How long has it been since Stubby went deep? I think he's due his next time up.

[Red in Chicago]

sorry thom, we don't really care about your kid...kindly keep him off camera

[Reds Fanatic]

Janish grounds out to 1st. 2 outs.

[_Sir_Charles_]

How long has it been since Stubby went deep? I think he's due his next time up.

He went deep in Houston. May 11th. And then also in the Chicago series before it (8th I think).

[Screwball]

I think Janish caught whatever Gomes has.

Or is it the other way around?

[WebScorpion]

He went deep in Houston. May 11th. And then also in the Chicago series before it (8th I think).
Hmmm... maybe Joey's due instead.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto with a broken bat ground out to short. 3-2 Reds after 5.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Hmmm... maybe Joey's due instead.

Joey's well overdue. As I said earlier in this thread...April 27th was his last dinger.

[GAC]

Grillin' chicken and making dinner, so I've missed the last few innings, but it seems Wood has settled down huh?

And everybody loves Ramon!

[Gallen5862]

Thanks for the PBP.

[_Sir_Charles_]

5 active managers have won 1000 or more games, name them?


Baker, Larussa for sure...*thinking*....

Jim Leyland. Ozzie Guillen?...no, I don't think Guillen.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pujols reaches on an error by Rolen

[Red in Chicago]

grandpa scott having some trouble this weekend in the field

[kbrake]

5 active managers have won 1000 or more games, name them?


Baker, Larussa for sure...*thinking*....

Jim Leyland. Ozzie Guillen?

Charlie Manuel

[_Sir_Charles_]

No, I don't think Manuel's been around long enough.

Bochy? Maybe Scioscia?

[kaldaniels]

Have a seat Matty.

[Reds Fanatic]

Holliday strikes out looking.

[_Sir_Charles_]

KK

[_Sir_Charles_]

Okay, I'm going with LaRussa, Baker, Leyland, Scioscia & Bochy

[Reds Fanatic]

Berkman grounds into a 5-4 FC. Just missed a DP.

[GAC]

Gardenhire has to be one of them

[Screwball]

Berkman grounds into a 5-4 FC. Just missed a DP.

After watching the replay I still can't tell if he was safe or not. Very close play.

[kaldaniels]

How long has Gardenhire been around?

[JaxRed]

Definitely safe

[kaldaniels]

Gardenhire has to be one of them

Great minds think alike. :thumbup:

[reds44]

Thought he was out in live speed, looked like a good call on the replay though.

[Reds Fanatic]

Molina singles to left on a 3-0 pitch

[_Sir_Charles_]

How long has Gardenhire been around?

I'm not sure, I think he came in around the same time Guillen did. Showalter's had a bunch of gigs and it seems like forever, but he's had long layoffs in between. Francona's been around over a decade I think too...plus a winning club. I'm sticking with my five though.

[JaxRed]

Francona?

[kaldaniels]

Francona?

Still too wet behind the ears for this question.

[Red in Chicago]

oh yeah...nice k

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice pitch. Greene strikes out looking. 3-2 Reds mid 6th.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Francona?

Yeah, I'm kind of wavering on him and Scioscia.

HEY! K#3

[Screwball]

Wood painted the black on that one. Heckuva pitch.

[Playadlc]

Wood back out in the 7th?

[Tornon]

Travis Wood has more strikeouts than Edinson Volquez now

[Screwball]

Travis Wood has more strikeouts than Edinson Volquez now

Imagine how many he'd have if he was good at baseball.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Wood back out in the 7th?

I doubt it. He's over 100, they've been moderately stressful and the pen's pretty well rested. Might be a good time to debut Arredondo (chappy needs work too)

[kaldaniels]

Wood back out in the 7th?

Not according to Welsh, who says he is at the equivalent of 120 pitches....:confused:

[GAC]

LaRussa, Guillen, Gardenhire, Gaston, and Baker.

[JaxRed]

I just checked, Francona very close..... but no cigar. He'll make it this year

[Reds Fanatic]

Wood is at 103 pitches.

Carpenter is at 73 pitches

[kaldaniels]

I'd think about using our new toy in the bullpen should matchups allow.

[_Sir_Charles_]

LaRussa, Guillen, Gardenhire, Gaston, and Baker.

Gaston's not active is he?

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips reaches on an error by Pujols

[GAC]

Errors abound today by GGers.

[JaxRed]

Gaston's not active is he?

Sure.... has 1 PM tee time

[GAC]

Gaston's not active is he?

Back with the Blue Jays I thought, but I'm wrong.

Its Leyland

[_Sir_Charles_]

Sure.... has 1 PM tee time

LOL. I'm pretty sure the Jay's have new skipper this year though. Can't recall who for the life of me though.

[JaxRed]

John Farrell

[Reds Fanatic]

LOL. I'm pretty sure the Jay's have new skipper this year though. Can't recall who for the life of me though.

I had to look it up but they do have a new manager John Farrell

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce strikes out swinging. 1 out

[kaldaniels]

Gaston's early 90's Jays were fun to watch.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ondrusek is warming up

[_Sir_Charles_]

Back with the Blue Jays I thought, but I'm wrong.

Its Leyland

I just looked. Blue Jay's skipper some guy named John Farrell.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen doubles down the right field line. Berkman bobbles it sending Rolen to 3rd. 4-2 Reds!

[Screwball]

Berkman's "defense" amuses me.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Yes! Rolen with a shot down the line, Berkman is lost out there in the corner. Triple! Phillips scores! 4-2

[CTA513]

Hard to believe the Cardinals are battling for 1st with the way they play defense combined with such a crappy bullpen.

[reds44]

lol Berkman

[Reds Fanatic]

They do score it a triple rather than an error on Berkman

[kaldaniels]

I love it when the cracks begin to show.

[GAC]

So that's why they put that chalk line there! :lol:

[WebScorpion]

Wow, Rolen lines one into the right field corner and Berkman shows why he should be a DH chasing it all over in slo-mo keystone cop style. Rolen with a RBI triple!!

Reds 4-2

[_Sir_Charles_]

Yeah, I'm sticking with LaRussa, Baker, Leyland, Scioscia & Bochy

[_Sir_Charles_]

Crap! Rolen gone at the plate.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lewis grounds into a 4-2 FC. 2 outs.

[nate]

Chat is more open than the line for "Lance Berkman's Defense Clinic!"

[WebScorpion]

Ducks on the pond for the Razor this time... :D

[GAC]

I just looked. Blue Jay's skipper some guy named John Farrell.

Yeah. Didn't Gaston come back last year when the BJs were struggling? I thought he was still there.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hernandez grounds out to 3rd. 4-2 Reds after 6.

[CTA513]

They do score it a triple rather than an error on Berkman

Should have been a double and error #3 by the Cardinals.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Yeah. Didn't Gaston come back last year when the BJs were struggling? I thought he was still there.

I don't recall. I'll be honest, I don't follow the AL anywhere close compared to the NL.

[JaxRed]

I don't recall. I'll be honest, I don't follow the AL anywhere close compared to the NL.

Just looked it up. Gaston was there from 2008-2010.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Hernandez grounds out to 3rd. 4-2 Reds after 6.

Say it ain't so!?!

Heck of a run there Ramon. 6 for 6 with a walk and 3 dingers.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ondrusek in to pitch

[Kc61]

Too bad Lewis hit that ground ball. A sac fly would have given a more comfortable margin.

This is going to be a nail biter.

[_Sir_Charles_]

*puzzling*

Ondrusek in. The one guy who I thought needed a break, and Dusty brings HIM in. Odd.

[JaxRed]

Nice to get a little more cushion.

[Reds Fanatic]

Solid start by Wood today after the early trouble: 6IP, 7H, 2ER, 1BB, 3K.

[Kc61]

*puzzling*

Ondrusek in. The one guy who I thought needed a break, and Dusty brings HIM in. Odd.

Logan will get his break against the Cubs and Bucs. Dusty going for the sweep with his effective relievers.

Ondrusek, Masset, Coco, I'm sure.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jay strikes out swinging. 1 out

[_Sir_Charles_]

K. Nice job Logan.

[WebScorpion]

Is that Peter Edward up there chatting with Castellini? Yup, and he's dressed like a normal human today. :laugh:

[Screwball]

I'd like to know where Pete Rose buys his clothes.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Logan will get his break against the Cubs and Bucs. Dusty going for the sweep with his effective relievers.

Ondrusek, Masset, Coco, I'm sure.

Fair point.

[reds44]

I'd like to know where Pete Rose buys his clothes.
The same place where Cueto and Francisco shop.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice catch by Votto as Carpenter fouls out to 1st.

[JaxRed]

His hair dye spilled over to his cap.

Three nice starts in a row for Wood

[CTA513]

Cardinals bullpen blows so much that Carpenter is batting in the 7th while the Cardinals are down 4-2.

[reds44]

LaRussa, Leyland, Baker, Bochy, Scoscia.

[_Sir_Charles_]

LaRussa, Leyland, Baker, Bochy, Scoscia.

A guess, or the answer?

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Janish and Votto. 4-2 Reds mid 7th

[CTA513]

Good play by Janish and Votto to end that half of the inning.

[reds44]

Mercy!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Can't wait for the highlights. :O)

[Screwball]

Reds just showed the Cardinals how to really play defense. Janish and Votto put on a clinic.

[kaldaniels]

I give Janish grief about his bat. But taking away a hit like that is equivalent to a base hit on the offensive side for Paul in my mind. Well done.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Brewers up 6-0 on the Pirates in the 3rd. They've been starting to play some good ball again. I still think it'll be them and us battling in the second half with the Cards falling WELL out of it.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Cairo ph'ing

[WebScorpion]

I give Janish grief about his bat. But taking away a hit like that is equivalent to a base hit on the offensive side for Paul in my mind. Well done.

:thumbup: complete agreement here.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Juuuuuust a bit high.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Miggy works the walk. :clap:

[Reds Fanatic]

Cairo with a leadoff walk

[Screwball]

Another quality AB by Cairo.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Brantley just said they were teaching Chapman how to throw a football in the pen earlier today. :O)

[WebScorpion]

Cairo with a leadoff walkAt this point, that's better than a single...elevates his pitch count and demoralizes him at the same time. ;)

[reds44]

Brantley just said they were teaching Chapman how to throw a football in the pen earlier today. :O)
They showed him and Volquez doing it lol

[Reds Fanatic]

Another ball gets through Greene.
