Haven't started one of these in a while, so might as well.

Stubbs 8
Phillips 4
Votto 3
Rolen 5
Bruce 9
Gomes 7
Renteria 6
Hanigan 2
Arroyo 1

Schafer 8
Prado 7
Jones 5
McCann 2
Hinske 9
Uggla 4
Freeman 3
Gonzalez 6
Lowe 1

No TV for me, my local FOX guys have Phillies and Mets :(

[cumberlandreds]

Same for me UP. I get Mets/Phils.

[Edd Roush]

What does Fred Lewis have to do to start back-to-back days?

[JaxRed]

I guess I'm in Braves country.... Reds/Braves here :)

[WebScorpion]

I get the Royals vs Rangers, but I'm watching Wilkes-Barre play Louisville on MiLB.TV instead anyway. Volquez looks the same, but he gets away with a lot more because these Yankee prospects are free swingers. Alonso knocked in a couple to support him and they're ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the third.

[Red in Chicago]

cards / rox for me...sigh...

[CrackerJack]

N/M - on FOX now.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs singles to left.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips lines out to left. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs steals 2nd. His 16th steal of the year.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto walks. 1st and 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wild pitch moves the runners to 2nd and 3rd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen walks. Bases loaded for Bruce.

[WebScorpion]

Bases juiced for Jay Bruce. Hope he can keep his hot streak going here. :pray:

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds into a 6-3 DP. 0-0 mid 1st.

[smith288]

Jay keeps trying to pull that low and away ball and it got us real good right there. Getting started on stranded baserunners early this game.

[Reds Fanatic]

Schafer grounds out to short

[Reds Fanatic]

Prado flies out to right. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jones walks

[Reds Fanatic]

McCann singles to right center. 1st and 3rd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hinske singles to right. 1-0 Braves. 1st and 3rd.

[kbrake]

Frustrating first inning.

[Reds Fanatic]

Uggla fouls out to 3rd. 1-0 Braves after 1.

[forfreelin04]

Left handed hitters > Arroyo

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomes flies out to center. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Renteria flies out to center. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan grounds out to short. 1-0 Braves mid 2nd.

[jojo]

We're watching two of the three (depending upon what position Arod goes in as), HOF third baseman of this generation....

[WebScorpion]

Is playing Gomes against Derek Lowe designed to help Jonny get his confidence back? :confused: :dunno: :alcohol:

[Reds Fanatic]

Freeman doubles to the wall in right.

[jojo]

Oh and just in case anyone is wondering, Arroyo isn't "right".

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez singles to right. 1st and 3rd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lowe sacrifices the runner to 2nd. 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.

[jojo]

Is playing Gomes against Derek Lowe designed to help Jonny get his confidence back? :confused: :dunno: :alcohol:

Gomes hasnt hit a ball hard in like six weeks....

[Reds Fanatic]

Schafer bunt single. 2-0 Braves. 1st and 3rd

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Man this is frustrating. How are these starters so bad?

[WebScorpion]

Schafer bunt single. 2-0 Braves.That's the bunt Stubbs needs to learn...1st base side, just past the pitcher. It would be nice to lay down one of those when he's scuffling like he is now.

[jojo]

Gorgeous bunt by Schafer.... Hats off because it was into the teeth of two gold glovers but was impossible to defend

[kbrake]

Well when Arroyo heads to the DL is Volquez the only option left at this point?

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan throws Schafer out attempting to steal at 2nd.

[jojo]

The Reds will be fortunate if Arroyo limits the Braves to five.... I don't get the steal attempt by Schafer BTW...

[WebScorpion]

Don't run on Hernanigan.

[Reds Fanatic]

Prado lines a single to center. 3-0 Braves.

[Reds Fanatic]

Opponents are now hitting .331 against Arroyo this month

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Well when Arroyo heads to the DL is Volquez the only option left at this point?

He has the most legitimate case for the DL of all of them. He isn't this bad. Getting lit by the phils is one thing, getting pounded by the Braves is something else.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jones flies out to center. 3-0 Braves after 2.

[757690]

Oh and just in case anyone is wondering, Arroyo isn't "right".

I'm hoping it's just mono, but he hasn't looked this hittable in years.

[757690]

I will say that listening to the game on WLW at home brings back memories of my childhood. @warmandfuzzy

[jojo]

Arroyo is sweating more than a plump dog in a Chinese restaurant tonight....it's hot but not that hot....

[Reds Fanatic]

Arroyo strikes out looking.

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit for Stubbs. His 2nd hit tonight.

[jojo]

HOF......

[Reds Fanatic]

Colorado up 6-0 on the Cards in the 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs is running as Phillips grounds out to short. Runner on 2nd with 2 outs.

[jojo]

FWIW, Thom again just said Phillips started the hostility with the Cards last year with his rhetoric....Thom has also said in the past that Phillips started the brawl with the extra tapping....

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto walks again. 1st and 2nd

[kbrake]

FWIW, Thom again just said Phillips started the hostility with the Cards last year with his rhetoric....Thom has also said in the past that Phillips started the brawl with the extra tapping....

So there is the potential that 50% of the people posting here could be Thom...

[WebScorpion]

Meanwhile Volquez is still pitching in the 7th at Louisville. @85 pitches. He's struck out 5, given up 1 run, walked 2, hit a batter, and had 1 wild pitch. Typical Volquie...AAA hitters get themselves out a lot. :rolleyes:

[Reds Fanatic]

4 pitch walk to Rolen. Bases again loaded for Bruce.

[jojo]

So there is the potential that 50% of the people posting here could be Thom...

I just found it odd that Thom would bring that up again to a national audience.

[kbrake]

I just found it odd that Thom would bring that up again to a national audience.

Yeah I know what you're saying. I've got it on mute so I appreciate you pointing it out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds out to 1st. 3-0 Braves mid 3rd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds left 14 runners on last night and have already left 5 on tonight.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Six LOB in 3 innings. Something has to change. Completely unacceptable. I don't care what numbers you show me regarding this offense. It's beyond dysfunctional.

[jojo]

Brucezilla circling Tokyo but hasn't started smashing buildings yet...

[CTA513]

6 LOB for Bruce after just 2 at bats.

[Reds Fanatic]

McCann homers to right. 4-0 Braves.

[jojo]

Dusty....get some one up in the pen....this is still a game.

[CTA513]

So how many innings is Horst good for?

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

God this team is annoying. Fail miserably at the plate in the top of the inning then arroyo serves up a first-pitch bomb. Pathetic.

[oneupper]

They're going to make Bruce return the POTM award he hasn't won yet

[bellhead]

They are teeing off on Bronson tongiht

[jojo]

Yikes on those fly outs.... The brew crew won today BTW...

[Reds Fanatic]

Hinske flies out to the track in right. Bronson is throwing batting practice tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Uggla flies out to center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Freeman homers to right. 5-0 Braves.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Arroyo again throws batting practice

[CrackerJack]

Two joke starts in a row for Arroyo - DL him or do something, this is ridiculous.

[Reds Fanatic]

I know Arroyo takes great pride in the fact he has never missed a start but something is really wrong with him. The team may need to DL him whether he likes it or not

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez singles to center. Is anyone even warming up

[jojo]

It's looking dark or the Reds.....just no time to regroup for a gimpy staff...

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Rather have volquez out there. At least he has the stuff to get people out ... Arroyo doesn't (right now)

[WebScorpion]

Maybe he can get the pitcher out....

[bellhead]

Something is wrong with him, Tom said he hasn't touched 86 with his fastball yet and had an epideral mid week.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lowe grounds out to short. 5-0 Braves after 3.

[WebScorpion]

Rather have volquez out there. At least he has the stuff to get people out ... Arroyo doesn'tVolquez is still pitching in Louisville in the 8th....96 pitches and counting. (1 run)

[reds44]

Volquez is going to be up Bailey.

You're running out of bodies.

[jojo]

Hudson lives in a castle BTW....

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomes singles to left

[oneupper]

Gomes singles to left

Are you sure about this?

[CTA513]

Gomes singles to left

Lowe might want to retire now

[jojo]

Gomes singles to left

WOOHOO!!!!

[WebScorpion]

Volquez' 106th pitch was deposited over the right field wall, they're tied now 2-2.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Lowe can't throw strikes, has walked half the team and has given up a handful of hits. So, of course, he's tossing a shutout.

[Reds Fanatic]

Renteria walks. 1st and 2nd. Another good scoring chance.

[Reds Fanatic]

Already 5 walks given up by Lowe

[jojo]

Lowe can't throw strikes, has walked half the team and has given up a handful of hits. So, of course, he's tossing a shutout.

If the reds lose, Arroyo will get blamed but the offense is missing chance after chance.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan strikes out swinging.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cairo hitting for Arroyo

[jojo]

Cairo pinch-hitting for Arroyo.

[Reds Fanatic]

The ugly pitching line for Arroyo tonight: 3IP, 9H, 5ER, 1BB, 0K.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cairo singles to center. Bases loaded for Stubbs

[jojo]

Finally.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs doubles to the wall in right center! 5-3 Braves.

[oneupper]

Looks like Stubbs didn't need the night off.

[757690]

If the reds lose, Arroyo will get blamed but the offense is missing chance after chance.

So far, it's only been Bruce.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs with a big night now 3 for 3 with 3RBI and a stolen base.

[757690]

And it's a game again.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips doubles down the line in left. 5-4 Braves.

[CrackerJack]

Nice BP - 5-4 with Votto up, 1 out and BP on 2nd

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto lines a single to left center. Tie game 5-5!

[757690]

Nice BP - 5-4 with Votto up, 1 out and BP on 2nd

They haven't pitched to him yet, can't imagine them starting now.

Nevermind. Lol

[CTA513]

Lowe auditioning for the Reds

[Reds Fanatic]

That is it for Lowe.

[CrackerJack]

They haven't pitched to him yet, can't imagine them starting now.

Nevermind. Lol

Yep, bad choice. ;)

[757690]

Cue Marty with an endless rant about Phillips missing the sign at third.

[CrackerJack]

Cue Marty with an endless rant about Phillips missing the sign at third.

He was fooled by A-Gon acting like he caught it, was kind of funny.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cristhian Martinez in to pitch

[757690]

Whose warming up for the Reds?

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen flies out to right. 2 outs.

[jojo]

Maybe Arroyo gave Lowe mono before the game?

[757690]

Maybe Arroyo gave Lowe mono before the game?

Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce hit it hard it goes off Freeman but Uggla picks it up and throws him out. 3-4-3 on the play. Tie game 5-5 mid 4th.

[Red in Chicago]

Cards now down by 12:beerme:

[jojo]

Weird game....almost has a boring vibe despite a five to five score after only three and a half....

[Reds Fanatic]

Horst in to pitch

[757690]

Let's get Jeremy his first MLB win!

[Reds Fanatic]

Weird game....almost has a boring vibe despite a five to five score after only three and a half....

It is probably because it is moving so slow. We are at an hour and a half in the fourth inning.

[jojo]

Cards now down by 12:beerme:

In case anyone is wondering...it's Garcia, not Carpenter...

[Reds Fanatic]

Schafer strikes out looking.

[757690]

Cards now down by 12:beerme:

Garcia's ERA went up by nearly two runs today. Lol

[Reds Fanatic]

Prado pops out to 2nd.

[CTA513]

Cards now down by 12:beerme:

LaRussa and Garcia trying to kill my fantasy baseball team.

:thumbdown:

[757690]

Schafer strikes out looking.

Congratulations on your first batter, first out, and first strikeout Mr. Horst. :beerme:

[Reds Fanatic]

What a debut for Horst. Jones strikes out looking. 5-5 after 4.

[757690]

Franklin in to pitch for the Cardinals. What was the most amount of runs a team ever gave up in one game? lol

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomes doubles off the wall in left.

[kbrake]

Gomes with another hit. Maybe all that end of the world stuff was just off by a week.

[Reds Fanatic]

It sounds like the Cards game was such a blowout they switched some people getting that game to this game.

[jojo]

Gomes doubles off the wall in left.

Do ya think he started taking 'roids?

[757690]

Do ya think he started taking 'roids?

Gomes is high on life. :)

[Reds Fanatic]

Renteria lines a ball off the pitcher's glove. Jones picks it up and throws him out. Runner on 2nd with 1 out.

[757690]

Just bad luck there.

[Reds Fanatic]

I guess Gomes did not advance on that ball. I can't believe he could not get to 3rd on that.

[BCubb2003]

Gomes has been working with Dusty this week, hasn't he?

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan strikes out looking.

[jojo]

Gomes is high on life. :)

Maybe he's just a little woozy from breathing the fumes from all that shoe polish he put on his batting helmet?

[757690]

Horst with a chance to get himself his first MLB win with his bat.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow. Horst singles to right. 6-5 Reds!

[jojo]

Horst or Mr Hobbs?

[hebroncougar]

Have a DAY! Mr. Horst

[jojo]

Nike needs to make an air Horst....

[Reds Fanatic]

Horst only had one hit in his minor league career. He already has equaled that in the majors.

[757690]

"Major league baseball is easy", says Jeremy. :)

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs flies out to center. 6-5 Reds mid 5th.

[Reds Fanatic]

[jojo]

Horst has huge platoon splits in the majors....

[Reds Fanatic]

Hinske strikes out swinging. 3 Ks for Horst.

[Reds Fanatic]

Uggla flies out to left. 2 outs.

[CTA513]

So far Horst is at least throwing strikes which is good to see from someone making a debut.

[jojo]

Gomes makes a dazzling catch on Uggla's blast...... Oh....Thom isn't doing that anymore since the slump...

[Reds Fanatic]

Freeman strikes out swinging. 4 Ks for Horst. 6-6 after 5.

[jojo]

So far Horst is at least throwing strikes which is good to see from someone making a debut.

He's been ahead of just about everybody.

Phillips grounds out to the catcher.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto grounds out to 1st. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen grounds out to the pitcher. 6-6 mid 6th.

[oneupper]

REDS only score when Gomes leads off the inning.

[jojo]

REDS only score when Gomes leads off the inning.

Dusty should bat him lead off. He'll have to move to center or short but Gomes is a team guy....

[jojo]

A Horst is a Horst of course except when that Horst is a Red.....

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice over the shoulder catch by Renteria.

[CTA513]

Nice play by Renteria to take away a single from Gonzalez

[Reds Fanatic]

Wilkin Ramirez pinch hitting

[Reds Fanatic]

Ramirez lines a double to left.

[jojo]

Renturia tastes vengeance and slurps it down like a hungry young John Candy hearing the jingle of his first ice-cream truck...

[SirFelixCat]

Thanks everyone for the pbp, seeing as we are in Denver and they'll never switch off the Rockies whoopin' the Cards...although, if I can't watch the Reds, it's a solid consolation prize :)


Sucks that next Saturday the Reds game will be blacked out too, though :(

[Reds Fanatic]

That pitch was close.

[Reds Fanatic]

Schafer flies out to center. Runner goes to 3rd. 2 outs.

[757690]

Wow. Gomes with his 3rd hit tonight.

Lewis pinch hitting

[Reds Fanatic]

Lewis hit it hard but Scafer robs Lewis on the warning track. 6-6 mid 7th.

[CTA513]

I wish McClouth was healthy and playing CF for the Braves

[RedsManRick]

I wish McClouth was healthy and playing CF for the Braves

No kidding. With as shallow as he plays, he would've had no chance on that.

[757690]

I am not feeling good about this game. Too much bad luck.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

I'm getting beyond tired of the other team making great plays, highlight reel catches and Merry Christmas catches against the Reds.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bray in to pitch

[jojo]

Bray makes Chipper a righty....

[Reds Fanatic]

Jones strikes out swinging.

[Reds Fanatic]

McCann singles off the glove of Phillips then he rounds first too far and Bruce nails him going back to 1st.

[jojo]

McCann got greedy and the arm of the law shut him down...

[757690]

Bruce prays every runner tries that on a single to right.

[Reds Fanatic]

That was a nice play by Votto to field that throw from Bruce on a short hop.

Hinske grounds out to short. 6-6 after 7.

[CTA513]

Not a smart decision by McCann.
Its like Juan Pierre is in RF for the Reds.

[CTA513]

Prado with a good job cutting the ball off in the gap and Rolen thrown out at 2nd to end the Reds half of the inning.

[jojo]

Rolen gambled a littlevtoo recklessly trying to stretch that single...

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen was arguing with Bucknor on that call. I went back and looked and I can't tell if he was tagged or not.

[jojo]

It's seems impossible that the Reds were once down by 5......it feels like they're the better team tonight....

[Reds Fanatic]

Masset in to pitch.

Uggla flies out to center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Freeman singles to right center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bucknor is a joke of am umpire. That runner looked out at 2nd.

[hebroncougar]

CB Buckner being.............CB Buckner.

[jojo]

Bucknor is a joke of am umpire. That runner looked out at 2nd.

Brandon could've made a better tag but ya it was a missed call.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez strikes out swinging. 2 outs.

[jojo]

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce strikes out swinging. 1 out.

[jojo]

I'm not in the mood for extra innings tonight....

[Reds Fanatic]

Gomes with an infield hit. His 4th hit tonight.

[jojo]
