[edabbs44]

Drew Stubbs 8

Brandon Phillips 4

Joey Votto 3

Jay Bruce 9

Scott Rolen 5

Chris Heisey 7

Ryan Hanigan 2

Paul Janish 6

Travis Wood 1


2 lefties in a row, Heisey in LF, Hanigan, Janish, Wood...this is a RZ dream lineup.

Hoping Travis gets back on track, let's go Cincy.

[Redsfan320]

Have an ACT at 8 AM tomorrow. No Reds for me tonight. :(

320

[LvJ]

Not sure how this Vogelsong guy is pitching so well, but he is suppose to suck. Tear em' up, boys.

[Hoosier Red]

Have an ACT at 8 AM tomorrow. No Reds for me tonight. :(

320

Good Luck! My mom's advice to me on test day, "Don't think about this like it's the biggest test you've had to take."

Thanks mom, always helpful.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs broken bat soft line out to 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips lines a single to right center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto flies out to the track in left.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce strikes out swinging. 0-0 mid 1st.

[kaldaniels]

I'm going into withdrawals due to the lack of Jay Bruce home runs. Feed the beast tonight Jay!

[Reds Fanatic]

Burress grounds out to Wood. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Tejada lines a double to left. His 3rd double the last 2 nights.

[CTA513]

Tejada can't hit anyone but the Reds

[Red in Chicago]

Really again with Mt doubles.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sanchez flies out to left. 2 outs.

[Red in Chicago]

Baseball uniforms should not be orange.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ross lines a single to left. Heisey bobbles it but recovers to throw Ross out at 2nd as he slid past the base. 1-0 Giants after 1.

[Red in Chicago]

And we're losing already.

[VR]

And we're losing already.

They lasted until the 2nd inning before their traditional 'fall behind early' routine.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen lines out to center. 1 out.

[paintmered]

Anyone up for some Friday edition of chat?

[VR]

They lasted until the 2nd inning before their traditional 'fall behind early' routine.

check that, I guess it was the first inning :lol:

[Reds Fanatic]

Heisey lines right at the shortstop and the ball went right through the SS. Error on Burress.

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit for Hanigan. 1st and 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Janish grounds into a 6-4-3 DP. 1-0 Giants mid 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Burrell strikes out swinging.
Huff singles to left.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rowand lines a single to right.1st and 3rd.

[Red in Chicago]

Batting practice.

[CrackerJack]

Rowand's plate routine is a bit offensive, not for kids.

Wood looks incredibly hittable...again.

[edabbs44]

Yeah, not good.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stewart pops out to 2nd. 2 outs.

[WebScorpion]

Aaron Rowand has got the weirdest batting stance I've seen in a while. ...so he drills a single to right. :( Travis looks crisp but he's not working low in the zone. You can strike out Pat Burrell by climbing the ladder, but I don't think it will work all night.

[Reds Fanatic]

Vogelsong strikes out looking. 1-0 Giants after 2.

[Red in Chicago]

Good thing the giants offense is putrid or we'd really be in trouble.

[WebScorpion]

Good thing the giants offense is putrid or we'd really be in trouble.Yea, it's a shame their pitching isn't putrid or we'd be kicking butt. :thumbup:

[Big Klu]

Baseball uniforms should not be orange.

The Giants and Orioles both had orange alternate uniforms in the late 70's and early 80's, but they were better looking than these things. The Giants' orange unis from that period had more black and white trim than these.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wood broken bat ground out to short.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs strikes out looking. 2 outs.

[CTA513]

Rowand's plate routine is a bit offensive, not for kids.

Wood looks incredibly hittable...again.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrMqn6xC-Bw&feature=player_embedded

I put it in code format in case people didn't want to see it on here.

[CrackerJack]

Aaron Rowand has got the weirdest batting stance I've seen in a while.

He apparently thinks the bat is an extension of his manhood.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips lines a single to center. His 2nd hit tonight.

[CTA513]

Someone should punch the heckler

[Reds Fanatic]

FSN again has the field mike right on some jerk behind home plate.

[Big Klu]

FSN again has the field mike right on some jerk behind home plate.

I'm guessing it's the same jerk as last night.

[Reds Fanatic]

4 pitch walk to Votto. 1st and 2nd.

[757690]

The park does not favor the Reds hitters. Lots of flyable hitters. Line drives are the way to go in a park this big.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce flies out to center. 1-0 Giants mid 3rd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Burress singles to center on a ball that goes off Phillips glove. Actually change that error on Phillips.

[Red in Chicago]

brandon is awesome...listening to the guy from cincy talking about his free trip...

[Reds Fanatic]

How cool is Phillips. He gave a fan on twitter a trip to San Francisco.

[Reds Fanatic]

Tejada flies out to center. 1 out.

[_Sir_Charles_]

The Brewers pounded Kyle Loshe and the Redbirds to the tune of 8-0.

[Reds Fanatic]

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

[Cedric]

Why does Travis Wood throw so many 0-2 pitches right down broadway?

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan nails the runner trying to steal 3rd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

6 fastballs, all down the middle, no changes in speed or eye level or anything. Terrible.

I'm just not sure who's to blame. Bad pitch calling or bad excecution.

[WebScorpion]

Manigan guns down the runner at third! SWEEET!! :beerme:

[Reds Fanatic]

Not only did Hanigan nail him with a great throw the other runner did not even advance on that.

[HokieRed]

6 fastballs, all down the middle, no changes in speed or eye level or anything. Terrible.


Where was Hanigan in this? I couldn't figure out the approach here at all.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Where was Hanigan in this? I couldn't figure out the approach here at all.

I know. I'm not sure WHO was at fault there.

[WebScorpion]

Where was Hanigan in this? I couldn't figure out the approach here at all.The one he hit, Hanigan was set up inside and Wood just floated it down the middle.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ross strikes out swinging. 1-0 Giants after 3.

[_Sir_Charles_]

The one he hit, Hanigan was set up inside and Wood just floated it down the middle.

Thanks. I'm only listening so I was in the dark there.

[Reds Fanatic]

It is amazing the Reds are only down 1 when Wood has given up so many line drives hits already.

[HokieRed]

The one he hit, Hanigan was set up inside and Wood just floated it down the middle.

I'd like to have seen some change of speed in that sequence. Kid's really not pitching badly at all.

[WebScorpion]

I'd like to have seen some change of speed in that sequence. Kid's really not pitching badly at all.He's working up in the zone too much for my tastes, but he's not wild...he's missing his spots just enough to make it scary. :eek:

[mbgrayson]

After three innings, Giants 1, Reds 0

Vogelsong at 54 pitches, 35 strikes.
Wood at 39 pitches, 25 strikes.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen lines a triple to right center.

[CTA513]

Rolen will probably have to go on the DL after that triple

[mbgrayson]

Rolen triples to right-center. Get that man some oxygen....

[WebScorpion]

Rolen drove that to the right center field cavern...a homer in GASP. A triple here. :thumbup:

[Reds Fanatic]

Heisey walks. 1st and 3rd.

[HokieRed]

Not a surprise with Hanigan and Janish to follow.

[WebScorpion]

Send Heisey!

Ok, that'll do...Hanigan pokes one into the hole to right field for an RBI single. :clap:

[_Sir_Charles_]

Way to go Hanny! You are the MANIGAN!

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan singles to right. Tie game 1-1. 1st and 2nd.

[mbgrayson]

Can Janish top his doubleplay with a triple play here?

[Big Klu]

I would think about bunting with Janish. (Not saying I would do it, but I would think about it.)

[Reds Fanatic]

Janish strikes out looking.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wood sacrifices the runners to 2nd and 3rd. 2 outs.

[HokieRed]

I would think about bunting with Janish. (Not saying I would do it, but I would think about it.)

I'd have bunted him for sure. Get the men to 3rd and 2nd with one out; that's a place where just contact from Wood can score one.

[CTA513]

Might want to start swinging at some of these fastballs that are nearly right down the middle.

[Cedric]

If you have to bunt your 8 hitter he shouldn't be playing.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs strikes out swinging. 1-1 mid 4th.

[CTA513]

Future K-King whiffs again.

[Red in Chicago]

this isn't your pirates vogelsong

[Big Klu]

I'd have bunted him for sure. Get the men to 3rd and 2nd with one out; that's a place where just contact from Wood can score one.

That was my thinking. Wood handles the bat pretty well for a pitcher, and he would have a fair chance at making contact. And even if he didn't, then you would still have runners on 2nd and 3rd for Stubbs.

[WebScorpion]

Stubbs just cannot figure Vogelsong out...he's looking at the best pitches and swinging at the fluff (except that last one) Vogelsong is at 79 pitches. We need to pile on him next inning.

Travis is at 39 pitches BTW. :D

[mbgrayson]

Robert Andrew is striking out too much. However, it's nice to lead the league in something....

[Reds Fanatic]

As much as I hate to borrow a LaRussa idea I would actually bat Janish 9th and the pitcher 8th when Janish plays. He is a worse hitter than most of our pitchers.

[paintmered]

As much as I hate to borrow a LaRussa idea I would actually bat Janish 9th and the pitcher 8th when Janish plays. He is a worse hitter than most of our pitchers.

That's certainly the case with Wood pitching.

[Reds Fanatic]

Burrell strikes out looking. 4 Ks for Wood.

[Reds Fanatic]

Huff grounds out to 2nd. 2 outs.

[CTA513]

Welsh and Thom talking about Rowands stance

[HokieRed]

That was my thinking. Wood handles the bat pretty well for a pitcher, and he would have a fair chance at making contact. And even if he didn't, then you would still have runners on 2nd and 3rd for Stubbs.

Plus Frisco doesn't have a lot of offense. Let's get out ahead of them by one and dictate the game a little.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rowand grounds out to Wood. 1-1 after 4.

[Big Klu]

As much as I hate to borrow a LaRussa idea I would actually bat Janish 9th and the pitcher 8th when Janish plays. He is a worse hitter than most of our pitchers.

I don't know if Janish is actually a worse hitter, or if it just seems that way. However, the trio of Wood, Leake, and Arroyo all handle the bat pretty well for pitchers. (Bailey might also be in that group when healthy.)

[mbgrayson]

After four innings, Reds 1, Giants 1.

Vogelsong at 79 pitches, 50 strikes.
Wood at 49 pitches, 30 strikes.

[Big Klu]

After four innings, Reds 1, Giants 1.

Vogelsong at 79 pitches, 50 strikes.
Wood at 49 pitches, 30 strikes.

Vogelsong has thrown more strikes than Wood has thrown pitches. (Which may sound like a good thing at first, but really isn't.)

[Tornon]

I think somebody loves Joey Votto

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips infield hit. His 3rd hit tonight. Sanchez hurt himself badly on that play.

[mbgrayson]

Sanchez breaks his wrist fielding an up the middle grounder from Phillips...

[Reds Fanatic]

Sanchez is in a lot of pain. I think he may have broke that wrist.

[Reds Fanatic]

Brandon Crawford replaces Sanchez playing short and Burress moves from short to 2nd.

[CTA513]

Wood has 2 hits this season and has struck out close to 50% of the time.
Its not like Zambrano was coming up to bat.

[WebScorpion]

Sanchez breaks his wrist fielding an up the middle grounder from Phillips...Hate to see that. He's been having another solid season up to this point.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto walks. 1st and 2nd.

[HokieRed]

Need to break this thing open here.

[WebScorpion]

I think Welch is right. I thought it was his shoulder too. :(

Come on Jay. Settle down and pick one out you can drive.

[CTA513]

I think Welch is right. I thought it was his shoulder too. :(

Thats what it looked like when the trainer was looking at him, but he also had some kind of bump on top of his hand / near his wrist.

[The Operator]

Bruce singles and it's bases loaded and none out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce lines a single to left. Bases loaded no outs for Rolen.

[The Operator]

Also, the crowd mic is annoying again tonight. Maybe not as bad as last night, but bad.

[WebScorpion]

Alright! Bases juiced for Scotty! How about another triple!

[Cedric]

Just recently started watching the game. Has the strike zone been this inconsistent all night?

[The Operator]

Rolen Ks on 3 pitches.

[Reds Fanatic]

Just recently started watching the game. Has the strike zone been this inconsistent all night?

A little inconsistent tonight but not nearly as bad as last night.

Rolen strikes out swinging.

[durl]

Rolen Ks. I would have liked to have seen a suicide squeeze right there.

[The Operator]

Heisey grounds out but brings in the go-ahead. 2-1

[Reds Fanatic]

Heisey grounds out to 1st. 2-1 Reds. Runners on 2nd and 3rd.

[Cedric]

Good job Heisey!

[CTA513]

Huff unsure of what to do and barely gets Heisey at 1st for out #2.

[durl]

I can't believe Heisey was able to make such decent contact on such an inside pitch.

[mbgrayson]

That was pitch #100 by Vogelsong

[WebScorpion]

A little inconsistent tonight but not nearly as bad as last night.

Rolen strikes out swinging.IMO his strike zone seems to be a little low and a little extra on the outside corner, but he gives them to Wood also. :dunno:

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan grounds out to short. 2-1 Reds mid 5th.

[The Operator]

Sure are leaving a lot of runners tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sure are leaving a lot of runners tonight.

Already 8 in 5 innings.

[WebScorpion]

That was pitch #100 by VogelsongHopefully we can wear out their bullpen for the next two games. ;)

[WebScorpion]

Already 8 in 5 innings.At least they're getting on base tonight. Last night we barely did that. :eek:

[Reds Fanatic]

Stewart bunt single.

[Reds Fanatic]

Great try by Hanigan on a foul ball.

[Reds Fanatic]

Vogelsong bunts the runner to 2nd. Wood almost made a diving catch on that.

[WebScorpion]

The guys are really going all out on defense tonight! :clap:

[Reds Fanatic]

Burress grounds out to Wood. 2 outs.

[The Operator]

Stupid pitch selection right there.

[Reds Fanatic]

Again Tejada doubles to left. Tie game 2-2.

[CrackerJack]

Thanks goodness Wood is pitching in this park vs this offense tonight.

[Red in Chicago]

tejada yet again...

[Cedric]

Travis Wood has not pitched intelligently at all this year. He's been oddly dumb to be blunt.

[CTA513]

Need a new scouting report on Tejada

[WebScorpion]

Stupid pitch selection right there.Hanigan was set up on the outside corner...Wood missed his spot again. :(

[Reds Fanatic]

Giants have 11 hits in the 2 games and 4 of them have been doubles by Tejada.

[Cedric]

Need a new scouting report on Tejada

Don't throw cutters right down broadway?

[VR]

Travis Wood has not pitched intelligently at all this year. He's been oddly dumb to be blunt.

Have you seen his gameday picture? ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Heisey ran into the wall making a diving effort on a ball that went foul.

[CrackerJack]

Welsh and Thom talking about Rowands stance

George Grande would not go there...

[The Operator]

out #3

[Reds Fanatic]

Crawford fles out to center. 2-2 after 5.

[CTA513]

Don't throw cutters right down broadway?

He has 4 doubles in 2 games so it wasn't just Wood pitching to him.

[The Operator]

Vogelsong staying in... interesting.

[WebScorpion]

Make him pitch...he's over 100 pitches.

[Reds Fanatic]

Janish grounds out to 3rd. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wood strikes out swinging.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs singles to center.

[The Operator]

Stubbs gets a 2-out single.

[The Operator]

wow. Giants got lucky there.

[Tornon]

I can't believe that just happened

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow. What a weird play. Phillips lines a ball off Tejada that bounces to the SS on to 2nd. 5-6-4 on the FC.

[Edskin]

Ahhh, quick story: watching the game and checking in on the game thread I suddenly notice that you all are way ahead of me... At least by a full three to five minutes... I know there are short delays from one cable/satellite system to another but this was absurd. Janish making an out was posted BEFORE the Reds got out of the bottom of the previous inning. I was starting to freak out, then got excited that I might be time traveling....

Turns out just forgot I had paused it earlier :)

[The Operator]

I think that'll make some highlights.

[CTA513]

Phillips unlucky as he hits rocket that goes off Tejadas leg right to the shortstop who throws it to 2nd for the force out.

[kaldaniels]

Leave it to BP to solve Tejada. Send a laser his way.

[redsfaninbsg]

Phillips grounds out routinely 5-6-4.

[WebScorpion]

Shinball! :eek:

BP drills one off Tejada's shin and it deflects right to the SS who throws out the runner at 2nd.

[mbgrayson]

That 5-6-4 was hit hard enough to force Stubbs. That should tell you something....

[Reds Fanatic]

Ross flies out to left. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Burrell pops out to 2nd. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Huff doubles off the wall in right.

[CTA513]

Huff wishes he played in a park with a normal right field wall.

[Reds Fanatic]

Intentional walk to Rowand.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stewart broken bat ground out to 3rd. 2-2 after 6.

[Big Klu]

Rolen realized who the batter was, and didn't panic on that grounder.

[CTA513]

Wood on wood crime committed at At&T tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jeremy Affeldt in to pitch, Rowand moves to left. Torres in center.

[redsfaninbsg]

This is one of those games that you really need to win. Close game on the road, weak opposing offense, their ace on the hill tomorrow, etc.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto strikes out looking.

[Red in Chicago]

jeremy made 'em both look bad

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce strikes out swinging.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen grounds out to short. 2-2 mid 7th.

[WebScorpion]

Isn't that the 4th or 5th broken bat of the night? :eek:

[Big Klu]

Wood on wood crime committed at At&T tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Torres walks.

[redsfaninbsg]

Torres walks.

If Hannigan catches the pitch he might be walking towards the dugout about now.

[Reds Fanatic]

Burress attempts a bunt and pops out to Votto.

[Reds Fanatic]

Tejada walks. 1st and 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Big 6-4-3 DP. 2-2 after 7.

[Red in Chicago]

yessiree

[Tornon]

Is it just me or was Travis squeezed a bit that inning

[kaldaniels]

Tip of the hat to you sir, Mr Wood.

[redsfaninbsg]

Reds starting pitching is starting to come around, or is it the poor Cubs and Giants offenses?

[redsfaninbsg]

Is it just me or was Travis squeezed a bit that inning

I thought the same thing.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wood now at 94 pitches.

[CTA513]

Crawford didn't know that lefties hit around .350 off Wood this season.

[VR]

Miguel Tejada had a <Janish OpS coming into this series.....just to put in perspective how crappy his season has been.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sergio Romo in to pitch

[CrackerJack]

This is one of those games that you really need to win. Close game on the road, weak opposing offense, their ace on the hill tomorrow, etc.

Yep, diff between a playoff bound team and one who's not possibly.

A DP helps that cause...

They need to score some runs.

[CTA513]

Romo should pay someone to cut his facial hair.

[durl]

OK...I just saw a bubble go across the screen.

[Reds Fanatic]

Heisey strikes out looking.

[kaldaniels]

You gotta step up one of these days Heisey. It is there for the taking.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan strikes out looking.

[Cedric]

Paul Janish honestly is the worst hitter that isn't a pitcher I have ever seen in my life. He makes Juan Castro look like Babe Ruth.

[Reds Fanatic]

Janish strikes out swinging. 2-2 mid 8th.

[Gainesville Red]

To be fair, Romo is straight nasty. And employs some killer facial hair.

[Plus Plus]

Chris Heisey splits:

That isn't exactly coming out and knocking the door down regarding claiming a starting LF gig.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ross bloop hit to right.

[kaldaniels]

Future Hall of Famer Matt Cain up to bunt.

[CTA513]

Surprised Wood was sent back out since Arredondo had been warming up.

[kaldaniels]

You're killing me Paul.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cain attempts a sacrifice and grounds into a 1-6 FC

[The Voice of IH]

I can not believe this inning is not over.

[Reds Fanatic]

Huff pops out to short. 2 outs.

[CTA513]

Defense isn't helping out Wood this inning.

[The Voice of IH]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ugh. Rowand singles to left. The throw gets past the cutoff main allowing the runners to go to 2nd and 3rd.

[Cedric]

Another 0-2 hit. Travis Wood has pitched decent tonight against a terrible offense. Still missing spots by 2 feet it seems.

[Reds Fanatic]

I don't get leaving Wood in here.

[The Voice of IH]

I would Call the Bull pen for this one. Just me though. hopefully it works out

[redsfaninbsg]

Defense has killed the Reds in this frame.

[Cedric]

Anyone know where Ray Olmedo is at? Janish is killing the Reds.

[The Voice of IH]

:KoolAid:

[Reds Fanatic]

Stewart flies out to left. 2-2 after 8.

[kaldaniels]

B+ start for Wood. Nice job.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wood has been in trouble in 7 of the 8 innings but he did a good job of working out of trouble tonight.

[Cedric]

B+ start for Wood. Nice job.

It's a results oriented business I suppose. Travis was extremely lucky tonight, IMO. Tonight the results were good. If I was projecting long term I don't see tonight as an improvement.

[WebScorpion]

B+ start for Wood. Nice job.I don't know... It was kinda like watching 2010 CoCo pitch half the game. :alcohol:

[Reds Fanatic]

Wood 8IP, 10H, 2ER, 3BB, 4K

[Reds Fanatic]

Brian Wilson in to pitch.

Lewis pinch hitting

[757690]

I don't know... It was kinda like watching 2010 CoCo pitch half the game. :alcohol:

I was thinking something similar. I think if the game was played in GAPB, Wood gives up 5 runs at least.

[The Voice of IH]

The ump is calling an inch off the plate to the left side, its not even close.

[Red in Chicago]

We better score because I can't handle extra innings tonight

[kaldaniels]

It's a results oriented business I suppose. Travis was extremely lucky tonight, IMO. Tonight the results were good. If I was projecting long term I don't see tonight as an improvement.

Yep. Could have easily been a 5 ER outing.

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit by Lewis.

[The Voice of IH]

I mean seriously, its not even close, he's just calling anything pitched to that side.

[Reds Fanatic]

It is ugly watching Stubbs try to bunt.

[kaldaniels]

So far a horribly wasted AB.

[The Voice of IH]

It is ugly watching Stubbs try to bunt.

+1

[757690]

Brian Wilson in to pitch.

Lewis pinch hitting

Who would have thought that this Brian Wilson would be weirder than this Brian Wilson?

http://www.dangerousminds.net/images/uploads/brian.jpg

[The Voice of IH]

So far a horribly wasted opportunity

fyp

[757690]

Don't understand the bunt here.

[Reds Fanatic]

Horrible AB. Stubbs strikes out swinging.

[CTA513]

future K-King with his 3rd k tonight.

[Big Klu]

It's a results oriented business I suppose. Travis was extremely lucky tonight, IMO. Tonight the results were good. If I was projecting long term I don't see tonight as an improvement.

I probably would have given him a grade of B-, maybe a B. He gave up a lot of baserunners, and more than one hit on an 0-2 count (which is inexcusable, IMO). But he did work out of trouble and allowed only two runs in 8 IP.

[Cedric]

I hate bunting.

[redsfaninbsg]

Would have been much better off trying to steal 2B.

[VR]

Drew Stubbs with his 47th strikeout in the last week.

[The Voice of IH]

How does no one catch on that ANYTHING pitched to that side is a strike, SWING AT IT!

[Reds Fanatic]

They need to move Stubbs to batting 6th or 7th. He is not a leadoff hitter.

[WVRedsFan]

I hate the Giants fans cheering every pitch. They act like it's a football game. Bandwagon fans.

[kaldaniels]

Should have Albert Belle'd him.
