4/13/2012 Reds vs Nats

[cumberlandreds]

Here are the lineups via baseballpress.com. I can't believe I'm posting a lineup to a game I'll actually be attending. Look for me, I'll be the one wearing a Reds cap. :D No Cozart. Looks like no slump busting tonight with that lineup.


1. Drew Stubbs (R) CF (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=stubbdr01&year=Career&t=b)
2. Wilson Valdez (R) SS (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=valdewi01&year=Career&t=b)
3. Joey Votto (L) 1B (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=vottojo01&year=Career&t=b)
4. Scott Rolen (R) 3B (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=rolensc01&year=Career&t=b)
5. Jay Bruce (L) RF (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=bruceja01&year=Career&t=b)
6. Ryan Ludwick (R) LF (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=ludwiry01&year=Career&t=b)
7. Willie Harris (L) 2B (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=harriwi02&year=Career&t=b)
8. Ryan Hanigan (R) C (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=hanigry01&year=Career&t=b)
9. Bronson Arroyo (R) P (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=arroybr01&year=Career&t=b)

[Kc61]

With Phillips out, wouldn't seem like an ideal time to rest Cozart.

Unless there's some number out there showing that Valdez/Harris hit the Nats pitcher Zimmerman particularly well.

[kbrake]

That's a joke.

[cbowen2112]

The reds will win this game 12-3...that is the way this usually works.

[Reds Fanatic]

With Phillips out, wouldn't seem like an ideal time to rest Cozart.

Unless there's some number out there showing that Valdez/Harris hit the Nats pitcher Zimmerman particularly well.

it is a very small sample but Valdez is 3 for 5 lifetime against Zimmerman

[Redsfan320]

it is a very small sample but Valdez is 3 for 5 lifetime against Zimmerman


Then play him at 2nd instead of Willie Freakin' Harris! There's an off-day Monday, Cozy can rest then.

320

[Vottomatic]

Another dumb lineup by Dusty. It never ends.

[WildcatFan]

Stubbs lines out to right, Valdez grounds out to P, Votto walks.

[WildcatFan]

Rolen lines out to center.

[WildcatFan]

Cards trying to mount a little comeback. 9-5 after 7. Wainwright got SHELLED.

[WildcatFan]

Desmond fly out, Espinosa ground out.

[WildcatFan]

Zimmerman fly out to right. Sharp inning for Arroyo.

[WildcatFan]

Is anyone's audio feed way behind the video on FSO?

[WildcatFan]

Is anyone even here?

[WildcatFan]

Bruce strikes out, Ludwick grounds out to short.

[kbrake]

I'm here now. How's it going RZ?

[757690]

Is anyone even here?

No, at least I'm not here ;)

[cbowen2112]

Arroyo is not getting his usual strike calls on his frisbees.

[cbowen2112]

He is leaving his breaking stuff down though.

LaRoche grounds to Votto.

[brad1176]

Good Lord, how did LaRoche get a bat on that ball??

[cbowen2112]

Votto snags a foul ball. Very nice!

[cbowen2112]

I hate when Bronson can not use the leg kick.

[cbowen2112]

84 MPH fastballs seem like lightning after 70 MPH sliders.

After 2...0-0

[brad1176]

Bronson with a single!

[brad1176]

Mid third, still no score.

[elfmanvt07]

Bronson Arroyo is built like Madonna.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto singles through the shift.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen grounds out to short on a good play by Desmond. Votto to 2nd.

[jojo]

Great pitch that should have beat Votto but he comes out victorious...

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce flies out to left. 2 outs.

[jojo]

A younger Rolen with twenty something legs keeps that play off of ESPN.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick grounds out to 3rd as Zimmerman makes a diving stop. 0-0 mid 4th.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

It's like they're batting with driftwood. Nothing hit with any authority. Even the hits are seeing-eye singles or bloops.

[jojo]

It's like they're batting with driftwood. Nothing hit with any authority. Even the hits are seeing-eye singles or bloops.

Bruce just missed an opposite field dinger.

[Reds Fanatic]

Espinosa flies out to right.

[757690]

A younger Rolen with twenty something legs keeps that play off of ESPN.

Pretty much everyone except David Ortiz keeps that play off of ESPN. ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Zimmerman doubles to center over Stubbs.

[WrongVerb]

Pretty much everyone except David Ortiz keeps that play off of ESPN. ;)

Ortiz doesn't play 3b, (And Zimmerman doesn't play for the Red Sox) so why would that play be on ESPN?

[Reds Fanatic]

LaRoche flies out to left. Runner to 3rd. 2 outs.

[jojo]

That pitch looked pretty good...

[Reds Fanatic]

Werth flies out to left. 0-0 after 4.

[jojo]

Hmmmm, Zimmerman takes third on a flyball to left.

[Reds Fanatic]

Through 4 innings:

Zimmerman 58 pitches
Arroyo 50 pitches

[cbowen2112]

Holy moly Harris gets a hit!

[Reds Fanatic]

Harris leads off with a double.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan grounds out to short. Harris to 3rd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Arroyo with a sac fly to center. 1-0 Reds.

[cbowen2112]

Wish Stubbs would move that bat

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs strikes out swinging. 1-0 Reds mid 5th.

[cbowen2112]

Wish Stubbs would move that bat

More so on the pitches right over the middle though.

[jojo]

In the ultimate irony, Arroyo takes his vengeance on the Nats for breaking up his no hitter by making an out....

[WrongVerb]

Stubbs doesn't look lost, so much as he looks like he has no game plan when he goes to the plate.

Most of the Reds hitters look that way, to be honest. It's like the opposing pitchers are playing chess and the Reds are playing checkers.

[jojo]

Stubbs doesn't look lost, so much as he looks like he has no game plan when he goes to the plate.

Most of the Reds hitters look that way, to be honest. It's like the opposing pitchers are playing chess and the Reds are playing checkers.

Small ball, baby.

[757690]

Harris leads off with a double.

Dusty the genius strikes again!

[Reds Fanatic]

DeRosa grounds out to short.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bernadina doubles to right center.

[cbowen2112]

Uh oh

[jojo]

Bernadina doubles to right center.

My arms were raised toward the sky in anticipation of the gun down at third that didn't materialize...

[jojo]

Arroyo really needs to patch things up with his barber...

[Reds Fanatic]

Ramos can't check his swing on outside pitch and strikes out. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

J. Zimmerman out on a soft liner to 1st. 1-0 Reds after 5.

[cbowen2112]

Arroyo needs to go 9 here...let's hope the 3rd time through they do not start touching him up too bad.

[jojo]

This game is starting to take on a face that only a mother could love.

[Reds Fanatic]

Valdez flies out to the track in center.

[cbowen2112]

Need a big fly here

[jojo]

That Bernadina guy looks pretty good in center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto walks.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen with a bloop pop out to 2nd turns into a DP as Votto is caught off 1st. 1-0 Reds mid 6th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Desmond lines a single to center.

[jojo]

The Rolen-Votto dp was less than edifying.

[nate]

late inning chat is open!

[Reds Fanatic]

Espinosa sacrifices the runner to 2nd.

[jojo]

Attempting to bunt for a hit against Rolen? These young punks know nothing about the history of the game...

[Reds Fanatic]

R. Zimmerman flies out to right. 2 outs. Runner stays at 2nd.

[jojo]

Arroyo ever vigilant against funny business, confers with Hanigan. Zimmerman contemplating Arroyo's gold glove decides to fly out to Stubbs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Check swing ground out to 3rd to end the inning. 1-0 Reds after 6.

[CrackerJack]

At least Arroyo looks to be back on his game so far this year

[jojo]

Arroyo serves Desmon notice as lefty kryptonite mans the batter's box against soft-tossing superman but fails to bring him to his knees.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds out to 1st.

[jojo]

Jay Bruce in the midst of a breakout career year, refuses to call attention to by and grounds out to first.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick strikes out swinging.

[jojo]

Ryan Ludwick, being himself, declares he will remain true to self.

[Reds Fanatic]

Harris reaches on an error by LaRoche

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow now Hanigan reaches on an error by Desmond.

[reds44]

Stop playing Ludwick and play Heisey. Move Phillips to cleanup.

Heisey
Cozart
Votto
Phillips
Bruce
Rolen
Stubbs
Devin Hanigan

[jojo]

Hanigan, upset that Dusty will not bat him second, puts those feelings aside and forces Desmon to make an error. Arroyo, being sly and coy watches from them dugout leaving the on deck circle barren and desolate.

[jojo]

Hatta's of the DH rejoice in the epic battle now taking place between Zimmerman and his arch nemesis, Arroyo.

[Reds Fanatic]

Arroyo grounds out to short. 1-0 Reds mid 7th.

[wheels]

This next half inning scares me a bit.

[reds44]

Give me one more out of BA and then hand it over to the lefties.

[Crumbley]

I try really hard not to be one of those "GRRR, ME HATE DUSTY!" types, but I want him gone if Arroyo blows this lead.

[Kc61]

At least have the pen ready.

[wheels]

He's been incredibly pitch efficient tonight. I have no problem with trotting him out for the seventh.

Still... I am a bit scared.

[mattfeet]

Arroyo's pitches have A LOT more movement on them then they did last year. That first curve to start the 7th was pretty wicked.

-Matt

[jojo]

Reds nation (mostly wheels) holds its collective breath as the game enters the witching hour.

[mattfeet]

Ok, that strikeout pitch was filthy.

-Matt

[Reds Fanatic]

Werth strikes out swinging. 3 Ks for Arroyo.

[jojo]

Werth looks worthless. 1 out.

[WVRedsFan]

Gotta believe this is living on the edge. The offense is pathetic.

[Reds Fanatic]

DeRosa strikes out swinging. 4 Ks.

[mattfeet]

As was that strikeout pitch. lol

[mattfeet]

Assuming he gets through the 7th, do you trot him back out there for the 8th? Or do you go to a Chapman/Marshall 8th/9th combo?

-Matt

[reds44]

Let him start the 8th, have Chapman warming.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bernadina grounds out. 1-0 Reds after 7.

[wheels]

Tremendous outing for the grizzly junk baller.

Stellar in every sense of the word.

Time for the Fireballing Cuban.

[Reds Fanatic]

Through 7 innings:

Arroyo 92 pitches
Zimmerman 100 pitches

[jojo]

Delrosa follows Werth to the bench...both shocked that Arroyo began throwing off speed pitches this late in his career.

[Kc61]

Chapman and Marshall please.

[MikeS21]

Assuming he gets through the 7th, do you trot him back out there for the 8th? Or do you go to a Chapman/Marshall 8th/9th combo?

-Matt
Nah, I'd let Chapman start the 8th with a clean slate - bases empty.

[elfmanvt07]

After Bronson, it'll look like Aroldis is throwing 140.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ryan Mattheus in to pitch

[jojo]

After Bronson, it'll look like Aroldis is throwing 140.

The Nats like fastballs. They might prefer the change of pace.

[Kc61]

Bronson is a 90 pitch pitcher. Has been for years. Enough.

[wheels]

My country for a pair of insurance runs.

[reds44]

Bray and Ondrusek warming up.

Leave Bronson in.

[WVRedsFan]

My country for a pair of insurance runs.
Ditto

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs grounds out to 3rd.

[mattfeet]

Bray and Ondrusek warming up.

Leave Bronson in.

lol, i thought the same thing :lol:

[wheels]

Chapman not up?

What the?

Dusty thinks he needs rest, I suppose.


Or maybe a return to the rotation is in the works.

[jojo]

Matheus takes the mound just itching to walk someone. Stubbs refuses to clog the bases.

[WVRedsFan]

Valdez likewise

[Reds Fanatic]

Valdez grounds out to 3rd.

[kaldaniels]

Take Bronson out. I rarely throw this word around but I am very "proud" of his performance tonight.

[wheels]

I hope it's Bray in the 8th. I havent seen him again this week, but he was incredibly sharp on Monday. I feel good about him this year.

[wheels]

Take Bronson out. I rarely throw this word around but I am very "proud" of his performance tonight.

Me too.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto walks for the 3rd time tonight.

[wheels]

Dusty hates Votto. He keeps clogging those bases.

[jojo]

Votto, perhaps the only person in the stadium not thinking it's wierd that Mattheus has two Ts in his last name, takes a double B giving him 3 BBs on the eve.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen grounds into a 5-4 FC. 1-0 Reds mid 8th.

[mattfeet]

The Reds need someone to protect Votto in the lineup. Bat Bruce 4th. Rolen is not up to the task.

-Matt

[jojo]

Rolen, all business, requires only three pitches to do his business that at bat....

[Reds Fanatic]

The Reds need someone to protect Votto in the lineup. Bat Bruce 4th. Rolen is not up to the task.

-Matt

Rolen at this point should be batting about 7th. Unfortunately it will take Dusty until about June to figure that out.

[redsfaninbsg]

Votto may walk 130 times if the guys behind him keep hitting like this.

[WVRedsFan]

The Reds need someone to protect Votto in the lineup. Bat Bruce 4th. Rolen is not up to the task.

-MattYes. But you know Dusty.

[Degenerate39]

Oh Dusty

[reds44]

I agree with Dusty here.

[Reds Fanatic]

Arroyo back out for the 8th.

[WVRedsFan]

Arroyo out there may be a bad mistake. Hide and watch.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ramos grounds out to Arroyo.

[mattfeet]

Here comes toothpick

[reds44]

Leave him in!

[mattfeet]

7 1/3 innings of shutout ball for Arroyo. Nice.

-Matt

[Reds Fanatic]

Great start by Arroyo: 7.1 IP, 3H, 0ER, 1BB, 4 K.

[CrackerJack]

This lineup needs some Viagra

Another good if not great start for Arroyo and Dusty does the right thing

[WVRedsFan]

Arroyo now out. Time for the bullpen to blow another. I hope not...

[Reds Fanatic]

Chad Tracy pinch hitting. Bray in to pitch

[reds44]

You couldn't let him face the almighty Chad Tracy?

[WVRedsFan]

This lineup needs some Viagra

Another good if not great start for Arroyo and Dusty does the right thing
Cialis.

[jojo]

Talk across Cincy, Northern KY, and parts of Dayton during the break centered upon whether Baker will keep Arroyo in for the 8th. Much rejoicing occurs as Dusty does and Arroyo does Ramos. Then lefty kryptonite chases our superhero behind a protective layer of lead otherwise known as the Reds dugout.

[Reds Fanatic]

Now Nady is hitting for Tracy

[mattfeet]

Youve got to be kidding me.

[reds44]

lol Dusty.

lol Ludwick.

[WVRedsFan]

Bray is not confidence inspiring. Fools gold. See?

[jojo]

Bray causes Tracy to be wasty as Davey heralds Xavier. Hatta's of the DH rejoice! Unfortunately so does Nats nation. Ludwick plays pattyfingers with a homer.

[Reds Fanatic]

Crap. Nady homers off Ludwick's glove.

[reds44]

Bronson vs. Tracy or Bray vs. Nady.

[WVRedsFan]

lol Dusty.

lol Ludwick.Lol, Bray. Not my favorite

[Reds Fanatic]

That was a 2 pitch outing for Bray.

[oneupper]

Epic Fail

[wheels]

That smarts.

Yowch.

[Reds Fanatic]

Dusty is having quite a year so far. I don't get why Chapman was not being used. If he is going to be in the bullpen use him there.

[WVRedsFan]

Typical Dusty. How much longer will we have to put up with these lineups and in-game moves?

[Reds Fanatic]

Ondrusek in to pitch

[brad1176]

Ludwick showing off his two inch vertical leap on that one. Good grief.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Everything Dusty touches turns to stone. Just awful.

[CrackerJack]

Ludwick...good grief

[jojo]

Now Dusty must figure out a way to deal with a reign of Nattitide falling upon the Reds...Dusty decides to Ondrusek the Nattitude.

[Reds/Flyers Fan]

Maybe we can see Simon again in the 10th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Desmond fouls out to 1st.

[redsfaninbsg]

Maybe we can see Simon again in the 10th.

This

[Hollcat]

Dusty is having quite a year so far. I don't get why Chapman was not being used. If he is going to be in the bullpen use him there.

We've been Dusted again!

[dougdirt]

I don't blame Dusty for that one. It is going to happen sometimes.

I just hope that next time Dusty doesn't decide to leave Arroyo in there to try and avoid this happening again.

[WVRedsFan]

Why do we get Ondrusek, Sammy, and Simon seems like every night and no Chapman or Marshall? Good grief.

[wheels]

Who was that guy that kept cracking himself in the cup around '02ish?

That's who Simon reminds me of. We will assuredly see him.

[757690]

Everyone and their mother wanted Dusty to bring in Bray in Arroyo's last start and in yesterday's game. He finally does today, and he's an idiot for doing it.

[jojo]

Everyone and their mother wanted Dusty to bring in Bray in Arroyo's last start and in yesterday's game. He finally does today, and he's an idiot for doing it.

He was out benched.

[WVRedsFan]

Guess we're resting Chapman and Marshall. For what? Beats me.

[CrackerJack]

Not blaming Dusty either - Ludwick has to make that play, Bray has to do his job better.

Has nothing to do with Dusty, and I'm not a fan.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Harris. 1-1 after 8.

[MikeS21]

Everyone and their mother wanted Dusty to bring in Bray in Arroyo's last start and in yesterday's game. He finally does today, and he's an idiot for doing it.
True, and if he would have brought in Chapman, and given up a bouncy homerun, Dusty still would have been the idiot.

[Kc61]

Dusty is using Chapman for longer outings. He won't be pitching so often.

[wheels]

I got Dusty's back on this one.

One thing that bugs me is that he decided to rest Chapman.

[WVRedsFan]

He was out benched.
Bray is fool's gold. Always has been. In a 1-0 game, I go with my best, and that ain't Bray.

[alloverjr]

Not blaming Dusty either - Ludwick has to make that play, Bray has to do his job better.

Has nothing to do with Dusty, and I'm not a fan.

Agreed. And Ludwick doesn't seem to do anything well.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce, Ludwick and Harris due up.

[Reds Fanatic]

Henry Rodriguez in to pitch

[jojo]

Eight innings have been played. Nothing has been solved in this one. Davey is the windshield and Dusty is the bug. Luckwick is the goat and Bray is the sparkplug.

[reds44]

Good luck hitting this guy.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce flies out to left. 1 out.

[WVRedsFan]

Good luck hitting this guy.He's their Chapman, but we don't use him because...beats me

[jojo]

Bray is fool's gold. Always has been. In a 1-0 game, I go with my best, and that ain't Bray.

I'm pretty confident in Bray. Nady is a great option to have off of the bench.

If you asked me, Tracy is the very definition of intangibles...he did nothing yet he did everything.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick fouls out to first. Now Chapman and Marshall are warming up

[reds44]

NOW Chapman is warming up?!

WHAT?

[jojo]

Ludwick still steaming, comes to bat and lays a pile of something steaming...

[WVRedsFan]

Now Chapman is up. What? So stupid. Sorry fellows, but this was a mistake by management.

[alloverjr]

Goody. Chapman up because we didn't waste him in the 8th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Harris flies out to left. 1-1 mid 9th

[WVRedsFan]

Harris flies out to left. 1-1 mid 9th

Glory hallelujah. What a bench.

[Reds Fanatic]

Zimmerman, LaRoche and Werth due up

[jojo]

Good thing the Reds 9th wasn't a bus because their offense would've missed it.<<<----see what I did there?

[WVRedsFan]

Davey diid the smart thing and Dusty did not. Simple. Now we get Logan. WTF?

[Reds Fanatic]

Ondrusek still in. I assume Chapman is coming in next to face LaRoche

[mattfeet]

WTF - Ondrusek still in. I dont get it.

[BuckeyeRedleg]

What does Harris do again? Oh yes, I forgot, he bats left handed.

Hilarious.

[alloverjr]

Ondrusek still in. I assume Chapman is coming in next to face LaRoche

Because of Chapman's L-R splits ;)

[jojo]

The heart of Nattitude due up in the bottom of the ninth. Logan, not being considered a closer, is allowed to continue in the 9th of a tie game.

[Reds Fanatic]

Zimmerman grounds out to 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

I was wrong he is sticking with Ondrusek

[wheels]

Need to win tonight. Homer is manning the bump tomorrow.

[mattfeet]

....and Chapman STILL isnt in.

[edabbs44]

9 runs in the last 46 innings...when we are nitpicking about a decision here and a decision there, we are kinda missing the big picture.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nasty pitch. LaRoche strikes out swinging.

[alloverjr]

Nice pitching by Logan there

[wheels]

9 runs in the last 46 innings...when we are nitpicking about a decision here and a decision there, we are kinda missing the big picture.

Truer words never spoken.

[jojo]

Logan makes LaRoche lay a LaStinky.

[jojo]

Werth and Arroyo would make a cute couple.

[Reds Fanatic]

Werth singles to center.

[kbrake]

9 runs in the last 46 innings...when we are nitpicking about a decision here and a decision there, we are kinda missing the big picture.

Understand the point but you still have to find a way to win some of these games. I left the TV for a bit there so I didn't see how gassed Arroyo was but I don't know why you don't just go to Marshall and finish it.

[WVRedsFan]

Danger, Will Robinson, danger

[edabbs44]

Understand the point but you still have to find a way to win some of these games. I left the TV for a bit there so I didn't see how gassed Arroyo was but I don't know why you don't just go to Marshall and finish it.

Bray is one of their key relievers, I don't think that Dusty was exactly throwing in the towel there.

[WVRedsFan]

Now, it comes.

[Reds Fanatic]

DeRosa singles to left. 1st and 2nd.

[kbrake]

Bray is one of their key relievers, I don't think that Dusty was exactly throwing in the towel there.

Chapman is only in the bullpen because we've been told they don't feel comfortable with Bray in tight spots.

[WVRedsFan]

Chapman is only in the bullpen because we've been told they don't feel comfortable with Bray in tight spots.
So...I don't get it.

[edabbs44]

Chapman is only in the bullpen because we've been told they don't feel comfortable with Bray in tight spots.

I never saw that quote before. I thought it had to do with Masset and Madson.

[redsfaninbsg]

Dusty has gotten ridiculous.

[Reds Fanatic]

2-0 count on Bernadina

[jojo]

Bernadina may be lefty but Dusty thinks that's alright.

[WVRedsFan]

This is the game right here, and Ondrusek is making it crappy

[kbrake]

I never saw that quote before. I thought it had to do with Masset and Madson.

I know I read that Bray had only thrown 3 innings in Spring Training so they needed Chapman in the pen. Which I'm fine with but don't screw around with Bray in a 1-0 game then.

[Reds Fanatic]

Got lucky there that looked like ball 3.

[wheels]

This is not good.

[Reds Fanatic]

3-1 count

[wheels]

I bet Dusty leaves him in if he walks him.

[WVRedsFan]

3-1. What a cluster

[Reds Fanatic]

Full count

[top6]

2 games in a row have been tied going into the bottom of the 9th, and our 2 best relievers have yet to pitch. Inexplicable.

That is my first post in a game thread this year.

[VottoFan54]

Got him! K

[reds44]

What a terribly effective pitch!

[757690]

According to Gameday, Logan is getting squeezed big time.

[Reds Fanatic]

Big K. Bernandina strikes out swinging.

[wheels]

Woof. Now we can breathe.

[brad1176]

Got him!!

[alloverjr]

That is my first post in a game thread this year.

Congratulations!

[top6]

Just wanted to get in my complaint before Ondrusek either saved or blew the game, so people wouldn't think I was being results oriented.

GO REDS.

[Reds Fanatic]

On to the 10th.

Hanigan, pinch hitter and Stubbs due up

[klw]

34 pitches for Logan. Hopefully he mans up and goes 5 more innings tonight. Its called doing a Fisher.

[WVRedsFan]

2 games in a row have been tied going into the bottom of the 9th, and our 2 best relievers have yet to pitch. Inexplicable.

That is my first post in a game thread this year.This. Wonder why we acquired Marshall and moved Chapman to the pen. Wonder a lot of things. Good pitching, Logan.

[alloverjr]

ASSUMING the Reds don't score, do you bring in Simon, Arredondo or LeCure? ;)

[jojo]

Save the hosses for september.
