[Vottomatic]

SS Cozart
CF Stubbs
RF Bruce
LF Ludwick
3B Rolen
1B Frazier
2B Valdez
C Mesoraco
P Bailey

BP gets the night off.

[PuffyPig]

With us winning, I guess it's a good thing that we can afford to keep everyone fresh. It's a long hot summer. And Valdez has been hitting better as he's started more.

[powersackers]

Is this Ludwick's first clean up appearance?

[1990REDS]

The way Bailey has been pitching and with the Astros horrid lineup, im thinking 2 or 3 runs wins this thing for us.

[Kc61]

Phillips has really come up big since Votto went out. My admiration for Phillips as a player has increased watching him lead this team (as I believe he has) after the injury.

Overall, Phillips is an enormously underrated player in major league baseball. Leaving him off the All Star Team, for whatever reason, was a joke.

Take a rest, Brandon, but don't go too far away. We may need you later in the game.

[OldXOhio]

Is this Ludwick's first clean up appearance?

He hit there Monday night

[RedlegJake]

I know he needs a rest but the way BP has been hitting I hate to see him out of the game. I guess sitting against the Astros is the best timing though.

[Tom Servo]

Am I the only one actually kinda saddened by the lack of Xavier Paul? :drink:

[alloverjr]

How in the world does Ludwick hit ahead of Valdez?

[RedlegJake]

How in the world does Bruce hit in the 3 spot when he's been as cold as the Coke Polar Bear? Frazier would eb a better pick. Oh well, Dusty's been winning games with his lineups

[Reds Fanatic]

Astros lineup:

Gonzalez SS
Altuve 2B
Maxwell CF
Johnson 3B
Moore 1B
Martinez LF
Bogusevic RF
Corporan C
Norris P

[_Sir_Charles_]

The way Bailey has been pitching and with the Astros horrid lineup, im thinking 2 or 3 runs wins this thing for us.

Homer always pitches well in Texas. He has yet to lose to the Astros. His ERA is under 2 IIRC.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Stubbs, Frazier & Mes...all going yard tonight...book it. I'm not going to fail to call it like KC last night.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart strikes out looking.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs grounds out to short.

[Reds Fanatic]

4 pitch walk to Bruce.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Jay Bruce. On base MACHINE! 4 walks in past 2 games...so far.

[Reds Fanatic]

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

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez grounds out to short.

[Reds Fanatic]

Altuve singles to right.

[Reds Fanatic]

Altuve steals 2nd and goes to 3rd on a throwing error by Mesoraco.

[Reds Fanatic]

Maxwell strikes out swinging.

[_Sir_Charles_]

K

[_Sir_Charles_]

KK

[Reds Fanatic]

Johnson strikes out swinging. 0-0 after 1.

[WVRedsFan]

Bailey impressed me there.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Marty already talking about playoff pitching rotations. He thinks Cueto would pitch game 1, Homer game 2 and then pick 'em for game 3. Agree?

If that third pitcher is either Leake or Arroyo...I'd want them to break up the hard throwers. But right now I'd put Homer as our #2.

[WVRedsFan]

Let's get there first.

[RedsMan3203]

How about Cueto on 3 days rest?

[NJReds]

Bailey impressed me there.

I was about to post the same thing. He really got down to business after the stolen base and error. Did a nice job picking up his teammates there with two Ks.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Let's get there first.

I agree. Premature. I was just saying that I don't disagree.

[WVRedsFan]

I agree. Premature. I was just saying that I don't disagree.

Me either, but by then I hope Latos is throwing better.

[RedlegJake]

Third game I'd go with the veteran Arroyo. But I agree worry about getting there first

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen flies out to left.

[WVRedsFan]

I wouldn't let Bronson near a playoff game. Just my opinion.

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier strikes out swinging.

[WVRedsFan]

Norris is fooling everyone.

[Reds Fanatic]

Valdez grounds out to short. 0-0 mid 2nd.

[RedlegJake]

Making Norris look too good

[_Sir_Charles_]

Norris is fooling everyone.

When he's on his game, Norris is darned solid. He's just so darned inconsistent though.

[WVRedsFan]

Just our luck he's on tonight.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Just our luck he's on tonight.

You're not really complaining about our current luck...right? :O)

[WVRedsFan]

You're not really complaining about our current luck...right? :O)

Absolutely not! :)

[WVRedsFan]

You're not really complaining about our current luck...right? :O)

Absolutely not! :)

[Reds Fanatic]

Moore walks

Martinez singles to right.

[WVRedsFan]

You're not really complaining about our current luck...right? :O)

[_Sir_Charles_]

Yessirree!

[WVRedsFan]

Board doing crazy things again tonight. That last post--I didn't make it. The one before took a couple of minutes to post and then both appeared. Strange.

[Reds Fanatic]

Corporan pops out to short. 0-0 after 2.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Yep. For me too. And BossHog posted a bit earlier that the issue was fixed from what his server told him. Maybe they're still looking into it.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Just out of curiosity...do the Reds have any hits? We're not being NO HIT are we? (that should do it)

[alloverjr]

Just out of curiosity...do the Reds have any hits? We're not being NO HIT are we? (that should do it)

Not enough.

[WVRedsFan]

Yes. No hitter going on now. Ho hitter.

[RedsfaninMT]

Just out of curiosity...do the Reds have any hits? We're not being NO HIT are we? (that should do it)

Hmmm. I recall a walk to Bruce, but the Reds are definitely being no hit.

[WVRedsFan]

Good job, Charles

[_Sir_Charles_]

Thank you! I'll be here all week. *takes a bow*

[Reds Fanatic]

Just out of curiosity...do the Reds have any hits? We're not being NO HIT are we? (that should do it)

Nice job. Now lets work on the shutout.

Mesoraco singles.

[alloverjr]

Good job guys. A rocket...

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey sacrifices the runner to 2nd.

[WVRedsFan]

Da bunt.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice job. Now lets work on the shutout.

Mesoraco singles.

Shutout? We're being shutout? You don't say. Shocking...a lack of runs.

(a bit more?) :O)

[WVRedsFan]

We're being SHUTOUT?

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart strikes out swinging. 4 Ks for Norris.

[WVRedsFan]

Cozart -- the black hole.

[Brutus]

Hanley tripled and scored in his debut tonight for the Dodgers against St. Louis.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart -- the black hole.

Cozart now 2 for 13 this series after being moved back to leadoff

[_Sir_Charles_]

WOO HOO! We're on FIRE WV! :O)

[kaldaniels]

Drew gets an extra strike...and knocks in a run.

[WVRedsFan]

Drew -- the black hole 2 not. RBI Reds

[Reds Fanatic]

Bloop hit. There goes the shutout. 1-0 Reds.

[WVRedsFan]

Keep it up, Charles!

[_Sir_Charles_]

I can't believe we haven't batted around yet. Good lord...the lack of grand slams tonight is staggering. :O)

[Kc61]

Maybe the tide is turning on Stubbs.

That time, he had a check swing that might have been a strike. He had a ball called that might have been a strike. Could have been strike three and strike four.

But his luck may be changing and he then gets a hit and RBI. No substitute for luck.

[WVRedsFan]

We haven't batted around?

[WVRedsFan]

Maybe the tide is turning on Stubbs.

That time, he had a check swing that might have been a strike. He had a ball called that might have been a strike. Could have been strike three and strike four.

But his luck may be changing and he then gets a hit and RBI. No substitute for luck.

He had nowhere to go but up, though.

[_Sir_Charles_]

We haven't batted around?

I know! In one inning we STILL haven't sent every batter to the plate. They should be ashamed of themselves. :lol:

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce flies out to left. 1-0 Reds mid 3rd.

[WVRedsFan]

Oh well, 2 out of 3 isn't bad.

[Kc61]

Patented medium fly ball for Bruce.

[_Sir_Charles_]

*sigh* And my magical powers fizzle out. :O)

[_Sir_Charles_]

Maybe the tide is turning on Stubbs.

That time, he had a check swing that might have been a strike. He had a ball called that might have been a strike. Could have been strike three and strike four.

But his luck may be changing and he then gets a hit and RBI. No substitute for luck.

FWIW...game day had them as balls or strikes by a stitch. They were pretty much all either outside or borderline.

[WVRedsFan]

What dd they used to call Minute Maid Park?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Enron. I guess you could imagine why they changed it. LOL.

[Reds Fanatic]

Norris flies out to center.

[Kc61]

The good news is that the Pirates now go on the road.

The bad news is that the Pirates now go to Houston.

[WVRedsFan]

Enron

Thought so. Wow. From a scheme to orange juice.

[Reds Fanatic]

4 pitch walk to Gonzalez.

[Reds Fanatic]

Altuve singles to center.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Janish would've had that. :D Phillips would've barehanded it into a DP.

[Kc61]

Two men on for Stros, Homer at 45 pitches in third inning with one out.

[WVRedsFan]

Walks will haunt

[WVRedsFan]

But not this time

[Kc61]

Walks will haunt

Not necessarily. DP.

[Reds Fanatic]

6-4-3 DP. 1-0 Reds after 3.

[_Sir_Charles_]

YESSIRREE!!!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ludwick with a lead off single. Okay, let's hit around THIS inning.

[Reds Fanatic]

Broken bat bloop single to left for Ludwick

[WVRedsFan]

Ludwick passes Jay in average

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen flies out to right.

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier singles to left. 1st and 2nd.

[WVRedsFan]

Interesting. No hits from lead off and lots of hits lower in the order.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ludwick passes Jay in average

He passed Valdez too. Which is more impressive? One of the questions for the ages. :O)

[Reds Fanatic]

Valdez lines out to 1st. Frazier just gets back.

[Reds Fanatic]

Mesoraco strikes out swinging. 1-0 Reds mid 4th.

[Kc61]

Mes usually has a better idea of the strike zone than that. Swings at a pitch a foot outside. Inning over.

[Reds Fanatic]

Johnson lines out to short.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Who was it that taught Homer the Splitter? It wasn't LeCure...but it was a pitcher at Louisville. Can't recall.

[Reds Fanatic]

Moore strikes out swinging.

[_Sir_Charles_]

KKK

[OnBaseMachine]

Who was it that taught Homer the Splitter? It wasn't LeCure...but it was a pitcher at Louisville. Can't recall.

Justin Lehr.

[Reds Fanatic]

Martinez flies out to right. 1-0 Reds after 4.

[Patrick Bateman]

Who was it that taught Homer the Splitter? It wasn't LeCure...but it was a pitcher at Louisville. Can't recall.

My memory says Justin Lehr for some reason.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Thank you OBM. And Patrick.

[Kc61]

Homer at 59 pitches.

[WVRedsFan]

Homer with a good inning.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey strikes out looking. 6 Ks for Norris

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart flies out to right.

[Kc61]

Somebody tell Cozart he's not Janish.

[WVRedsFan]

Janish in disguise.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs strikes out. 7 Ks. 1-0 Reds mid 5th.

[WVRedsFan]

Norris at 81 pitches through five.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Norris at 79 pitches. We'll see the pen soon. He rarely gets over 100....or even TO 100.

Oh, well WV says 81. Gameday has 79. I like his number better. :O)


~edit~ wow. My memory fooled me on that one. He's gone to 100 or more in half his starts. Apparently I've seen the OTHER starts.

[WVRedsFan]

Norris at 79 pitches. We'll see the pen soon. He rarely gets over 100....or even TO 100.

Oh, well WV says 81. Gameday has 79. I like his number better. :O)

Following on the box score on Espn.com. Now they change it to 79. Who knows?

[Reds Fanatic]

Bogusevic grounds out to 2nd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Following on the box score on Espn.com. Now they change it to 79. Who knows?

No big deal. That 100 thing was irrelevant anyway. He DOES go to 100 or more alot more than I recalled.

[Gallen5862]

Thanks for the pbp.

[Reds Fanatic]

Corporan walks on 4 pitches. 3 walks by Bailey tonight.

[WVRedsFan]

Homer walking too many tonight with only a one run lead.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Thanks for the pbp.

LOL. Gallen...you should make that your sig. :O) I kid.

[Kc61]

Pitcher swinging away here. Unusual.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Not quite. Beat out the DP.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Homer walking too many tonight with only a one run lead.

As usual. If Homer's strike:ball ratio is less than 2:1, he scuffles. If he's over that...he's money.

The difference is that when he scuffles now...he battles through it.

[_Sir_Charles_]

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez strikes out swinging. 4 Ks for Bailey. 1-0 Reds after 5.

[WVRedsFan]

Pitcher swinging away here. Unusual.

Mills not a advocate of da bunt?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Mills not a advocate of da bunt?

No, he'll bunt. But Norris is beyond atrocious at it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce flies out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick lines out to 3rd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Cards up 2-1 now in the 5th.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Darn. Rolen robbed. Nearly a dinger to right.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen just missed. Flys out to the wall in right. 1-0 Reds mid 6th.

[757690]

Feeling somewhat comfortable with the middle of the lineup these days the way Ludwick and Rolen are swinging the bat.

[Reds Fanatic]

Altuve walks.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Homer got jobbed on that one. Clearly a strikeout.

[RedsMan3203]

Anyone having HD feed problems on DirecTV?

[Reds Fanatic]

Anyone having HD feed problems on DirecTV?

Looks fine here. I had some earlier issues due to weather in the area but it looks good now.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Anyone having HD feed problems on DirecTV?

No. But then I don't have DirecTV. :p

[kbrake]

Anyone have a pitch count for Homer?

[Reds Fanatic]

Infield hit for Maxwell. 1st and 2nd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Crud. Rolen can't get the handle and it's men on 1st & 2nd.

Homer at 83

Rolen charged with an error. Marty pretty pissed about it.

[kbrake]

Thanks Sir Charles. Bad scoring decisions really tend to get Marty going haha.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Thanks Sir Charles. Bad scoring decisions really tend to get Marty going haha.

Well, I don't know if it was a bad call or not. Blacked out here.

[_Sir_Charles_]

YES! Ball got away from Mes...throws to 2nd and nails the runner. Altuve to third.

[Reds Fanatic]

What a throw by Mesoraco! A pitch in the dirt. He recovers and nails the runner at 2nd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

[Reds Fanatic]

Johnson strikes out looking. 5 Ks.

[NJReds]

Johnson strikes out looking. 5 Ks.

Johnson stared down Homer and had some words for him. I can't figure out why, though. The pitch was right down the middle.

[_Sir_Charles_]

[Reds Fanatic]

Moore strikes out swinging. 6 Ks. 1-0 Reds after 6.

[NJReds]

Homer goes up the ladder with a 94 MPH fastball to end the inning in style.

[WVRedsFan]

Gotta hand it to Homer. Bearing down when he needs to.

[Cedric]

Johnson stared down Homer and had some words for him. I can't figure out why, though. The pitch was right down the middle.

I think Homer was excited that inning and made a comment about Johnson heading to first on that 3-2 pitch. I think Homer might have nicely told him to sit down.

[CrackerJack]

Bailey with a little attitude there, like it.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Homer at 94. For a guy who's struggling with the strikezone tonight...he's really fought his way through it nicely.

[RedsMan3203]

Thanks guys... The storm isn't close to me, yet its acting like its next door... Just keeps freezing up (video only) Audio is fan.

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier flies out to center.

[CrackerJack]

We got the full "high socks" on the bench report from Jim Day, always fascinating and insightful stuff, can't get enough of the sock talk.

[Big Klu]

Johnson stared down Homer and had some words for him. I can't figure out why, though. The pitch was right down the middle.

Homer should respond the way Kenny Powers would, "You're [bleep]ing out!" :D

[WVRedsFan]

Norris getting better. Rats!

[Reds Fanatic]

Valdez grounds out to the pitcher.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Underhanded to first from the mound? Odd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Dang. Mes just missed it. Double off the wall below the crawford boxes.

[Reds Fanatic]

Mesoraco doubles off the wall in left. His 2nd hit tonight.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I would've considered PH here. Homer right around 100. He's struggled with his control. Man in scoring position.

Almost with a hit though. But Altuve gets it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey pops out to 2nd. 1-0 Reds mid 7th.

[WVRedsFan]

I thought tat had a chance to drop in. Silly me. This HD feed is horrible and has been all series.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Cards & Dodgers tied up at 2 each in the 6th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Thanks guys... The storm isn't close to me, yet its acting like its next door... Just keeps freezing up (video only) Audio is fan.

Yes I am starting to see some issues with the picture freezing too.

[Reds Fanatic]

Martinez strikes out looking on 3 pitches. 7 Ks for Bailey

[bellhead]

Homer is dealing..

[Reds Fanatic]

This is another night where Bailey's velocity is going up as the game goes on.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bogusevic singles to center.

[OnBaseMachine]

I would have the bullpen ready in case Corporan reaches.

[bellhead]

That was nasty..

[Kc61]

Homer at 103 pitches. Let's get through this inning, bottom of the order, and then go to the bullpen.

Homer has had a number of high leverage innings in this game. Wouldn't push it tonight.

[757690]

Welsh talking about Bailey possibly being the Reds #2 starter if they make the playoffs. I'd say okay to that if the Reds get play the Astros or Padres in the first round ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Bogusevic steals 2nd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Alright. Time for Captain Hook. He's fought hard...but it's a 1 run lead.

[WVRedsFan]

Time to take him out, guys.

[Reds Fanatic]

Corporan walks. 5th walk of the night for Bailey

[Reds Fanatic]

Francisco pinch hitting. Schafer running for Corporan

[bellhead]

wow

A's puttin the skunk on the Blue Jays... 16 to 0..

[Reds Fanatic]

Francisco helps by swinging at the first pitch and flys out to center.

[Kc61]

Francisco helps by swinging at the first pitch and flys out to center.

Terrible at bat.

[757690]

I'm sticking with Bailey. Perfect time to build confidence, no matter the results.

[OnBaseMachine]

I would go to the bullpen here.

[AmarilloRed]

Dusty been letting him work himself out of trouble-I think he lets him go the inning.

[Kc61]

I would go to the bullpen here.

Didn't see a lefty getting warm. I'd stick with Homer.

[WVRedsFan]

Picture is jumping here

[WVRedsFan]

Good job, Homer

[_Sir_Charles_]

*whew* Way to battle Homie.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez grounds out to 2nd. 1-0 Reds after 7. Bailey continues to walk the tightrope tonight.

Now 8 runners left on for the Astros

[Kc61]

Wonderful outing by Homer. Suddenly, he is like Houdini with men on base. Just like Arroyo who is at his best in jams.

Would go to the pen in the eighth.

[kaldaniels]

NL Pitcher of the Month?

If not Bailey, who?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Gonzalez grounds out to 2nd. 1-0 Reds after 7. Bailey continues to walk the tightrope tonight.

Now 8 runners left on for the Astros

Yep. Season high 5 walks from Homer tonight. I'm sure he's done though. This is the first game in quite a while when he didn't have great control.

[Reds Fanatic]

Del Rosario in to pitch

Chris Snyder in to catch

[_Sir_Charles_]

Enerio Del Rosario in. As is Snyder behind the dish.

~edit~ Missed it by THAT much. /Maxwell Smart voice

[Reds Fanatic]

4 pitch walk to Stubbs

[alloverjr]

Enerio Del Rosario in. As is Snyder behind the dish.

Reds should pound this guy

[Kc61]

With Cozart on base, Stubbs bunts at first pitch. Didn't come close to making contact. Just let him swing.

[_Sir_Charles_]

4 pitch walk to Stubbs

Cozart.

[Kc61]

Bogus call there.

[Reds Fanatic]

That was a gift out. No way. Gonzalez dropped the throw to 2nd and they are calling that a fielder's chioice.

[Reds Fanatic]

That ball was never in the glove.

[Reds Fanatic]

Xavier Cedeno in to pitch

[Kc61]

Just a terrible call.

[hebroncougar]

Terrible call. That wasn't close.

Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2

[Kc61]

Hopefully one of the umps will tell the second base ump he blew the call.

Then hopefully the Reds will get a makeup call somewhere in this game.

In a close game like this, that call really stings.

Awful.

[OnBaseMachine]

Awful, awful call. Reds should have runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce singles to left. Should have the bases loaded now.

[Reds Fanatic]

Another pitching change. Fernando Rodriguez in

[DGullett35]

Maybe they were making up for the no call Norris got on the should have been strike to Stubbs when the Reds scored that inning. He got a strike call then threw the exact same pitch and it was a ball. Next pitch after that and Stubbs doubles

[_Sir_Charles_]

Check gameday. They were NOT clear-cut strikes. They were closer to balls than anything. They "might" have caught the very edge of the black. Of course that's just gameday...so take it FWIW.

[Kc61]

Don't know if Stros would have used the shift on Bruce with two men on.

So can't tell if Bruce would have loaded the bases, got an RBI, hit into a DP, or what if things had worked out differently.

But you hate to see the Reds potentially lose a key run because of an umpire's decision like that.

[DGullett35]

Check gameday. They were NOT clear-cut strikes. They were closer to balls than anything. They "might" have caught the very edge of the black. Of course that's just gameday...so take it FWIW.

They did look outside but Norris got the one call and the same pitch after should have been strike 3. Im glad it worked out for the Reds but the pitches were identical and should have been called identical

[_Sir_Charles_]

DOUBLE STEAL! Woohoo!

[Reds Fanatic]

Double steal on a ball off the catchers glove

[WVRedsFan]

Just lost the board about five minutes ago. Big problems tonight apparently.

[DGullett35]

Reds running alot this series or should I say more than usual. I think I heard we were 2nd to last in the NL in steals

[Kc61]

Stubbs could be such a good player if he could make more contact. Runs great, fields great. Big play stealing there.

[_Sir_Charles_]

IBB to Ludwick. Bases jacked for Rolen.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick walks. Bases loaded for Rolen

[WVRedsFan]

Please, no DP

[DGullett35]

Cmon scotty. Last time he was up with the bags juiced he came threw big time

[Kc61]

Point made on telecast that each baserunner was allowed by a different Stros pitcher.

[_Sir_Charles_]

BIG HIT! 1 scores, Jay thrown out at the dish on a good throw.

[Reds Fanatic]

Big hit. Rolen singles to right. Bruce is thrown out at home. 2-0 Reds.

[Kc61]

Reds should have three runs this inning. Too bad Bruce was thrown out at home. But 2-0.

[DGullett35]

Scotty comin through when it counts here lately

[Reds Fanatic]

Frazier pops out to 2nd on the first pitch. 2-0 Reds mid 8th.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Scottymatic? Nah. :D

[DGullett35]

Whos comin in to pitch. Im readin the game thread since Im at work. No tv or radio

[WVRedsFan]

Disappointing at bat for Frazier. Was Bruce hustling down the line? My dish burped and missed it.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Whos comin in to pitch. Im readin the game thread since Im at work. No tv or radio

Valdez :O)

[Kc61]

Disappointing at bat for Frazier. Was Bruce hustling down the line? My dish burped and missed it.

Bruce was a dead duck. Should have been held up.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ondrusek in.

[WVRedsFan]

Bruce was a dead duck. Should have been held up.

I figured it was Berry

[PuffyPig]

Stubbs scores in an attempt to go 35-2 IIRC.

[DGullett35]

Valdez :O)

He plays everywhere else. He pitched against us in the 19 innnig game right? lol
