[Homer Bailey]

Reds win 5-3 thanks and good night.

[OnBaseMachine]

Reds win 5-3 thanks and good night.

You're my hero if you nail this one too.

[Tadasimha]

Reds win 5-3 thanks and good night.

Thanks for this - I have to work tonight and now I don't have to sneak away to check on the score! :laugh:

[Kc61]

Reds win 5-3 thanks and good night.

Arroyo against the Phils lefties allows three runs?

Thanks, I'll take it. Put it in the books, as they say.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Homer, put this back in the garage when you're done with it next time. :(

[Homer Bailey]

I should have pulled a Costanza and just left on top after last night:

Seinfeld - George goes out on a high note - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O27RzZEOkeA)

[Tom Servo]

Somebody really should tell the Reds announcers that it's kinda cheating to call Frazier a 'hometown guy' for both NYC and Philadelphia, especially since he's from Jersey.

[Tom Servo]

Phillies and Reds both sporting 80s throwbacks tonight.


Cozart grounds out to pitcher.

[Plus Plus]

I love the uniforms that the Reds are wearing tonight- wow!

Change to these, please!

[Tom Servo]

Stubbs K's


BP grounds to short, but Rollins throws it away. BP safe at first.


Ludwick singles to left, BP to third. 1st and 3rd, two outs.

[Tom Servo]

Bruce foul tip K's.


To the bottom of 1.

[RedsfaninMT]

Bruce K's, but made Worley work. 22 pitches in the first.

Seems like that's usually followed by a 7 pitch second.

[Tom Servo]

Rollins flies out to left.
Pierre grounds out to second.
Utley K's.


Good start for Bronson. 0-0 after 1.

[Tom Servo]

Rolen lines out softly to 2nd.

Frazier singles to right.

Hanigan grounds to short, Frazier out at 2nd.


Arroyo robbed by Domonic Brown in right on a diving catch. Brown looks fairly terrible in the OF.


0-0 to the bottom of 2.

[Gizmo]

damn, so close

[Kc61]

Padres lead the Pirates 3-0 through three. I thought it would be a tough series, but wow.

[kaldaniels]

Nice catch, but it smelled like an Edmonds.

[Kc61]

Nice catch, but it smelled like an Edmonds.

I thought Brown needed to dive. Not a showboat play.

Of course, Stubbs would have caught it in stride with no problem.

[Tom Servo]

Howard K's
Mayberry grounds out to short.
Brown pops out to 3B in shallow left.

9 pitch inning for Bronson.

0-0 after 2.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bronson looking very solid. Keep it going.

[Kc61]

Pirates get a run in the fourth, 3-1 mid four, Jones thrown out on bases to end inning.

[Tom Servo]

Cozart leadoff single to left

[Tom Servo]

Cozart thrown out at 2nd after a ball dribbles away from Schneider.

Stubbs K's looking.

[kaldaniels]

Very close on the slow mo replay.

[Homer Bailey]

Cozy looked pretty darn safe to me.

[VR]

This leadoff duo has been a bear all year.

Cozart should be buried at 7 or 8.....we'd be thrilled with him.

[Tom Servo]

BP flies out to center.

0-0 to the bottom of 3.

[Kc61]

This leadoff duo has been bear all year.

Cozart should be buried at 7 or 8.....we'd be thrilled with him.

Stubbs right now, where should he hit?

[Tom Servo]

Polanco grounds out to short.

[VR]

Stubbs right now, where should he hit?

Louisville? :)

It really is tough, because neither of them are top of the order guys.

I think Phillips/ Stubbs/ Votto/ Beethoven/ Bruce/ Rolen/ Cozy/ Hanny makes the most sense for the playoffs....with Cozy and Stubby being candidates to be PH for in late innings by Frazier or Rolen the first time a RISP comes up from the 7th on.

[Tom Servo]

Schneider flies out to left

[RedsMan3203]

Louisville? :)

It really is tough, because neither of them are top of the order guys.

I think Phillips/ Stubbs/ Votto/ Beethoven/ Bruce/ Rolen/ Cozy/ Hanny makes the most sense for the playoffs....with Cozy and Stubby being candidates to be PH for in late innings by Frazier or Rolen the first time a RISP comes up from the 7th on.

I must not be up to date on nicknames... Who the heck is Beethoven?

[Tom Servo]

Worley K's.

0-0 after 3.

[VR]

I must not be up to date on nicknames... Who the heck is Beethoven?

Ryan Ludwick

http://modern.zp.ua/useruploads/img/27des/1.jpg

[VR]

Does Arroyo have a gig tonight?

He's dealin', hope the Reds put a lot on the board for him tonight.

[Tom Servo]

Ludwick grounds out to 2nd.

[Tom Servo]

Bruce triples as Brown loses the ball!

[Homer Bailey]

When I say Bruce knows how Brown feels....

[kaldaniels]

The Philly lights giveth and taketh away from Bruce.

[Wonderful Monds]

Yikes. Jay knows how that feels in that park, too.

[VR]

Bruce deserves a few breaks like that.

[Tom Servo]

Rolen HBP

[Wonderful Monds]

Surprise the Philly fans didn't give that a standing ovation.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

Phillies fans cheer when Rolen is hit in the arm. Phillies fans are ruthless. Rolen backhanded Philadelphia over 10 years ago.

[Wonderful Monds]

Welp

[Tom Servo]

Frazier flies out to right, Brown makes up for his error by gunning down Bruce at the plate to end the inning.

[kaldaniels]

I wouldn't call Bruce fast.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

That was a cannon to get Bruce. No bounce right on the money. Wow.

[REDSEER]

What a throw. Wow.

[Homer Bailey]

That was a missle.

[Wonderful Monds]

I wouldn't call Bruce fast.

It looks like he may have already lost a step or two.

[_Sir_Charles_]

That was a Bruce-like throw.

[dougdirt]

Billy Hamilton would have been out on that throw. :eek:

[Tom Servo]

Note to Reds: Next time, hit it to Juan Pierre.

[Brutus]

That must have been what the Phillies were waiting on with Brown, because he sure has yet to show anything with the bat.

[Wonderful Monds]

Todd really should've been holding all the way there tbh

[VR]

Don't dig the short fly out to right on a 3-0 swing.

Unless you can square that thing up.....take the pitch.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Billy Hamilton would have been out on that throw. :eek:

Exactly. Nothing about that throw should comment on the runners' speed.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

That must have been what the Phillies were waiting on with Brown, because he sure has yet to show anything with the bat.

And his defensive out in right is very poor. Looks like he is running in quicksand.

[Tom Servo]

Rollins flies out to left

[Wonderful Monds]

Those CBP lights must be brutal

[dougdirt]

That must have been what the Phillies were waiting on with Brown, because he sure has yet to show anything with the bat.

The Phillies messed that kids swing up big time. They were trying to fix it, because mechanically at least, it wasn't pretty, but it worked for him and he had gotten results with it. They tried to change it anyways and at least so far, it has been a terrible plan.

[Tom Servo]

Pierre grounds out to 2nd

[RedsfaninMT]

I know it's the thing to do to bash the players on here, but Bruce did not look that slow to me on that. Just an incredible, amazing throw in the air to nail the runner...and it wasn't even close.

[Wonderful Monds]

I really like that the Phils go all the way with their throwbacks by wearing the helmet. I usually can't stand throwback nights because hitters look ridiculous and mismatched with the helmet.

[Tom Servo]

Utley lines out to Cozart on a shift.

0-0 after 4.

[Wonderful Monds]

Bronson Arroyo doing a thing through 4 innings...

[Brutus]

The Phillies messed that kids swing up big time. They were trying to fix it, because mechanically at least, it wasn't pretty, but it worked for him and he had gotten results with it. They tried to change it anyways and at least so far, it has been a terrible plan.

It's kind of a shame because a few years ago, there were visions of sugar plumbs dancing in their heads with a LF-RF combo of Michael Taylor and Domonic Brown. But so far, neither have done anything. Taylor is barely even a prospect now.

[VR]

Arroyo unable to get through 4 under 40 pitches. If this game goes 12, the bullpen may have to be deployed.

Whatever Bronson.

[Wonderful Monds]

It's kind of a shame because a few years ago, there were visions of sugar plumbs dancing in their heads with a LF-RF combo of Michael Taylor and Domonic Brown. But so far, neither have done anything. Taylor is barely even a prospect now.

Didn't they trade Taylor to the A's?

[redsfaninbsg]

Philly hitters hacking tonight. Arroyo just 41 pitches through 4 innings, although with Bronson, I don't think it's as much the pitch count as the number of times the hitters see him in a particular game.

[Brutus]

Didn't they trade Taylor to the A's?

Yessir, he was included in the 3-team trade that involved Halladay.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Without saying the dreaded words, when was the last guy to do it for the Reds? Browning? Or did someone do it after Tom?

[Brutus]

The Dads get a run back from Pittsburgh, 4-1 in the 4th.

[redsfaninbsg]

Browning is the answer.

[Wonderful Monds]

Yessir, he was included in the 3-team trade that involved Halladay.

Wow, that was a lot longer ago than I thought.

[Brutus]

Browning is the answer.

And the question shall not be asked.

[CrackerJack]

Late to the party, but 20 year old me loves seeing these uni's again, as well as 42 year old me.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Browning is the answer.

I mean the basic version of course, not the Larson version.

[Tom Servo]

Hanigan walks

[redsfaninbsg]

What is this, Jeopardy?

[Wonderful Monds]

Vance Worley looks like he's having a nervous breakdown every time he sets. What's up with that.

[kaldaniels]

Exactly. Nothing about that throw should comment on the runners' speed.

As Doug said, Billy would have been thrown out. But Jay looked slow there, totally fair to notice that.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Vance Worley looks like he's having a nervous breakdown every time he sets. What's up with that.

Yeah, that glove shaking thing is strange.

[Tom Servo]

Arroyo sac bunt on 0-2 advances Hanigan to 2nd.

[Wonderful Monds]

Solid bunt by Bronson

[Virginia Beach Reds]

Overall, the Reds are not great at fundamentals at the dish. Arroyo did get it down though.

[_Sir_Charles_]

As Doug said, Billy would have been thrown out. But Jay looked slow there, totally fair to notice that.

Agree to disagree. He looked fine. He's not a speedster, but he's not Hanigan either. He's a very average runner. Which is fine in my book.

[kaldaniels]

Solid bunt by Bronson

Dusty should PH him if a bunt is needed.

[Tom Servo]

Cozart flies out to right.

[RedsfaninMT]

As Doug said, Billy would have been thrown out. But Jay looked slow there, totally fair to notice that.

Nobody was complaining about his speed, which got him on 3rd, on a fly ball to RF.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

Will Stubbs strikeout again?

[Wonderful Monds]

That strikeout looking thing Worley is leading had to be random variance right?

[kaldaniels]

Agree to disagree. He looked fine. He's not a speedster, but he's not Hanigan either. He's a very average runner. Which is fine in my book.

I totally view him as average, but he looked slow getting a jump there.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Hanigan should've tagged. What are the odds he throws two perfect bullets in a row? :O)

[Tom Servo]

Stubbs singles to right. Hanigan scores.

1-0 Reds.

[kaldaniels]

I was suprised to see Stubbs at 1.5 WAR on fangraphs today.

[WildcatFan]

Stubbs unclogs Hanigan from the bases.

[Wonderful Monds]

Camera guy is getting all avant garde with his zooming in and out

[Tom Servo]

BP singles.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Nice Drew!

And btw, I agree about the uni's. But I totally expect to see Paul O'Niell stroll out of the dugout.

[Homer Bailey]

I was suprised to see Stubbs at 1.5 WAR on fangraphs today.

CF's with his skills aren't that prevalent in baseball today. A point I've been trying to make for years regarding Stubbs.

[alloverjr]

I was suprised to see Stubbs at 1.5 WAR on fangraphs today.

Being fast gives you an automatic 1 WAR

[_Sir_Charles_]

And now Brandon. Keep it goin' boys!

[Tom Servo]

Ludwick singles to right. Stubbs scores!


2-0 Reds

[Wonderful Monds]

Heart skipped that time, looked like Drew took a hit at home

[kaldaniels]

Enough with the - when Stubbs scores - stat.

[Tom Servo]

Bruce fouls out to third.

2-0 Reds to the bottom of 5.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

Reds have figured out that Brown in right has a great arm, but slow on his feet. For an athletic looking guy, he sure can't run very well.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Heart skipped that time, looked like Drew took a hit at home

he did. Foot to the face.

(sorry, my feed is quite a bit behind...AGAIN) *sigh*

[_Sir_Charles_]

Enough with the - when Stubbs scores - stat.

I don't mind it. Mainly because when they say it, it usually means that we just scored. :beerme:

[kaldaniels]

Reds have figured out that Brown in right has a great arm, but slow on his feet. For an athletic looking guy, he sure can't run very well.

I thought he was lollygagging on the diving catch on Bronson's well hit ball...guess not.

[Tom Servo]

Howard grounds out into the shift.

[Brutus]

Very, very, very early, as in first inning early, the Astros lead St. Louis 1-0.

Padres still up 4-1 on Pittsburgh through 6

[RedsfaninMT]

WOW! Astros score in the top of the 1st, 1-0. Pirates trail 4-1.

I don't expect the Astros to win that game, but it would be mighty nice if they did.

[Tom Servo]

Mayberry grounds out to 2nd

[Tom Servo]

Brown homers.

2-1 game.

[RedsMan3203]

buh-bye.... Towering shot.

[Wonderful Monds]

Wouldn't give up on Dominic Brown just yet

[Wonderful Monds]

Ball got stuck in the backstop. That was weird.

[Brutus]

That didn't happen. Still a perfect game. I swear.

[backbencher]

RedsfaninMT - what do yo do in Bozeman? I just ate at the John Bozeman Bistro. Good place. Loved the Main Street book stores, too.

[Tom Servo]

Polanco flies out to center.

2-1 Redlegs after 5.

[Degenerate39]

Kelch jinxed that one. After every batter he'd say 11 up 11 down. 12 up 12 down etc

[_Sir_Charles_]

That didn't happen. Still a perfect game. I swear.

Well, now we're screwed. You said it.

[OldRightHander]

Kelch jinxed that one. After every batter he'd say 11 up 11 down. 12 up 12 down etc

Maybe he was hoping it would be remembered like Scully's perfect game call where he kept giving the time.

[Boss-Hog]

4-2 Padres now

[Kc61]

I was suprised to see Stubbs at 1.5 WAR on fangraphs today.

The baserunning component of that is 2.5. The total WAR is 1.5. So . . . .

[Tom Servo]

Rolen pops up near the mound on the first pitch.

[RedsfaninMT]

RedsfaninMT - what do yo do in Bozeman? I just ate at the John Bozeman Bistro. Good place. Loved the Main Street book stores, too.

Director of a nonprofit that teaches kids about science. Best restaurant we had (Boodles) blew up a couple years ago in a natural gas explosion. Amazingly, only killed one gal, but level several buildings.

Country Bookshelf is awesome. We give them a lot of business. My boy loves to read.

[_Sir_Charles_]

4-2 Padres now

Poor old Boss. He's gone round the bend. He's forgotten we follow the Reds here. *sigh* Did someone forget to leave out his meds? ;)

[OldRightHander]

Poor old Boss. He's gone round the bend. He's forgotten we follow the Reds here. *sigh* Did someone forget to leave out his meds? ;)

Astros up 1-0 as well, just in case anyone cares.

[Kc61]

4-2 Padres now

Youngster Werner pitched for the Pads, I had no expectation he would do this well, so 4-2 in the seventh is a good score.

Brach coming in, guy pitches every day, throws hard for a couple batters.

Go Pads.

[Tom Servo]

Frazier walks. Worley fears him.

[Wonderful Monds]

Almost makes me sick that Todd Frazier could see the bench at any point this season.

[Homer Bailey]

The baserunning component of that is 2.5. The total WAR is 1.5. So . . . .

No, the baserunning component is 2.5 runs above average. Not 2.5 wins.

[Tom Servo]

Hanigan singles to left.

[OldRightHander]

Single for Hanigan. Something going here.

[kaldaniels]

Shoulda umps called infield fly?

[Tom Servo]

Arroyo pops a bunt up, Worley lets it drop but the Phils screw it up and only get the out at 2nd. 1st and 3rd, two outs.

[Tom Servo]

Cozart flies out to right.

2-1 Reds to the bottom of 6.

[alloverjr]

Seems like the Reds have left a lot on the table tonight

[Tom Servo]

Schneider grounds out to 1st.

[Matt700wlw]

Seems like the Reds have left a lot on the table tonight

8, I think

[George Anderson]

Shoulda umps called infield fly?If

if it was a bunt then no.

[Tom Servo]

Laynce Nix Daynce Mix flyout to center

[Kc61]

Gameday reports that Arroyo has 56 pitches. Very efficient evening for him so far.

[Tom Servo]

Rollins flies out to center. Bronson making it look easy.

2-1 Reds after 6. Some insurance would be nice.

[Homer Bailey]

Sticking with my 5-3 Reds win prediction.

[Brutus]

Laynce Nix Daynce Mix flyout to center

Nix still look like a bad @## in his batting staynce.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Damn. I knew I spelled O'Neill wrong. I hate when I do that.

[Kc61]

8th inning for the Pads and Pirates, 4-2 SD.

[Brutus]

Louie birds have tied up Houston 1-1 in the 2nd. It's on to the 8th in San Diego where the Padres are still up 4-2 on Pittsburgh.

[Tom Servo]

Worley out, Lindblom in.

[Tom Servo]

Stubbs bunt is a diving catch by Howard.

[Kc61]

Ludwick is going to go deep.

[Homer Bailey]

This guy gives up a lot of walks and a ton of homers. Patience here please.

[WrongVerb]

Nice to see Stubbs trying to bunt his way on. Something different in his game, and something we need to see more of.

[Wonderful Monds]

Chris Welsh's brain just short circuited for a second.

[Tom Servo]

BP pops up to 2nd.

[Wonderful Monds]

This guy gives up a lot of walks and a ton of homers. Patience here please.

nope, lol.

[Tom Servo]

Chris Welsh's brain just short circuited for a second.

[The Operator]

They really need to stop bunting. Just scrap the bunt play altogether.

[Tom Servo]

Ludwick does not homer. He K's.

2-1 Redlegs to the bottom of 7.

[Homer Bailey]

Nice to see Stubbs trying to bunt his way on. Something different in his game, and something we need to see more of.

Wholeheartedly disagree. I never understood fan's obsession with bunting for hits. At best it gets you one base, and they aren't executed at a very successful rate.

[Kc61]

Ludwick does not homer. He K's.

2-1 Redlegs to the bottom of 7.

I meant to say "sometime in the near future." Sorry.

[Wonderful Monds]

Wholeheartedly disagree. I never understood fan's obsession with bunting for hits. At best it gets you one base, and they aren't executed at a very successful rate.

Most players aren't as fast as Drew Stubbs though.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Love the way Bronson's pitching, love the way we're hitting, not so in love with the timing of said hits.

[Kc61]

Astros lead Cards 2-1. Snyder homer for Stros.

Go Stros.

[OldRightHander]

Most players aren't as fast as Drew Stubbs though.

I like that speed more on a gap shot.

[Kc61]

Pirates out in the eighth.

Gregerson is a good reliever, has pitched every game.

McCutchen out of the way, made the last out.

[Tom Servo]

Pierre grounds out to 2nd.

Utley grounds out to 1st.

[Wonderful Monds]

I like that speed more on a gap shot.

He doesn't have to do it every time up. But if he does it enough that the 3B has to cheat in all the time he's hitting, he gains a big advantage there.

[The Operator]

Bronson may go the whole game at this rate, as long as he keeps his stuff.

[The Operator]

K

[Homer Bailey]

My goodness that 2-2 pitch was strike 3.

edit: i'm late, doesn't matter

[Tom Servo]

Howard K's.

2-1 Redlegs after 7.

[Kc61]

71 pitches for Arroyo through seven innings.

[_Sir_Charles_]

This is the best I've seen Bronson look in quite a while. Just great snap on the breaking balls, really mixing his pitches well (as usual), and just pinpoint control. Love it.

Now put some more crooked numbers up on the board offense!!!!

[Brutus]

Well, hopefully Arroyo can get through the 8th and then have Aroldis on standby just in case.

[WrongVerb]

He doesn't have to do it every time up. But if he does it enough that the 3B has to cheat in all the time he's hitting, he gains a big advantage there.

Exactly.

Plus it isn't like Stubbs is all that successful swinging away anyway. Why not try to lay a few down on occasion?

[Brutus]

Tommy Layne is on in the 9th for the Padres to try and close it down. Unfortunately he will not be facing Laynce Nix.

[Kc61]

Baker: Hey Bronson, want to go nine?

Arroyo: If not, who pitches the ninth?

Baker: I thought maybe Broxton?

Arroyo: Nah, who else you got?

Baker: Maybe Marshall?

Arroyo: Any other choices?

Baker: Well, Chapman had Monday off.

Arroyo: Deal.

[Tom Servo]

Bruce! :jump:

Crushed! 3-1 Reds.

[_Sir_Charles_]

BOOM! :jump: BRUUUUUUCE! Second decker!

[RedsMan3203]

Now... That wasn't a cheap shot....

[WrongVerb]

WOW!

[membengal]

Didn't go far enough. Only two decks.

[Homer Bailey]

WHOAAAAAAA

[Brutus]

The Padres just got Garrett Jones out at the same time Bruce hit the homer. Double whammy.

[Wonderful Monds]

Jesus.

[Matt700wlw]

Blast. Bomb. See ya. Bye Bye!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Hanigan asking Jay, "hey, can you teach me how to do that?" :O)

[Tom Servo]

Tommy Layne is on in the 9th for the Padres to try and close it down. Unfortunately he will not be facing Laynce Nix.
Tommy Layne Commie Train

[Tom Servo]

Rolen flies out to right.

[Brutus]

Pirates are down to their final out in the 9th.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

That was a Griffey-like swing from Bruce. Wow. Natural power on a cookie.

[Tom Servo]

Frazier pops up to 3rd.

Hanigan with a 2 out single to center.

[Brutus]

Pirates LOSE!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ryan really swinging the bat well. Solid single to left center.

[Tom Servo]

Arroyo lines out a diving Polanco at 3B.

3-1 Redlegs to the bottom of 8.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Polanco robs Bronson. He can't buy a hit tonight. Two great snags on his hard hit balls. Brown and now Polanco.

[kaldaniels]

Pirates LOSE!

They are on the brink of us not needing to pay attention to them.

[WrongVerb]

They are on the brink of us not needing to pay attention to them.

The Reds already have the biggest lead of any division in baseball.

The goal is 7 games up with 6 to play.

[Brutus]

They are on the brink of us not needing to pay attention to them.

I know, and I hope that's not the case only from the standpoint I'd still like to see them stay competitive and beat out St. Louis for the wildcard.

[Kc61]

They are on the brink of us not needing to pay attention to them.

Dusty needs to use Chapman again if necessary to pin this down. Then tomorrow he can rest.

[Tom Servo]

Mayberry grounds out to short

[_Sir_Charles_]

Dusty needs to use Chapman again if necessary to pin this down. Then tomorrow he can rest.

IF he has to. Right now Bronson's on cruise control. He's totally dominant right now.

Brown is the only guy who's gotten good swings off him. And again with the double.

[Homer Bailey]

That wasn't an especially difficult play, but man, Cozart is really, really solid at short.

[Tom Servo]

Brown doubles. Bronson hung that one.

[OldRightHander]

Test Brown for PEDs?

[Wonderful Monds]

He really loafed around the basepaths that time.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

Welsh, I'm pretty sure that's the fastest Brown can run. Watch his play in the field.

[Tom Servo]

What the hell was that? What is wrong with this ballpark?

[Kc61]

Rolen boots it. Arroyo's 80th pitch.

Tough luck on that one.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I hate this infield. Horrid!

[Brutus]

Up until that error, Arroyo had a perfect game going if you imagine a cardboard cutout hitting in place of Domonic Brown.

[Tom Servo]

Polanco reached on error. 1st and 2nd for Philadelphia, 1 out and Schneider up.

[_Sir_Charles_]

*picturing a 4-6-3 in my mind right now*

[Tadasimha]

Need a 6-4-3 here.

There's Waldo!

[Wonderful Monds]

Somebody better be warming. Things go belly up with Bronson in the blink of an eye.

[Kc61]

Reds infielders probably can't wait to leave Philly. Just so many bad hops.

Replay clearly showed the bad hop there.

Broxton in the pen.

[CrackerJack]

This field seems like a nightmare if you're not used to playing on it - short grass, weird hops, etc.., I expect nothing less from that franchise.

[George Foster]

keep it down

or walk him...he's a lefty

[RedsMan3203]

Yeah buddddddddy!

[Tom Servo]

Double Play!!!!!


3-1 Reds after 8.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Woohoo! Love it!!!

[Tadasimha]

NIIIIIIIIIIICE!

[Kc61]

One of these days the bare hand play is going to cost Phillips.

But not that time.

Brilliant second baseman.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow! What a DP

[reds44]

MERCY! What a turn!

[Homer Bailey]

WHOAAAAA!!!!

[Gizmo]

6-4-3 was the right answer.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I called the wrong order though. :-(

[CrackerJack]

BP - beauty, don't question his defense

[Virginia Beach Reds]

Now that is a DP!! Wow. Cozart and BP with a nice scoop from ROY. Brilliant all the way around.

[kaldaniels]

Send Bronson back out and try to get by without anyone getting up in the bullpen.

[WrongVerb]

Great play! I'm loving this game!

[reds44]

I'm sending BA back out there with Chapman getting hot.

[Homer Bailey]

Who is due up for Philly?

[RedsMan3203]

I'm sending BA back out there with Chapman getting hot.

If he is gonna get "hot" just go ahead and put him in....

[Tom Servo]

Who is due up for Philly?
Pitcher spot, Rollins, Pierre.

[reds44]

Who is due up for Philly?
