Will they be able to play today? Forecast is ugly.

[Chip R]

Will they be able to play today? Forecast is ugly.

It's dark out but it's not raining.

[RedsMan3203]

With everything going on with the Wild Card, they get this game in.....At some point today....

[kbrake]

FSO carrying this game?

[cumberlandreds]

FSO carrying this game?


Yes.

I checked Weather.com and it said no rain until tonight. I didn't see any on the radar either. I believe they will get this one in without too much of a problem.

[CySeymour]

Anyone hear any latest update on how Dusty is doing?

[RedsMan3203]

Anyone hear any latest update on how Dusty is doing?

Supposed to be working a few hours a day until he returns to the dug out for the Stl series.

[KittyDuran]

Yes.

Really overcast but no rain...6319

[NJReds]

1-0 Brewers going to the bottom of the fourth.

Gomez HR is Milwaukee's only hit.
Stubbs has a single for the Reds only hit.

[powersackers]

Another game where our pitching must be nearly flawless to win? 5 Runs is an offensive explosion, and that doesn't happen often. 57% of the time this team scores 4 runs or less. 41% 3 runs or less.

[Tadasimha]

Peralta pulled suddenly.

[cumberlandreds]

latos pulled after 7. Marshall pitches a 1-2-3 8th. Still 1-0 Brewers.

[NJReds]

Latos finishes the day: 7 IP, 3 H,1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K and 89 pitches.

[Tom Servo]

lol this game thread

[powersackers]

Latos finishes the day: 7 IP, 3 H,1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K and 89 pitches.

And in line for his 5th loss. Facepalm.

[cumberlandreds]

Reds go out in order in the 8th. Looks like they just want the regular season to end.

[cumberlandreds]

lol this game thread


If you just looked at this game thread without a date you would think it was a game late in the season from 2001-2009. There were a few of these like this back in those days.

[Tadasimha]

lol this game thread

What's the record for shortest game thread?

[cumberlandreds]

Broxton in. Holdem here and maybe Cozart will bloop one and Votto will blast one.

[Tom Servo]

Not holding them so far. 2 on, no out.

[kbrake]

Someone has to get to that Braun fly ball to RF.

[Tom Servo]

Nice job by Brox!

[OesterPoster]

Rally time!

[Tom Servo]

Cozart strikes out looking
Votto strikes out swinging

[Tom Servo]

Fraizer! :jump:


Tie game!

Another game where our pitching must be nearly flawless to win?

I blame the howl.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Dang. Straighten THAT out Navarro. An absolute bomb...foul.

[Tom Servo]

Another one crushed by Navarro but foul.

[Tom Servo]

Navarro delivers! We're good again! :beerme:

[OesterPoster]

Oh baby!!!!

[Degenerate39]

I like Navarro

[_Sir_Charles_]

Dang. He did it again. Just an absolute rocket shot, pulled foul.

[Tom Servo]

Where would this team be without Dioner Navarro? :)

[Kc61]

Unreal

[powersackers]

Wow!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Wow. 2 pulled foul that were absolutely crushed and then a gapper to walk it off! :O)

[UKFlounder]

Its disturbing when they shoot off those darn fireworks when I'm on the phone in the buidling across the street.

(But I like being disturbed and am sad that it won't happen again this year (I mean while I'm working during the day)

[SirFelixCat]

That was a fun finish!

[Tom Servo]

Wow. 2 pulled foul that were absolutely crushed and then a gapper to walk it off! :O)
Weird thing is he did the same thing in Arizona a few weeks back, where he hammered a would-be homer just foul just before he then homered.

[Degenerate39]

Need a translator out there lol

[_Sir_Charles_]

LOL. That was great. Latos NAILED Navarro. :O)

[UKFlounder]

Another decision that seemed questionable at the time but has worked well so far. I like Des, but Dioner has been a great addition


Where would this team be without Dioner Navarro? :)

[HeatherC1212]

YAY FOR WINNING!!! Who cares if it took until the ninth inning?! :jump:

[VR]

In 10 minutes, the # of gamethread posts doubled...from 24 to 48.

[Tadasimha]

DOUBLE YES!!

[fearofpopvol1]

That was an impressive win. Anytime you can win in the 9th inning and win the series, that's awesome.

Now, let's hope for a Washington loss this evening.

[HeatherC1212]

In 10 minutes, the # of gamethread posts doubled...from 24 to 48.

LOL! I was following along but I'm at work and was trying very hard to look like I was actually working instead of following the game here. Now I don't care anymore, LOL :p :beerme:

[Reds Fanatic]

Another great start by Latos today. He is one big reason I like this teams chances in OCtober. You need starters to just dominate in October and he is on a roll right now.

[traderumor]

YAY FOR WINNING!!! Who cares if it took until the ninth inning?! :jump:They were just toying with the Brewers, giving them false hope. Buh-bye Brewers. One win away from my preseason prediction. How's everyone else doing?

[UKFlounder]

I went pessmistic and said 76 or 77 or something like that.

They blew by that before September started, I think

:lol:

In the same time, the number of things to talk about quadrupled.......

[redssince75]

Now, let's hope for a Washington loss this evening.

Not so sure about that...there was a good radio discussion with Marty and someone about that today, I might just want the Giants over the Cards/Braves winner.

[traderumor]

Not so sure about that...there was a good radio discussion with Marty and someone about that today, I might just want the Giants over the Cards/Braves winner.No way to know. All the playoff teams are pretty evenly matched. I don't see it mattering, close games, big hits, nail biting late innings....won't matter where or who.

[Sea Ray]

Do we lead the league in walkoff wins?

Milwaukee's got to be among the league leaders in blown saves. If they had a closer they'd be in the playoffs

[cumberlandreds]

Just got home and saw they won. What a finish! That's taking a win from the jaws of defeat. This team does seem to have certain magic about it. They have had some other nice wins similar to this one. Hopefully it will carry over to the playoffs. You have to win a game or two like this to win a championship. Even the 76 Reds won game three in the NLCS in exciting fashion.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Apparently the Reds misunderstood my prediction, they thought it included all of their post season wins too. :O)

[Gizmo]

Finally!! Down to the last out and they actually won one. First time I've seen them win live in at least 3 years. At least since before I joined the army in 2010. Was 0-3 this season coming into today, 0-4 last season. Hopefully this starts a new trend and I get to see them win next April in DC and May in Philly.

[WVRedsFan]

Posted from my iPhone during the game and none of them showed up for some reason. To summerize, it was a horrible game up until the ninth with the notable exception of Mat Latos's pitching which was phenominal. What a difference in being agravated watching a very talented (at times) Volquez and Mat. It was a shame he couldn't win (which seems to be a pattern. If there was any justice, Mat would be 17-4 instead of 13-4). but better that neither or Mat lost.

Horray for Frazier and Dioner. This team missed Ryan Ludwick. Come back soon, Brother!
