NLDS Game 2 - Reds at Giants 10/7/12

[Reds Fanatic]

Everyone in the lineup with a hit tonight except Bruce, Stubbs and Arroyo

[Degenerate39]

I'll join in. DanO

[Hollcat]

Only 400,000,000 views. You're the only one who hasn't seen it (or me until last week. :))

I hadn't seen it either. Now I have saw 1:23 of it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cozart grounds out to short. 4-0 Reds mid 7th

[RedsMan3203]

This game might catch up with the O's/Yanks game...

[WVRedsFan]

Someday, Cozart's going to be a good hitter, but he has a way to go.

[Kc61]

The Ludwick DP and that out by Cozart unfortunate. Would like to lead by about 9 right now.

And if the Reds led by 9, I'd want 12.

Go Reds.

[BCubb2003]

Giants 1b doesn't spend much time with his foot on the bag.

[Roy Tucker]

Starting to think the Reds' offense was intentionally snowing us in September. I'll have to see if I can forgive them.

Indeed.

[vaticanplum]

Yankees-Orioles game is superintense.

[Jefferson24]

The Ludwick DP and that out by Cozart unfortunate. Would like to lead by about 9 right now.

And if the Reds led by 9, I'd want 12.

Go Reds.

the 4 runs will hold up

[WVRedsFan]

I hadn't seen it either. Now I have saw 1:23 of it.

See what? I feel like I'm missing something.

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff double for the Orioles in the 8th.

[Tornon]

See what? I feel like I'm missing something.

Gangnam style

[Hollcat]

See what? I feel like I'm missing something.

Your not!

[Kc61]

Someday, Cozart's going to be a good hitter, but he has a way to go.

33 doubles and 15 homers for a rookie SS is a semi-decent year, I'd say.

[vaticanplum]

Are you guys getting the puppy medication commercial?

[wheels]

Your not!

Exactly.

Society is doomed.

[smith288]

Your not!

His not?

[Tornon]

Are you guys getting the puppy medication commercial?

Yes

[RedsMan3203]

Are you guys getting the puppy medication commercial?

Yesss... Love those dogs!

[wheels]

Are you guys getting the puppy medication commercial?

I wish.

[George Foster]

Are you guys getting the puppy medication commercial?

no commit..:D

[_Sir_Charles_]

He was tossing but the announcers and cameras noted he did not throw off the rubber or from a windup.

I didn't want you to think I was blowing you off. I don't have tbs/tnt so I'm listening to WLW and watching those mlb.tv cameras (no replays or anything). I saw him warming up, but I don't recall seeing a full windup. I never saw the stuff you guys did with the TNT announcers/video. My apologies.

[smith288]

no commit..:D

That puppy is so dang cute. Right?

[vaticanplum]

I didn't want you to think I was blowing you off. I don't have tbs/tnt so I'm listening to WLW and watching those mlb.tv cameras (no replays or anything). I saw him warming up, but I don't recall seeing a full windup. I never saw the stuff you guys did with the TNT announcers/video. My apologies.

But did you get the farmersonly commercial?

[George Foster]

That puppy is so dang cute. Right?

I have to brush me teeth....

[Kc61]

Scutaro, Sandoval, and Posey here followed by Pence. Go Reds.

[reds44]

Middle of the Giants order due up.

[dougdirt]

33 doubles and 15 homers for a rookie SS is a semi-decent year, I'd say.

.sub .300 OBP though.....

[WVRedsFan]

Gangnam style

Oh. I know. Been there. Thanks.

[Hollcat]

Yes

I recorded the farmersonly.com commercial and just go back and watch that between innings.

[Reds Fanatic]

Scutaro flies out to center.

[_Sir_Charles_]

But did you get the farmersonly commercial?

LOL. No commercials at all. I get a screen saying "commercial break" with twitter feeds at the bottom. :O)

[Reds Fanatic]

Sandoval flies out to left.

[Red in Chicago]

He definitely flipped the switch for the post-season!


I recorded the farmersonly.com commercial and just go back and watch that between innings.

But this version didn't have the line dancing included :lol:

[Tom Servo]

2 quick outs

[NJReds]

Panda is a hacker.

[Kc61]

.sub .300 OBP though.....

I know his OBP.

Any shortstop who can field like Cozart and plate a .400 SLG like Cozart is ok with me.

He needs to walk more, but I'll take him just like he is.

[WVRedsFan]

Do you pull Bronson after this?

[kaldaniels]

I didn't want you to think I was blowing you off. I don't have tbs/tnt so I'm listening to WLW and watching those mlb.tv cameras (no replays or anything). I saw him warming up, but I don't recall seeing a full windup. I never saw the stuff you guys did with the TNT announcers/video. My apologies.

No problem. It will be an interesting story to hear after the game. He may have warmed up down below but I don't think he did. It was obvious there was confusion hence my initial remark. Carry on. :beerme:

[Wonderful Monds]

Arroyo going the distance?

What the hell is Scutaro doing when he drops the bat like he's gonna bunt? It's so weird.

[Tom Servo]

Do you pull Bronson after this?
I leave him in until a sign of trouble.

[Tornon]

Do you pull Bronson after this?

I might have someone warming up, but I can't pull him until he allows another base runner

[George Foster]

Do you pull Bronson after this?

Hell no! Broxton struggled

[OesterPoster]

Strike zone getting bigger?

[vaticanplum]

What's Arroyo's pitch count?

[Tornon]

What's Arroyo's pitch count?

82

[Reds Fanatic]

Arroyo going the distance?

What the hell is Scutaro doing when he drops the bat like he's gonna bunt? It's so weird.

It is strange. He basically gives the pitcher a strike. He has done that 3 or 4 times this series.

[wheels]

He's dispatching them with elacrity.

Let him go the distance. Rest that pen.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I leave him in until a sign of trouble.

Same here. He looks fantastic. Don't mess with it if it's working.

[_Sir_Charles_]

What's Arroyo's pitch count?

84

[vaticanplum]

82

Keep him in til trouble. It's not a huge lead but it's decent and much of our bullpen could use some rest after last night.

[OldRightHander]

Do you pull Bronson after this?

Not my decision. Ask Dusty.

I honestly don't know if I would, but I'd keep him on a very short leash.

[Hollcat]

But this version didn't have the line dancing included :lol:

I may have to get the DVD boxed set!

[wheels]

They can't square anything up against him. So many meek pop ups.

[Reds Fanatic]

Posey walks

[OldRightHander]

I didn't need to see a replay of the Posey injury. That was ugly.

[kaldaniels]

I try to get thru the game with Bronson alone (at this rate). I'd let him bring the tying run to the plate though Dusty would probably yank him if 2 got on in the 8th or 9th.

[WVRedsFan]

Now he walks Posey. Well see what happens.

[dougdirt]

I didn't need to see a replay of the Posey injury. That was ugly.

My thoughts exactly.

[vaticanplum]

O's fail to score. Their fans look like they're watching an execution. But, like, a promising one.

[OldRightHander]

I may have to get the DVD boxed set!

With the quality of the production, I'd bet it's available on VHS.

[kaldaniels]

Professional announcers stating had Pence not thrown home they would have got the very same double play ball the next batter.

[Roy Tucker]

Bronson has velocity tonight

[Hollcat]

I'd get Hoover and Marshall up

[George Foster]

Professional announcers stating had Pence not thrown home they would have got the very same double play ball the next batter.

it was a hit...would of scored 1 instead of 2

[Reds Fanatic]

Pence flies out to center. 4-0 Reds after 7.

[The Operator]

Bronson Arroyo!

[smith288]

DEALING

[Tom Servo]

Sit down UnderPants, ya goof.

[OesterPoster]

6 more!

[_Sir_Charles_]

1 hit, 1 walk, 0 runs, 90 pitches. Yeah, I'm not pulling him yet.

[Matt700wlw]

His best start as a Red. Period.

[wheels]

Outstanding.

The Reds are playing like we think they should so far in this series.

[Reds Fanatic]

That is 91 pitches. I would definitely leave him in for at least one more inning.

[OldRightHander]

Can of corn to Stubbs. Great outing so far for Bronson.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Sit down UnderPants, ya goof.

LOL. Priceless.

[George Foster]

1 hit, 1 walk, 0 runs, 90 pitches. Yeah, I'm not pulling him yet.

especially with 6,7,8 due up

[Kc61]

Bronson over 90 pitches now, have to watch him, but that was a good inning for him with the middle of the lineup up.

[smith288]

it was a hit...would of scored 1 instead of 2

Defense was in. If pence threw to the cutoff, the d would be back in dp depth.

[reds44]

I ain't taking him out.

[Tom Servo]

Yankees go ahead in the 9th :(

[Captain Hook]

My vote goes to underpants for king of the nerds!

[gilpdawg]

Russell Martin just gave NY a 3-2 lead.

[reds44]

The taco bell burrito bowl sucks. Go to chipotle.

[vaticanplum]

Yankees go ahead in the 9th :(

Russell Martin homer. Hey, the ninth inning is when the Orioles start to play, right?

[WVRedsFan]

Professional announcers stating had Pence not thrown home they would have got the very same double play ball the next batter.

Professional? From TBS. the network that brought us the Tush Show? Hardly. The are clueless.

[Hollcat]

I never lime to take out a pitcher who is cruising but I hope they don't wait to get someone ready.

[George Foster]

Defense was in. If pence threw to the cutoff, the d would be back in dp depth.

that was a good throw, and a legit play at the plate with Votto...

[NJReds]

Yankees go ahead in the 9th :(

Russell Martin has had some big hits over the past couple weeks.

[kaldaniels]

Defense was in. If pence threw to the cutoff, the d would be back in dp depth.

Point is, had Pence thrown to second, the entire future gets changed. That same ground ball does not get hit.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jose Mijares in to pitch

[WVRedsFan]

The taco bell burrito bowl sucks. Go to chipotle.

Word. Been there.

[wheels]

Point is, had Pence thrown to second, the entire future gets changed. That same ground ball does not get hit.

Butterfly Effect.

[Tom Servo]

Professional? From TBS. the network that brought us the Tush Show? Hardly. The are clueless.
The Tush Show sounded great before I looked up what it was.

[Kc61]

Professional? From TBS. the network that brought us the Tush Show? Hardly. The are clueless.

I think the announcers have been pretty good. Like most national announcers, they got some stuff wrong.

I'd much rather listen to these guys than listen to the Pirates announcers almost shed tears when their team falls behind.

[George Foster]

9 runs in 2 games against this GREAT Giants pitching...I'll take it:thumbup:

[_Sir_Charles_]

Money. 3rd hit of the night for Votto. 1 to center. 1 to left. 1 to right. Defend THAT!

[Reds Fanatic]

3rd hit of the night for Votto.

[Tom Servo]

This bum is a singles machine

[The Operator]

Joey!

Me likey that Votto is getting it figured out.

[Hollcat]

Professional? From TBS. the network that brought us the Tush Show? Hardly. The are clueless.

The TBS ticker on the bottom of screen earlier that "Storn" had the save for the Nats today.

[WVRedsFan]

The Tush Show sounded great before I looked up what it was.

I liked the beer commercial. "Runs right through you. The only beer that says its name when you open the can"

[BCubb2003]

Joey Votto has turned into Pete Rose.

[reds44]

Imagine Votto with a good knee. He'd have 7 hits already.

[OldRightHander]

Votto with three hits tonight.

[Tadasimha]

Joey Votto has turned into Pete Rose.

Except for the hitting, I REALLY hope not!

[wheels]

Joey Votto has turned into Pete Rose.

Somewhere BadFundamentals sheds a joyful tear.

[Hollcat]

This bum is a singles machine

Base clogged extraordinaire

[WebScorpion]

This bum is a singles machine
He's a regular Hal Morris out there! ;)

[OldRightHander]

Ludwick swinging out of his shoes on that one.

[Reds Fanatic]

Yankees now up 4-2 in the 9th

[Captain Hook]

Except for the hitting, I REALLY hope not!
Pete Rose drinks beer and likes goofy shirts. I think we're safe.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Pete Rose drinks beer and like goofy shirts. I think we're safe.

Nicely played. :O)

[OldRightHander]

Somewhere BadFundamentals sheds a joyful tear.

He always contributed to some entertaining threads.

[WVRedsFan]

We need a dinger brother. But I'll take a walk.

[NJReds]

Catching for Mijares is no easy task.

[Tom Servo]

clog them bases

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick walks. 1st and 2nd.

[reds44]

More runs, please.

[wheels]

He always contributed to some entertaining threads.

"raisor's Pythagorean theory".:laugh:

[The Operator]

Ludwick walks.

Let's step on their throat this inning!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Ludwick BB.

Heisey PR for Heisey.

[Hollcat]

Pete Rose drinks beer and likes goofy shirts. I think we're safe.

Other than hitting I wouldn't think the two have a lot in common.

[Kc61]

No. D. P. Jay.

[OldRightHander]

"raisor's Pythagorean theory".:laugh:

That was a classic.

[George Foster]

I miss FallCityBeer:confused:

Hope he is enjoying this season

[WebScorpion]

We need a dinger britherWe only need six more Giant outs...but we'll take a dinger if we can.;)

[wheels]

His Cardinals are still in it....

[BCubb2003]

Other than hitting I wouldn't think the two have a lot in common.

Yeah, it's a stretch.

[WVRedsFan]

Has Jay just forgotten how to hit a lefty?

Nope.

[wheels]

Has Jay just forgotten how to hit a lefty?

No.

[Kc61]

Has Jay just forgotten how to hit a lefty?

no.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bruuuuuuce! 2 run double!!!! 6-0 Redlegs!!!

[Captain Hook]

Has Jay just forgotten how to hit a lefty?

No

[George Foster]

Has Jay just forgotten how to hit a lefty?

NO..

[nate]

Has Jay just forgotten how to hit a lefty?

No.

[757690]

Ludwick BB.

Heisey PR for Heisey.

Sounds difficult to Pinch run for yourself. Hope he doesn't pull anything ;)

[The Operator]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!

6-0

[OesterPoster]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuce

[Tom Servo]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce


broooooother

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce doubles to right. 6-0 Reds!!!!

[RedsMan3203]

Brrrrrrrrrruce!

[NJReds]

Has Jay just forgotten how to hit a lefty?

Apparently not.

[dougdirt]

Jay Bruce. Nails.

[Red in Chicago]

Bruuuuuuuce

[smith288]

I miss FallCityBeer:confused:

Hope he is enjoying this season

I bet FCB isnt enjoying it. He didn't enjoy much.

[reds44]

Jay. Effing. Bruce.

[OldRightHander]

Bruce is on now. Double 2 RBI, and the Reds are in business.

[vaticanplum]

It's still fun if it's a rout, right? I don't want to feel empty.

[WebScorpion]

Has Jay just forgotten how to hit a lefty?apparently not! 6 - 0 Good guys!

[wheels]

This is fracking AWESOME.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Sounds difficult to Pinch run for yourself. Hope he doesn't pull anything ;)

LOL. Nice typo. hehe.

Obviously, he pinch ran for Ludwick. *grin*

[kaldaniels]

Can we forbid any "This team doesn't play well on the West Coast" remarks for the next year?

[Tom Servo]

New Giants pitcher entering to Cult of Personality? Cool.

[Hollcat]

Yay Jay.

[Kc61]

Ok -- get the bullpen up. Now.

We may need Arroyo on three days rest Thursday.

We don't need him throwing 120 pitches tonight.

He's at 91. Let him start the eighth. But if he starts to labor, out, out, out.

[Captain Hook]

I enjoy watching Giants players beating up water coolers!!!

[WMR]

This is fracking AWESOME.

Yes, extremely.

[wheels]

Where's that guy that was bemoaning this series before it started?

[The Operator]

It's still fun if it's a rout, right? I don't want to feel empty.Oh it's fun alright.

I want these Giant fans to get sent home crying.

[Yachtzee]

Andre Dawson?

[Brutus]

I thought the offense wasn't capable of just turning it on for the postseason?

[Captain Hook]

Andre Dawson?

What year is it?

[smith288]

I hate bullpens on the field. Has to be nerve racking for everyone involved.

[Reds Fanatic]

Santiago Casilla in to pitch

[NJReds]

Yanks leading 6-2. Ichiro was such a big pickup for them.

[Kc61]

I remember this. It's called offense.

[Hollcat]

So Shaquille O'neil drives a Buick. Who would have thunk it.

[George Foster]

Really wish we were the #1 seed...


I think it's safe to say...the bats are back!

[reds44]

I made a thread like a week ago talking about the offense not hitting. I also liked Elizardo Ramirez and disliked Homer Bailey.

I suck.

[Red in Chicago]

Andre Dawson?

I have the hawks autograph somewhere in my house.

[OldRightHander]

I can't wait for Tuesday night.

[WVRedsFan]

I thought the offense wasn't capable of just turning it on for the postseason?

Well, they were do for a hot streak. Hope it lasts.

[Jefferson24]

What year is it?

1990? beginning to feel like it

[Kc61]

Darling notes that Hanigan has had big hits for the Reds all season.

Don't see the issue with his announcing.

Yanks up 6-2 now.

[kaldaniels]

Where's that guy that was bemoaning this series before it started?

Now now, call-outs are frowned upon. :D

- Don't worry he will show up the minute the Reds fall behind in a game.

[wheels]

I made a thread like a week ago talking about the offense not hitting. I also liked Elizardo Ramirez and disliked Homer Bailey.

I suck.

No. Not you. 1990 something....Can't remember his name.

[Yachtzee]

1990? beginning to feel like it

No kidding.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I made a thread like a week ago talking about the offense not hitting. I also liked Elizardo Ramirez and disliked Homer Bailey.

I suck.


We were all thinking it. We just didn't want to say anything. :p

[smith288]

So Shaquille O'neil drives a Buick. Who would have thunk it.

He doesn't. He gets paid to squeeze in one for the camera.

[vaticanplum]

Yanks up 7-2. That was fast.

[WVRedsFan]

I made a thread like a week ago talking about the offense not hitting. I also liked Elizardo Ramirez and disliked Homer Bailey.

I suck.

Yeah. Me, too, but I'm human :).

[hebroncougar]

Ok -- get the bullpen up. Now.

We may need Arroyo on three days rest Thursday.

We don't need him throwing 120 pitches tonight.

He's at 91. Let him start the eighth. But if he starts to labor, out, out, out.

Thursday belongs to Latos.

Can we forbid any "This team doesn't play well on the West Coast" remarks for the next year?

Sure, so long as the club gets an extra day off prior to the start of the west coast series.

[dougdirt]

So Shaquille O'neil drives a Buick. Who would have thunk it.

My guess is.... he owns a Buick. I doubt he drives that thing.

[RBA]

Reds may only play 3 home games before the World Series.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen flies out to right.

[kaldaniels]

I hate bullpens on the field. Has to be nerve racking for everyone involved.

I always enjoy the accidental "ball that gets away" in order to buy some time.

[Reds Fanatic]

Guillermo Mota in to pitch

[Tom Servo]

Bochy channeling his inner La Russa

[Kc61]

Thursday belongs to Latos.

And what if Cueto can't pitch for the rest of this series?

[George Foster]

Guillermo Mota in to pitch

why? save your pen...does not make since.

[WVRedsFan]

I think the WestCoast trips are over for this year. Detroit and Washington look to be the spots.

[Jefferson24]

Reds may only play 3 home games before the World Series.

++++

[kaldaniels]

I think the WestCoast trips are over for this year. Detroit and Washington look to be the spots.

7-2 Yankees at Camden Yards as we speak....

[George Foster]

I think the WestCoast trips are over for this year. Detroit and Washington look to be the spots.

If we go, and it's in Detroit...I have a connection...I'm there. 5 hour drive.

[reds44]

lol the nuts commercial.

[Tom Servo]

lol the nuts commercial.
what the hell did I just watch

[Captain Hook]

I wonder what people in SF think of Cincinnati being the Queen City?

[GullyFoyle]

"Tender"

Jealous...:laugh:

[_Sir_Charles_]

A lot more swing 'n misses from Hanny than I'm used to seeing tonight.

[Kc61]

Yanks will be shocked. They've played one game, are winning, and were eliminated already!

[_Sir_Charles_]

7-0 Reds! MANIGAN!

[The Operator]

Hanigan!!!!!!!!!!

7-0

[Tom Servo]

The Manigan unleashed!

[Captain Hook]

I thought it was a fair question. Sorry.:(

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan singles to center. 7-0 Reds!

[OldRightHander]

Up by a touchdown. Hanigan with his third RBI.

[wheels]

They're almost out of double slam range.

[reds44]

TD AJ Green!

[George Foster]

Hanny...

say good night Gracie...

[WVRedsFan]

I laugh when they said Ludwick had a groin issue. Yes, I'm immature.

Dizzy Dean once called it the groan. Lot of truth in that.

[VR]

TD AJ Green!

Against a usually tough Niner defense.

[The Operator]

UNCLE!!!!!!

8-0

[_Sir_Charles_]

STUBBS!!! Triple!!! 8-0!!! WOW!

[Tom Servo]

Stubbs! :eek:

[vaticanplum]

Stubbs. I just...I think I might go to bed now.

[SirFelixCat]

Well this is fun!

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs lines a triple to center. 8-0 Reds!!!

[WVRedsFan]

Laugher. Love it. 8-0

[RBA]

They're almost out of double slam range.

Known as the Danny Graves range.

[reds44]

It was almost a homer!

[GullyFoyle]

Move those legs!

[BCubb2003]

Stubbs would have caught that.

[OesterPoster]

Uncle!

[Tom Servo]

Wonders never cease.

[kaldaniels]

Ok, let Valdez the last 6 outs.

[OldRightHander]

8-0 on the triple. This is a bit less stressful than last night.

[Tom Servo]

Stubbs would have caught that.
:bowrofl:

[_Sir_Charles_]

I can't believe how quickly this park is emptying. :O)

[Kc61]

Stubbs would have caught that.

Very good, I enjoyed that one BCubb.

[reds44]

I like Stubbs in the 8 hole.

[wheels]

We needed this as a fan base.

A playoff laugher. That hasn't happened since the 1990 World Series.

[kaldaniels]

It was almost a homer!

Didn't want to pass Hanny and get called out. :D

[George Foster]

squeeze

[dougdirt]

It was almost a homer!

It was almost an infield fly too.

[Phhhl]

The offense is clicking. That is seven non hr runs on the evening. Perfect timing. Nobody can argue this was against garbage pitching either.

[VR]

I don't know if it's just the enhanced audio of a nationally televised game.....but both Hanny and Stubby's hit sounded like they hit it hard on the screws.

[Reds Fanatic]

Arroyo strikes out swinging.

[Kc61]

I like Stubbs in the 8 hole.

Cesar Geronimo Stubbs.

[OesterPoster]

Did he almost catch Hanigan on the bases?

[Tadasimha]

I really think they were dogging it with the bats through September - this is the way they were hitting in July and August!

[marcshoe]

Still can't stop watching. I'll sleep when I'm dead.

[KittyDuran]

Known as the Danny Graves range.

BTW, RBA, I've gone to bed with happier thoughts... :P
