Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
opening it up early, since participation has been a bit low lately :p:

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
What happened to having too many outs at the bottom of the order? Patterson, Bako, and Fogg. I'm guessing Walt stopped listening to that crap?

Truth is, none of these three players should be with the club in any way shape or form. Two are Dusty proteges and the other the work of one Wayne Krivsky, who actually thought Fogg would be a decent fifth starter (even though he had three fifth starters on the team already). Three automatic outs on a team that is offensively challenged anyway. Against Oswalt.
For those who like pitching and defense, this game will the nightmare that can only happen when your offense puts you out of games like this before they begin. I can't wait.

Hey, Fogg is no hitting the Astro's, and we're beating Oswalt.
-
Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Josh Fogg vs Roy Oswalt. Sounds like a Reds win to me. Seriously. I'm calling a Reds win vs Oswalt tonight. If I'm wrong then Redszone can give me a wedgie.
-
Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Sigh. Running in to outs is bad, especially at home. Still looked like he may have been in under the tag.
-
Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
What simply stupid (or over aggressive) base running.
And good ol' EE strolling in from home.

I'll be the designated widgier. I'm only 50 miles from him :).

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
There goes the no-no. Only lasted an inning.

I think he's just going for the complete game shutout. ;)

Fogg should have retired while he still had the perfect game going.

Tough error to take there. That was an absolute rocket off the bat of Pence.

I do too, sadly. My dad is 50 years old and can still outrun me by a mile.

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Oswalt just threw a four pitch inning.
-
Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Reds go through the top of the 3rd in 4 pitches. I love this new aggressive approach.
-
Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
I blinked....I think I missed the top of the 3rd...

With Oswalt, you have to be....he doesn't walk guys, and if u don't swing, you'll be at his mercy in a hurry, because he's a strike machine. Getting hits or fouls is the only way to really run up his pitch count

I could buy that if it was just against Oswalt. But we've seen this all season, and Dunn/Griffey's absence has only exacerbated the problem. This team is hacktastic, and IMO it's hurting the offense in a big way.

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Votto works a walk on 7 pitches. Refreshing. :)
-
Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Oswalt then gets the next 3 outs on 4 pitches. :laugh:
-
Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
11 pitch 4th inning there....Either Oswalt is very pitch efficient or the Reds hack alot....lol
Oswalt at 51 pitches thru 4...

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Tejada with a leadoff single through the box in the bottom of 4.
Berkman up again.
-
Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Berkman golfs a bloop into shallow left. Runners on 1st and 2nd with 0 out.
Blum up.
-
Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Wow, strike 'em out, throw 'em out DP. Tejada out at 3rd.
Sixpence due up.

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Very impressive Hanigan. ;)

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Fudge. And he was doing so well.

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Crawford boxes = joke.
112 ft HR for Pence scores 2. 2-1 Astros now.

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Anyone know why they call them the Crawford boxes?
-
Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
I was just joking about the wedgie thing.;)

With Fogg, you better have the BP ready by the 5th regardless of how well he is doing. ;)

From wikipedia...
The boxes are named for their being parallel to Crawford Street in Downtown Houston.
The Crawford Boxes are located in left field in Minute Maid Park with one of the shortest porches in baseball. The home-plate-to-wall measurement of the boxes is only 315 feet (96 meters). The 19-foot wall that maintains the front of the elevated boxes houses the hand-operated scoreboard for other games occurring the same day.
Due to their popularity, Crawford Box seats are among the most expensive of outfield seats in the major leagues (an individual ticket is $32).
Landry's Restaurants, Inc. have bought out the naming rights to the Crawford Boxes, lending the commercial moniker "Landry's Crawford Boxes" during radio and television broadcasts. In addition, promoters from restaurants owned by Landry's (such as Rainforest Cafe and Saltgrass Steakhouse) visit on random days and throw gifts such as T-shirts, keychains, frisbees, and stuffed animals to the fans in the boxes. Traditionally, any fan that catches a home run ball that lands in the Crawford Boxes wins a gift certificate to a Landry's Restaurant.

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08
Jason Bourne flies out to center. Score would be 1-1 on any field other than one resembling something out of Williamsport.
But hey, on the bright side Patterson's due up to start the 5th. He grounds to SS.
Bako also grounds out to short. 2 out.
