Drew Stubbs cf
Paul Janish ss
Joey Votto 1b
Brandon Phillips 2b
Scott Rolen 3b
Jay Bruce rf
Laynce Nix lf
Ryan Hanigan c
Bronson Arroyo p
vs. RH John Smoltz (1-2, 3.18)
Justin Lehr will start tomorrow. Matt Maloney had been scheduled but he’s still bothered by that blister on his left middle finger.
~has anybody heard anything about Gomes? He's played only twice in the past 7 games. Illness? Injury?

Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
11 straight starts by Bronson where he's gone 7 innings or more with allowing 3 runs or less. If he gets the 12th, it'll be the first time in Reds history. Say what you want about Bronson, but he's been dominant in the second half. I'm not sure there's been a better duo than Bronson & Homer of late.
Schumaker K's to start the game.

Chat is open for this exciting, late season matchup!
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Bronson is awesome. :)
Howdy from my little corner of the world! ;)
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Nice first inning for Bronson and boy did Brandon look surprised when that Big Al grounder ended up in his glove, LOL :laugh:
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Darn! I thought it was another leadoff dinger. Stubbs drive caught at the wall.
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Wow, Stubbs nearly had another lead off HR! So close!! :eek:
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Two down, trade-bait coming to the plate.
*ducks the hurled objects from Heather* :O)

Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Woohoo! Who'd thunk it? A double by Votto. He's just incredible.
Team record for Votto. Most doubles in one month. EVER.
Could we actually see 2 team records fall in one game?
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Jeff Brantley must not watch the AL very often because Oriole 2B Brian Roberts has been a doubles machine for most of his career and is sitting on FIFTY SIX of them right now. Jeff, get out a little more buddy! ;)
Not that I mind Joey setting more records and becoming even more awesome though! :D
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Brandon pops out to right. Okay, we didn't score...but it looks like we're getting good wood on Smoltzie. That's a good sign.
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
I thought I heard that Brian Roberts is just about the break the season doubles record (by Biggio I think it was).
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Smoltz really has had an incredible career. I've always liked him and it would be nice to see him end his career on a happier note than it would have had it ended after his stint with the RS.

I think that's just for switch hitters. The record is 67 in 1931.
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Bronson's on cruise control. 1-2-3 again. Lightning quick too.

It's the doubles record by a switch hitter that he's about to break, I think.

Ah, that's what it was. Thanks. Impressive regardless.

He did it last night! :D He broke the season doubles record by a switch hitter and he's only five doubles away from beating the all time (I think) record of 60 doubles in one season which was set back in 1936. That would be SO cool! :thumbup:
And dang, that last half inning went by faster than I could type out that paragraph, LMAO :lol:

Agreed. I just never liked him when WE faced him. It just doesn't feel right for him to not retire as a Brave though. Glavine & Maddux too.

Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Here's the article from orioles.com about the switch hitter doubles record
Sorry it took me so long to find it. My internet decided to be a tool. :p:
Relavent part where I got the 1936 comment:
Quote:
The 31-year-old has an outside chance to be the first big league player in more than 70 years to hit 60 doubles. The last player -- Charlie Gehringer in 1936 -- also set the all-time record (60) for second baseman, giving Roberts another target.

Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Back to back walks from Smoltz. Rolen & Bruce on.

I agree. He may not retire as a Brave but I hope he'll go into the HOF as a Brave. That's where he had the most success and where I think his heart still is regarding his whole career.

Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
CRUD! Soooooo close. Sure fire dinger from Nix, just foul. 1 for his last 18 (1 hit was HR).
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
What's the story w/ Gomes?!?
Watching Nix is kinda painful after watching Bruce make a fantastic AB.
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Very impressed with Bruce's approach since returning. Very impressed.

I was wondering the exact same thing. 2 games he's appeared in out of the last 7. Not starting...just appearing. I'm thinking illness or something of the sort.

Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
I haven't heard anything bad about Gomes healthwise or other wise. They interviewed him during Reds Live and he seemed fine so I have no clue why he's not playing tonight.

Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Woo Hoo! Bloop single by Hanigan. 1-0 Redlegs
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Smoltz doesn't look comfortable tonight.
GO ROLEN to roll right into home on that single by Hanigan! :)

Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards

Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Woo Hoo! Another bloop single. This one by Bronson. Bases loaded for Stubby! 1 down.
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
2-0 Reds after Smoltz walks in a run. This is not the John Smoltz I'm used to seeing. All over the place.
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
And we're walking...yes indeed, we're walking....:D
-
Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
This game may go all night at this pace. :eek:
COME ON JOEY.

Re: 9-30-09 Reds vs Cards
Janish strikes out. 2 down. Votto up.
