So Chapman didn't pitch Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
Use him for two innings today if the Reds have a lead?
Figured Stubbs earned himself a benching after yesterday.
Molina nursing a sore ankle. Freese still day to day with a hand injury, I believe.
The Reds have their work cut out for them with Wainwright. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs per start dating back to July 13th, the last time he faced the Reds (4 runs that day).
Both teams basically going with their A-teams today. Good to see.
It's go time..... Lets have some fun!
Today's home plate umpire is Brian Runge, who has called two no-hitters this year.
Runge's stats are HERE. In 15 games umped this year, total runs per game averages 7.93, below average, see HERE.
Also will be interesting to see Hanigan catch for Homer.
Jay grounds out to 2nd.
Jay with a slow ground to Phillips, 1 out.
Carpenter flies out to left on the first pitch
Holliday strikes out swinging. 0-0 mid 1st.
1-2-3 inning for Homer
Reds are wearing their alternate red uniforms for the 2nd straight day, for those keeping score at home.
8 pitch inning for Homer.
Only saw one bad pitch from Homer that set... Left a breakball up and inside... But called a strike.
Holy crap, six of the eight starters for stl hitting over .300 and the other two in the .270's
How had this team ever lost?
Reds have a 31-13 record in day games this year.
Ryan Hanigan lead the NL in catcher ERA, Here.
Cozart grounds out to 3rd.
Heisey grounds out to 2nd.
Wow, BP is slow.
Phillips singles to right and is thrown out at 2nd attempting to strech it into a double.
Brandon Phillips is probably the worst baserunner the Reds have had in a long time.
Looked like Phillips was safe.
He generally don't run all out coming out of the box unless it's a possible infield hit or double play
Craig grounds out to short.
9 pitches, 4 outs for Homer.
Beltran strikes out swinging. 2 Ks for Homer.
Boo birds are out for Mr. Neck Tattoo... Wish they'd stop that.
Molina flies out to center. A 9 pitch inning. 0-0 mid 2nd.
