10/5/75 NLCS Pirates @ Reds Daygame alert!
Reds lead 1-0 after last night's win. I can't believe Sparky kept running Gullett out there with an 8-2 lead. Fortunately Gully is young and has a rubber arm so he will be fine. Spraky's lineups continue to baffle me. Why not start with Geronimo and Concepcion as CFF and SS are the speed positions and those guys can bring havoc! Morgan should be told to walk less so he can drive in more runs and hit more homers! I worry about Rooker as you know the Reds can never handle those crafty lefties.

3 Al Oliver CF

Stennett grounds out to Rose.

Morgan with a nice play behind the mound to get Sanguillen. Good because Sanguillen has always irrationally annoyed me.

Norman loses a battle with Al Oliver. Hopefully walks won't haunt Freddy today.

Now Norman walks Stargell. He can't keep this up or else we will see why they call Sparky "Captain Hook!"
Re: 10/5/75 NLCS Pirates @ Reds Daygame alert!
Whew! Zisk almost made it 3-0. Foster with the grab at the base of the wall. I swear after 70, 72 and 73, I want to have hopes for this team but it is so hard to be confident. Those 108 wins in the regular season just don't mean anything now.
This is too stressful. I think I will break out a Colt 45.

Charley Hustle will the infield hit to 3rd.
Re: 10/5/75 NLCS Pirates @ Reds Daygame alert!
Meanwhile in Boston, A's have taken the lead in their game 2. I would love to face the A's in the Series. That could be a classic!
Bench k's. Bust!

Perez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:jump::jump::jump::jump:
Re: 10/5/75 NLCS Pirates @ Reds Daygame alert!
2-0 on the Perez homer and now Foster with the single (33:30)
Hopefully can come on and be a big RBI guy like Perez. Gotta love RBI.
Foster with a steal. Pittsburgh doesn't like it but it is not as if the replay can be seen by umps!
Morgan stole 3 last night, it is as if Sanguillen can't get these guys.
Re: 10/5/75 NLCS Pirates @ Reds Daygame alert!
Davey with the infield hit!

Griffey up. His kid was down on the field pregame. Seems like he loves playing catch!

Davey with the Steal! 2nd and third!
Re: 10/5/75 NLCS Pirates @ Reds Daygame alert!
Oh well Griffey out and it is on to the second. Reds 2-0.
Re: 10/5/75 NLCS Pirates @ Reds Daygame alert!
Norman k's the Cobra!

Norman walks another! I like how Marty shakes off walks and stays so positive on the mic.
Re: 10/5/75 NLCS Pirates @ Reds Daygame alert!
Bottom 2nd now. 2 out and Rose up. (51:15)
Rose bets wrong on that Rooker offering and k's.
Re: 10/5/75 NLCS Pirates @ Reds Daygame alert!
Joe on for the PBP.
Stennett leads off with a single to Rose.
No that's how we like it. 6-4-3 DP!
Re: 10/5/75 NLCS Pirates @ Reds Daygame alert!
Morgan- Bench-Perez coming up as we go to the bottom of the 3rd! (1:01:30)
