[Gizmo]

Lohse just missing the zone to Langerhans.

Goes full.

Flyout to Dunn!

[ThornWithin81]

Nice inning for Lohse. Two solid innings with one bad pitch so far.

[HumnHilghtFreel]

Lohse is looking pretty good to me so far, just one bad pitch that didn't break that cost him.

[Gizmo]

Marty and Hal (I think) are talking about the possibility of Everyday Eddie going on the DL, that's not good

If it means he's getting better for Sept. and October, it's better than risking an injury that will hurt us later.

1-2-3 go the Bravos. Hal and Marty talking about Mercker not being happy about doing a rehab start and trying to figure out what to do with Claussen when the inning came to an end. Brandon is going to cause some problems. He is getting smacked around in the minors, we do not need him on this roster until he's 100% healthy. I am still trying to figure out what the Reds are going to do when Kent and Belisle are ready to come off the DL, who do you get rid of?

If it means he's getting better for Sept. and October, it's better than risking an injury that will hurt us later.

I can agree with that.

All things considered, Bray looks like he can give us a decent number of saves down the stretch, if Eddie needs time.

[Gizmo]

Dunn just had a pitch to smack, and watched it.

[Gizmo]

Dunn strikes out with a check swing.

[wojo1025]

Dunn k's on a check swing 3rd strike. Looked awfully close, but he was called out without appeal

[jimbo]

Dude has very good stuff

I agree, I am pretty encouraged by what I see so far. Great movement on that sinker and he throws hard. Definitely something there to work with. He has what it takes to be a good pitcher. I'd take what he throws over Germano any day of the week.

[Gizmo]

Smoltz dealing. Ross Ks

[wojo1025]

Smoltz looking a little better this inning

[Gizmo]

Strkes out side.

[Tom Servo]

that inning not so-a good. Dunn and Deno looked bad.

[Gizmo]

Nobody even got a decent swing off him.
