Game 3: Cardinals @ Reds

• jordo212000

  

  First pitch is at 12:35.
  
  Hopefully the "good" Bronson Arroyo shows up today, not the one who gives up 8 runs in 4 innings.

  What was last nights attendance? Just curious. Radio made it sound like it was a good crowd. Probably teh good weather had alot to do with it but wonder if the push for "Opening Night" helped at all.
  
  I dont like to and usually dont knock managers because, well, i know many times you manage on a gut feeling and there is always more to a situation than what ya see on the surface.
  
  But to but that one dude in...forget his name....in a tie game..runner on first...no out with the 2 hole and then heart of the lineup.....that is a tough task to ask of a pitcher without experience. I know..if lincoln comes in people bash.
  
  Dusty didnt put him in a good position to be suffessful.

  it was like 28,000 which was there best attendance for the next game after opening day in like 14 years

  Same here.
  
  But I'm pretty sure MLB has something where they can't show them. If I remember from discussions during last year's season.

  I don't know what the actual attendance was but it felt like about 25k were actually there.
• thavoice

  yeah...all pertty much are on but the day games.
  
  Prolly too little viewership to even bother.
• Big Red Monster

  Pretty good game so far.

  How did they score? I'm stuck at work and don't have an AM radio.
• jordo212000

  

  Yup, "watching" the gamecast and it said that Bronson Arroyo had the RBI haha. It figures that a pitcher would be the one that had to knock in the runs. Maybe they should put him in RF for Jay Bruce haha; he has looked bad so far (I know this is only the 3rd game but still)

  Bronson helping himself with the single and the RBI
• big_hits24

  The Cards tie the score up at 1 a piece. Matt Holliday hit a HR for the cards. Now heading to the bottom of the 7th
• stroups

  

  Cards tie it up on a Matt Holiday home run to left center
• big_hits24

  Going into the bottom of the 8th with the top of the reds lineup batting. Arroyo has pitched a pretty good game. Hopefully cincy can get a run or 2 and bring in Cordero for the save and get out of here with a W
• mhs95_06

  Arroyo gets thru the 8th, allowing only one run, and using 108 pitches. We'll see how the top of the Reds order can do against the new pitcher.
• big_hits24

  Freakin Rolen popped out to end the inning with Votto at 2nd...Had our chance to take the lead. Guess we'll have to get a walk off from someone.

  Walk-Off Jonny Gomes!!!
