Reds @ Cards....Game 3

• Ironman92

  

  Harang versus Carpenter
  
  
  
  Reds will for whatever reason do OK versus Carpenter......Harang will step up and the Cards offense isn't exactly great right now.
  
  
  Rreds could win...but likely won't.
  
  Cards 6
  Reds 5

  What is up with Paul Keels doing the Reds games on TV?
  
  Ive heard him on atleast 5 games so far.
• se-alum

  

  I haven't caught any Reds games lately, but it looks like Bruce is really coming on!
• Ironman92

  

  .....so are Austin Kearns and Alex Gonzalez
• SportsAndLady

  

  No way Reds beat Carpenter.
  
  4-1 Cards
• Ironman92

  

  I understand your logic...but baseball is baseball and there is a reason why Roy Oswalt at 23-1 just lost his last start to that same team he was 23-1 against.
  
  It mainly up to Harang to go 7 innings and give up 3 or fewer and the Reds will have a shot.
• Ironman92

  

  Alex Gonzalez just hit his 8th HR and now is at 21 RBI for the Blue Jays.....they are playing the A's....who have Adam Rosales batting .303.
  
  Anyone catch 56 year old Juan Castro driving in the winning runs for the Phillies the other night.
  
  
  It's almost amazing how seemingly purtid or washed up players can leave the Reds and fill a role well for other teams.

  I need Carp to have a good game.
  
  I think the Reds get to him (for a few) though. I dont think itll be enough. Pujols and Molina with big days.

  When your an Indians fan its the only way to keep interested in the season past June.

  I just am enamored at some of the fantasy rankings where the #20 ranked player is no way better than the #131 listed player.....but with the fantasy format they are.
  
  Who is the fantasy stud for the Reds? Votto because of his SB? lol

  lol, you got me intrigued. Votto is the highest rated Red right now, but at 95 (originally at 23).
  
  I too love the fact that someone is rated higher than someone even though it is a ridiculous though for the most part.
• Ironman92

  

  Ugh.....Jocketty talking about Chapman still needing work on his bunting.
  
  Makes me want to shoot myself to even mention that.....Votto took 100 games before he could toss the ball to 1B.
  
  Just say we don't feel he's quite ready for the big leagues yet......the bunt stuff is beyond ridiculous when you consider how many Reds have been inept at so many more important things....sometimes for years.
  
  Maybe Dusty should've been sent down for not knowing how to fill out a lineup card to give his team a chance.
• Big Red Monster

  Where is Marty?
  
  I have had the radio on all weekend and it has been Brantley and the guy from Triple A
• mhs95_06

  Reds offense looks inept agaisnt Carpenter in the 1st.
• Ironman92

  

  Chris Welsh "you can just scratch out that early season ERA for Harang.......he had 2 bad starts that has ruined his ERA"
  
  2 bad starts???........he's only had FIVE starts!!!!!
  
  Harang has earned his 7.12 ERA
  
  Can we scratch Tim Lincecum and Roy Halladay's great starts and ERA's for the same reason?
• Big Red Monster

  Welsh is an idiot
• Ironman92

  

  Carpenter looked scary sharp....Harang thru 12 pitches looks good
• Ironman92

  

  Reds have no one in the top 40 of MLB in runs scored and their leaders are the guys who have batted mainly 5th and 6th.....Dusty's lineup construction.
• mhs95_06

  Both pitchers gets 2 Ks and retire the side in order in the 1st, but Harang uses 15 pitches and Carpenter 9!
• Big Red Monster

  Carpenter is on fire
• Big Red Monster

  What a play by Brandon Ryan!
• mhs95_06

  Carpenter gets two Ks again. This time Rolen at least uses 6 pitches for his 3-2 looking K, to get Carpenter up to a whopping 20 pitches thru 2.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Told ya..Carpenter will shut us down
• Ironman92

  

  Yeah, Carpenter is only good for about 120 pitches......so if it goes 13 innings we can battle him out of the game.
