Reds @ Cards....Game 2

• swamisez

  

  Wish we had a sinkerballer in the pen to pitch after Cueto because I dont think either starter will go 5.

  The trick is how many you can hit as just getting over the wall with a bunch is better than a few going way out! It looks like its is a combination of temp, high humidity, and low pressure making the air density very low allowing the ball to get great carry in the air! I don't know how the diamond is laid out, but I'll bet it is such that the wind from the SSE at 9 mph is helping the carry also!
• mhs95_06

  Hustling Jonny Gomes beats the throw as Lopez has trouble in his glove and gets a late weak throw to try to get the force. Then Stubbs beat the force out throw from the 3B/SS hole to set up a possible big inning with the bases loaded and no out, but Cueto hits into a 3-2-3 DP.

  Or 2!! lol
  
  
  OC is the MVP of this team, HANDS DOWN.
• mhs95_06

  He does with a shot of LCF for 2 two out RBI!

  Gomes busts his ass at everything. Most intense guy ever. After his SO in the first he about winged his bat into the dugout.
• wildcats20

  

  Keep it going BP
  
  
  edit...
  
  LOL
• CinciX12

  

  Him not running hard on ground balls makes me throw things.

  I think Del Rosario has a ground out to fly out ratio that is highly in favor of ground outs.
• swamisez

  

  important inning for Cueto. Middle/bottom of the Cards order coming up. Will be critical to keep the ball down, or if at all possible limit walks and not Larue drive in Rasmus etc.

  I think Cueto was safe at 1st....coulda been a 3-run double, Cueto has some wheels. I love that the Reds are taking punches and counter-punching with authority.
• swamisez

  

  and boom goes the dynamite
  
  solo shot, ok. But giving up a single to Larue, inexcusable. Get me over fast ball on first pitch, the only ball larue could hit. Cmon Johnny

  I was actually thinking the same thing. That was mighty close.
• wildcats20

  

  Rolen with a total bloop job for a double.
• mhs95_06

  Rolen with 10 total bases in 3 ABs!
• mhs95_06

  Lopez having a bad game at SS!
• SportsAndLady

  

  Need a hit here from Ramon!
• swamisez

  

  Reds are still getting good at bats here in the 6th, nothing to show over the past two innings though. Gonna come down to middle relief (yikes). Del Rosario?
• SportsAndLady

  

  Just saw that Chapman pitched a good game tonight..7 IP 4 hits 2 runs...best part was he only threw 88 pitches
• CinciX12

  

  Gonna go out on a limb here and say that Brandon hits a ground ball and jogs to first.
• swamisez

  

  well, need a ground ball dp here, but I don't know he has the movement to do it tonight.
  
  Who is getting loose?
• wildcats20

  

  Uhhhhhhh
