  Who is getting loose?

  
  BP has to stay in front of that ball and get at least one out!

  pretty sure the Cards even up the score or go up by two this inning. DelRosario will be all over the place I imagine.

  Not sure I agree w/ bringing in the rookie here...
• wildcats20

  

  He better pound the bottom of the strike zone or this is going to get UGLY.

  Philips was in front of that ball, unfortunately it was hit so hard, playing the hop was guesswork. He would really have to smother it, and even then no guarantee that he can control it to make an out.

  Do the Reds retain info.....every game Colby Rasmus hits a low fastball opposite field gap and kills us....he has 8 HR...3 vs the Reds this season
  
  Why neither pitcher over-utilized the inside fastball is beyond me.....that ump game a great pitch location for the pitcher but both pitchers kept going away.
  
  
  
  
  BTW....I love Scott Rolen.

  haha funniest play ever
• wildcats20

  

  We're gonna lose this game by 4+
• SportsAndLady

  

  Are you fucking kidding me
• swamisez

  

  Rolen, dang. That was a play a major leaguer makes. Hurts. But it is only the 6th. Still have three more ab's
• SportsAndLady

  

  Fuck taht ump...bullshit call there
• wildcats20

  

  I wanna say bad call, but I don't know.
  
  No way to tell with any of those angles.
• Ironman92

  

  Good God...how about giving the infield a ball they can see.....gold glovers Phillips and Rolen get eaten up......the ball is getting drilled!
  
  
  Glad we don't have a guy in the minors that could help our pitching out. ugh....maybe in 2013
• swamisez

  

  Pujols still shouldn't see much to hit here, just pitch to Holliday
• gerb131

  

  I leave for 34mins and I come back to this hopefully they can get this one turned around.
• Ironman92

  

  At no time did Votto reach his foot back to the bag.....which means he was touching it the whole time.....that was a horrible call.
• swamisez

  

  Thank you Albert for being a little selfish and swinging at ball 3. Needed that one. DelRosario did fine. Rolen should have made the play and the call on the grounder that votto picked was iffy.
• wildcats20

  

  Well got Fat Albert out....
  
  This game is over if we don't tie it and take the lead this half.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Tough inning...real tough inning..gotta get the bats out
• Ironman92

  

  10 to win
• wildcats20

  

  And 450 pound Reyes on to pitch.

  He WAS in front of it, then leaned away. Leaning away, if his glove misses it, its a big base hit. If he stays in front and his glove misses it, his body likely keeps it in front and he likely can get at least an out. Either way, if his glove catches it, it is a double play. Reds infield gloves sure let them down in that pivotal half inning.
