Reds at Cubs game 1

• Ironman92

  

  They need Zambrano's offense.

  Here you go...only faced 29 batters......did throw 104 pitches....and I was wrong it was 1988.

  Back at you Pico!......22 years later.

  lol at Chris Welsh's timing about Jay Bruce...."he's getting better and better as we watch"....then he flails at a pitch 2 seconds later for the whiff

  When Zambrano blew up at Lee, Pinella was quick to point out all the bad pitches Zambrano made. Do you think in this case he'll cite the "dumbass" pitches to Gomes? Gomes is going after too many out of the zone pitches and jumping at too many good pitches to hit now - he has been lucky to get those pitches to hit today.

  As soon as Wood gets in position such that he is still in the lead if he gives up a HR, he walks the lead-off batter! Can't stand prosperity!

  Good Job Travis!
• mhs95_06

  Today will be a good indicator if Massett has put his "funk" behind him.
• Ironman92

  

  I don't blame Dusty on pulling him....but man what a chance to wee what the kid is made of when the going gets tough and you're wearing down......I think he would've been OK....I would've let him go one more batter reaching base....but manager often fear of letting the go ahead run bat and potentially lose the game and the positive appearance.

  I pitch Rhodes here.....
• Ironman92

  

  game on the line folks.....Masset needs to step up for his team
• mhs95_06

  Good play by Massett on the bunt! Rolen may have held 3rd too long, but Massett pulled it out.

  Well Damn..........
• HeathAlum21

  That was on a tee.
• Ironman92

  

  Atrocious pitch......and Dusty remains atrocious
• Ironman92

  

  Nice job with the righty facing 3 lefties.....Dusty was always so big on that......and he has the best relief pitcher in the NL but uses Masset........for Dusty's benefit I hope Rhodes was unavailable
• mhs95_06

  A hanging splitter for the tie! Why did Dusty not have a pitcher ready when Wood walked the first one?
• Ironman92

  

  kudos to Lou...just keeps sending up lefties to bat versus Masset
• mhs95_06

  Poor range by Cabrera!
• osu45804

  

  Masset is GARBAGE
• Ironman92

  

  Dusty has forever shown to overuse guys that can't do much
  
  I will not believe teh Reds to be serious contenders to win any playoff series with Dusty Baker in charge.
• Ironman92

  

  He would not have thrown out Fontenot at 1st...but it should be 1st and 2nd and 1 out
• HeathAlum21

  Dusty Baker has always been terrible at managing pitchers, especially young pitchers. I hope he doesn't ruin ours. Does Kerry Wood and Mark Prior ring a bell,anyone?
• Ironman92

  

  You just have to wonder if Dusty ever thinks ahead.
• Ironman92

  

  totally different situations with Wood compared to Kerry and Prior.......Dusty just never knows who to bring in or when to start warming them up
• osu45804

  

  Wow that play saved the game for the moment right there
