Reds at Cubs game 1

• mhs95_06

  I thought Rolen made the wrong choice going for the DP, but they pulled it off!
• Laley23

  

  That was a heck of a double play!
• Ironman92

  

  Scott Rolen again!...Phillips made a very good and strong turn....nice play by both to get Lee out and set up more heroics.
• Ironman92

  

  There was no choice with Rolen 0% hesitation....full steam ahead.....HUGE DP...HUGE
• Ironman92

  

  replay shows Rolen didn't have a great angle to go home
• mhs95_06

  When is the last time you saw a 3rd baseman "circle" the ball to get the angle on the throw? Great play by Rolen and Phillips.

  Wow.... just terrible
• Ironman92

  

  these stupid Cubs' pitcher keep getting strikes and flailing swings and then they hang and Gomes and now stubbs have chipped in
  
  
  
  Can't hang pitches in the big leagues.
  
  
  Stubbs must steal.

  Because, unlike Dusty, he made the decision early to circle the ball and go for the DP! I think its an easy throw home for the tag if he chooses early(on contact) to go to home.

  Great hit and run or steal lol ... 1st & 3rd w/ 1 out
• SportsAndLady

  

  Come on Phillips, get that run in!
• mhs95_06

  Please no DP BP!
• Ironman92

  

  I have trouble second guessing Rolen on that play.....I'd much rather have a good angle to Phillips for teh turn than an iffy angle on two throws for the catcher to turn it to 1st base.
  
  
  Rolen avoided the runner....going home would've put the runner potentially in the way twice as opposd to once at 2nd...which Phillips is far more used to than Corky
  
  
  DOesn't matter...nice play Rolen and Philips
• Ironman92

  

  Marmol is one of the last guys I would want to face.
• osu45804

  

  BP Walks.... Bases Loaded for OC!
• Ironman92

  

  I know Marmol is crzy......but Cabrera rarely misses the ball...I'd squeeze if he gets ahead
• Ironman92

  

  ....but he didn't
• Ironman92

  

  c'mon Cabrera battle!
• Ironman92

  

  here comes a huge hit
• osu45804

  

  WTF Cabrera!!
• Ironman92

  

  Votto time......back up your announcers Votto
• mhs95_06

  Why didn't Cabrera take that 1-2 pitch for the team. He laid off a tough 2-2 pitch but couldn't on a worse 3-2 pitch.
• Ironman92

  

  better not pitch him low Carlos!
• Ironman92

  

  mhs......that had to be the last thing in his head trying to make contact off of the toughest pitcher to make contact
