  Fuck!! Pretty pathetic AB's for Cabrera & Votto .. BOTH swung at Ball 4

  There is a reason why he is the toughest guy in baseball to put the ball in play on.

  Yes, but it should have quickly popped in his head to not get out of the way when that slow pitch was coming way inside.

  To extras we go......

  Nice job by Smith!
• mhs95_06

  What a good play by Castro to snag that bad high hop on Rolen's grounder.

  few players are "headier than Orlando Cabrera"...if he wasn't thinking of letting that ball hit him....few would've. He had 2 strikes and was completely focused on trying to make contact off a pitcher with 15 strikeouts per 9 innings
  
  
  BOth batters looked bad...but Marmol does that to everyone....even the statically best hitter in the NL.

  Single from Bruce ... 1st & 3rd again w/ 1 out
• mhs95_06

  Much higher chance Stubbs will K than hit into a DP!

  Great slide Bruce!! 3-2 Reds lead

  Whoohoooooo

  The speed pressure the Reds put on kept the Cubs from the inning ending DP.

  Jesus Christ CoCo! I can't defend you if you keep this shit up!
• osu45804

  

  And this one belongs to the REDS!!
• mhs95_06

  Reds get two good calls on the last two pitches!
• SportsAndLady

  

  Thank God
  
  Great win against Chicago's best pitcher this year...back to back wins against ace pitchers.

  Hell yes. Left a city on the bases but we will take it.

  The difference in this tight game was what happened for each team trying for a double play with runners on first and third with one out. Reds turned it and Cubs did not. Shouldn't have been that tight if Dusty, with his rookie pitcher throwing a gem for 7 innings, has a pitcher ready to come in quickly in the 8th even if Wood only throws one pitch. Great game to watch. I'm glad I took the afternoon off to watch. Planning to do the same tomorrow. Wrigley will play different with the wind changing to the south for the rest of the series.

  16 hits and only 3 runs. Not sure if I should feel good about that or not. Good thing they ended up getting the W.

  I really like how Wood played today. Didn't seem like he let his nerves get the best of him. 12 in a row sat down at one point?
