Reds @ Astros....Game1

  Hanigan gets a base hit scores 2
  
  3-1 Top of the 4th
• dave

  Stubbs needs to go to Louisville and bat leadoff for 2 weeks.
  
  Props to Bruce and Hanny for working the count.
• mhs95_06

  Cairo slows to screen the SS from Hanigan's two out grounder in the 5/6 hole and it gets thru to score two and a 3-1 Reds lead!
• jordo212000

  

  Yeah Stubbs screwed the pooch. You'll have that from young guys.
  
  Hanigan bailed him out though with the help of the SS
• osu45804

  

  Is this the first time that Leake has pitched with a lead all season?
• mhs95_06

  SS makes the right play to get the force at home with Stubbs going to first, then is inept to not keep Haningan's grounder in the infield to only allow one run on that play.
• dave

  Leake is not piching, that's at least the 2nd time you've said that osu, lol. friday night boozing?
• dave

  and no, Wood had a huge lead that game he pitched on 3 days rest, but he couldn't get through the 5th.
• mhs95_06

  You have to defend better than that with a pop-up and Pence on 3rd!
• dave

  I would say unbelievable, but really it's expected.
• wildcats20

  

  I don't think you can really blame BP if Jay wasn't calling him off. That falls on Jay IMO.
• mhs95_06

  Defensive lapses cost each team a run - should be 2-1 instead of 3-2! Doesn't make much difference except the Reds had a 2 run advantage and gave one away.
• osu45804

  

  I meant Travis Wood lol .... No boozing just a mental day I guess.... It's the heat it's getting to me I swear lol

  i agree 100%
• osu45804

  

  Votto!! Long Ball!! 4-2
  
  
  It was Votto right? LOL
• dave

  that was a rocket
• mhs95_06

  Good two out add on run on a HR by Votto.

  I've done the same thing several times this season. They seem so much alike. Good thing they throw with opposite arms, or I'd be more confused!
• osu45804

  

  And WOOD gives up a leadoff Double to the Pitcher, his 3rd hit of the season and 1st career double
• dave

  Well that play by Votto saved a run for now.
• mhs95_06

  Unconventional good play by Votto to hang up the runner going to 3rd, but Cairo botches the play by throwing to 2B too early on the hot-box and costs them the batter moving up to 2nd.
• osu45804

  

  Wood gets out of it w / the strikeout of Berkman
• mhs95_06

  So LeCure is going to start tomorrow in place of of Cueto who has the flu. I wonder if they'll DL Rolen to clear a spot, and then bring up an infielder on Sunday. Maybe the Astros will trade Oswalt and both teams will have a "plan B" pitcher Sautrday.
• mhs95_06

  Both defensive lapses by the Reds result in giving the Astros an extra base, but also both came very close to being double plays!

  LeCure might go tomorrow, he is there in case Cueto can't go. Rolen is expected to play tomorrow night. My guess would be they would send Fisher or Smith down if they have to start LeCure, then send him right back down after his start and bring up a pen arm in Louisville.
