  F you Dusty!
  
  This will ruin Phillips' 20 game streak of fake bunting at the 1st pitch!

  Something cookin' here for Stubbs. Bases loaded NO ONE out, HE HAS TO GET THE JOB DONE
• wildcats20

  

  Could Heisey please get some time??? PLEASE???
  
  That was an absolutely terrible AB from Subbs.

  Reds try to play it conservatively by holding Rolen at 3rd on Bruce's two strike hit up the middle with 2 on and no out, but Gomes got back safely to 2nd to make it bases loaded and no out. But Stubbs takes strike 3 on the 3rd pitch.

  ^^Rolen was toast if they send him. Plus no point and trying it and reinjuring the hammy.
  
  Stubbs looked like shit, but Hanigan comes through with a liner to left.

  I don't disagree with holding Rolen, but you can't run up people's backs on the bases with no outs and take yourselves out of the inning. Hanigan's hit was big to get two runs in after the Stubbs ineptitude, and the runners getting to 2nd and 3rd could have been big, but it didn't turn out. It allowed Bronson to swing away freely without fear of grounding into a DP, then if he did make an out, which he did, it gave Cabrera a shot at a couple two out RBI. If Hanigan makes an out with no RBI, then the only shot is Arroyo with two out.

  Fuckin 2 out single from the pitcher then HR from Weeks .... tie game
• wildcats20

  

  Stubbs Ks looking again...
• mhs95_06

  There are a tremendous number of pitches that Stubbs can't handle. Tonight we see his weakness on back door breaking balls from a left! 2 Ks!
• wildcats20

  

  All you have to do is throw him 3 of them and it's an easy out
• wildcats20

  

  Bronson walks Braun and then plunks Prince
• mhs95_06

  Big 6-4-3 DP, now get the zero for the inning!
• wildcats20

  Strike 1 & 2 to Votto here in the 8th were TERRIBLE

  Fuck Jim Edmonds
• wildcats20

  

  Uhhhh Jimmy Edmonds CRUSHED that ball
• Ironman92

  

  That 1st at bat by Stubbs was atrocious....as was trying to get out Edmonds on that pitch...have they not ever seen him play?????
• wildcats20

  

  Oh and the foul ball was pretty damn close to being fair.
• SportsAndLady
