Reds @ Freaking Brewers...Game 2

• Ironman92

  

  Darnit.....I had a bad feeling about this series.....big for Milwaukee and they stole game 1
  
  
  Now the Reds must face Yovani Gallardo...who? Well he's 9-4 with a sensational 2.45 era and 2 shutouts on the year..with 6 total starts of 6 or more innings and 0 runs allowed.
  
  Better have a good game plan!
  
  Edinson will pitch for the Reds.

  We NEED these next 2 w/ the Braves coming into Cincinnati over the weekend
• mhs95_06

  Depends on Edinson's command. If he doesn't have it, could be a blowout. How about the Reds do not worry about scoring runs the first six innings, just try to get Gallardo to 100 pitches by then!

  I hope the Reds lose the next 2 games then sweep the Braves, and my Phillies can sweep the Nationals that same weekend.

  I hope the Phillies lose every game they play the rest of the year and you lose a game to the computer on NCAA football
• norwalk

  I agree that the only way the Reds win this one is to get the pitch count up early on Gallardo. If we continue with the first pitch pop-ups, etc it will be a long game.

  Need this one for sure. Be a good barometer of Volquez as well its not like the Brewers are slackers they just aren't having a good year. They have to be in the top 3 of dissapointing teams this year.
• Rotinaj

  

  Reds will not score more than 1 run. Gonna need a perfect game from EV. You can do it!!!!!!

  I guess so, I have received a couple heated PMs from ole Tiger.
• Ironman92

  

  screw the Phillies
  
  Orlando Cabrera....4 AB...11 pitches...you better have 2 hits if that's the case
  
  Reds need to battle tonight...scrape a win and take tomorrow's game
  
  Brewers sweep this series and they are right back in it.

  ^^^^
  
  Not if Stl keeps winning...
• Ironman92

  

  the Brewers are playing pretty well and if they sweep the Reds they are right back in it......wildcard included.
  
  
  Doesn't matter how anymore...just if you make it or not...the Brewers have what it takes to be one of those teams to go from 8 back right back into it
  
  You can only worry about yourself.
• karen lotz

  

  there are 7 teams ahead of them in the wild card race. The 8 games isn't insurmountable but with that many teams between them and the top spot, its going to be difficult to make up ground.
• Ironman92

  

  I know how it works and it happens nearly every year......they don't always make it to the playoffs....but someone in baseball will come from seemingly nowhere to right in the thick of it for the long haul.
  
  An 8 out of 10 would put them into the discussion. 15 out of 20 would make them the talk of the NL.....I know there are many teams ahead of them but I won't be the least bit surprised. Everyone have the Chi Sox winning 25 of 30?

  Cabrera

• dave

  Good to see Joe Morgan doing the tech talk tonight. Now they just need to get Barry back in the organization next year after they don't resign Dusty.
• wildcats20

  

  He was safe
  
  "Tie goes to the runner" and that was definitely a tie.
• dave

  wow that was close, good effort.
• wildcats20

  

  I don't think you can fault BP at all on that. I love seeing the aggressiveness.
  
  BUT, it would be 1-0 if he stays at 2nd lol
• wildcats20

  

  And it would be 2-0 now..
  
  But I'll take 3 hits in a row and 1-0.
• osu45804

  

  Should be 2-0 ... But OC & Votto connect w/ a double and Single 1-0 Reds
• swamisez

  

  he was out, not a smart play by BP, but the offense is pressing. Understandable.
• dave

  who knows, that AB would have been completely different with a runner on most likely. good start though, seems like the reds bats only show up when they are facing an ace these days.
