Braves @ Reds - Game 3

• justincredible

  

  Hanson vs Volquez
  
  Volquez needs to get back to the way he pitched in his first outing as soon as possible or it'll be a rough final two months of the season. Hopefully Stubbs gets the day off today and Heisey get the start in centerfield. Hopefully there isn't a save situation and Cordero is not needed again today.

  I guess August is here and we are in a dog fight. It's really simple. We need to win as many as we can, anyway we can. If at the end of August we are where we are now, I think we win the division. The Western trip will decide a lot for this edition of the Reds.

  doesn't matter how you do it now, just win baby.
  
  San Fran is 2 up in the wild card

  I should have paid the $200 and stayed for todays game or at least sat outside us bank arena with a cup for change all night. I feel like I got run over by bus.
  
  Braves need to cash in runs. They have left A LOT of people on base and should have had a couple big innings. Only scoring 2 runs yesterday was pathetic. Glaus needs to be DFA'd. Hopefully Ankiel and Farnsworth made it to town last night and Ankiel is in center field today...

  Why would game not be shown in HD? The guide has the game listed but all I get is a blue screen.

  Blown call at first base
• karen lotz

  

  osu, how do you feel about the Braves?
• osu45804

  

  Alex Gonzalez..... Really?
  
  EV is seriously struggling since his 1st start off the DL
• osu45804

  

  Volquez has given up 2 hits 1HR 3BB & thrown 46 pitches through 2 Innings

  Reds making Hanson look like a All-Star .... But then again it's Sunday and the Reds are 6-10 on Sundays w/ 6 Shutouts so it's just normal for them
• karen lotz

  

  You make it seem like Hanson is a fucking bum. He would probably be the Reds #2.

  Braves again squandering scoring chances. 2 men LOB in each of first 3 innings.

  He'd be the #3 or #4, IMO. #5 if Volquez returns to form.
  
  I'd take Cueto and Arroyo over him for sure. Possibly Leake.
• karen lotz

  

  You are right, I forgot what team we were discussing. He'd likely be in AA

  Actually, you're right. I'd take a DL Bailey and Harang over him. He's easily the worst pitcher on the planet.

  Bad news for the Phillies, Ryan Howard leaves after the 1st inning after hitting second base weird and spraining his ankle. He left the game.
• osu45804

  

  Next year the Reds should schedule no games on Sundays and just play double headers on Saturdays
• osu45804

  

  If Volquez had better control right now he'd go another 2-3 Innings but after 96 pitches through 5 I'm sure his day his done
• osu45804

  

  2 Out Triple from Phillips ties the game 1-1
• justincredible

  

  Hah, Hanson is such a bum! Pathetic!
• osu45804

  

  SWEET! Reds take the lead 2-1
• justincredible

  

  Hanson's teammates hate him so much they intentionally error to allow the Reds to take the lead!
• justincredible

  

  Alright, I'll stop now.
