Reds @ Pirates--Game 1

• SportsAndLady

  

  No votto in the lineup, hopefully this isn't a problem...

  Ross Ohlendorf starting for the Pirates. That means they score one run at maximum.
  
  EDIT: I also can see Ohlendorf getting shelled. He left his last start due to a line drive off the head, which is the sort of thing that can cause a pitcher to get nervous and tentative on the mound. And if he pitches like that against the Reds, that's a situation that could lead to him getting bombed.

  Votto tweaked his wrist yesterday

• Ironman92

  

  lol.....stupid laptop...lol
  
  When #5-#7 hitters aren't being very patient or productive I'd like to see Ryan hanigan and his mostly solid at bats to hit #6 or #7 in the lineup

  This better be a beatdown, I do not want to see Springer in there to close out the game.
• wildcats20

  

  lol what do ya know?? BP bunt attempt at the first pitch of the game.
• osu45804

  

  First 3 runners reach and the Reds take a 1-0 lead
• osu45804

  

  Bruce is pretty much worthless when he gets 2 strikes on him.... Reds strand runners at 2nd & 3rd
• dave

  haha that was ugly. I think I'd rather see Nix, never thought I'd say that.
• dave

  Not exactly a great first inning for Wood, but at least he throws strikes.
• osu45804

  

  Leadoff double for Heisey to begin the 2nd
• osu45804

  

  SMH... After back to back walks Cairo grounds out on the 1st pitch leaving the bases loaded .... Reds strand 5 through 2 Innings so far
• dave

  That's more like it Wood. Let's get the guy some run support for a change.
• dave

  Come on Hanigan
• osu45804

  

  Ground Out RBI for Hanigan
• osu45804

  

  After 2 1/2 it's 2-0 Reds but Cincy has left 7 men on base through 3
