Reds @ Dodgers...Game 2

• Ironman92

  

  Johnny Cueto vs Chad Billingsley
  
  Billingsley had nothing on them the last meeting....hoping for much of the same.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Bit premature, ya?
• Ironman92

  

  actually I was 24 days over my due date
• Ironman92

  

  Fewer mistakes last night and a well played game breaking the streak.
  
  Another monkey off back....another win wanted. Phillips stepped up last night.....we need someone else to do it tonight.

  Rolen 5

  Janish 6
  Cueto 1

  That looks like a winning lineup.
• Ironman92

  

  For the while I'd have Hernandez 5th
  
  
  
  
  
  our 7th and 8th hitters are very good for those spots....which can help
• Ironman92

  

  Back in early May I spoke of needing Phillips in the #1 or #2 hole as opposed to the #4......I was stupid by some:

  Phillips would be as much of a disaster in the 1 spot as he is in the 4 spot.
  
  I'm holding out hope that the lineup was switched back only because of the Rolen off day today. But I think we all know that BP will be in the clean up spot for the vast, vast majority of the season.

  Anddddd Volquez walks in a run
• osu45804

  

  Cueto with terrible control here in the 1st Inning over 30+ pitches and 3 walks and 7 batters come to the plate and L.A. lead 1-0 after 1
• Ironman92

  

  The Riot seems to kill the Reds.
  
  Cueto is throwing some straight balls
• Ironman92

  

  straight ball to Ethier
• Ironman92

  

  Paul Keels: "Ethier pops one to centerfield"
  
  Paul it went 430 feet for a HR.......get the heartrate over 60 and call it a shot or whatever. I didn't watch the hit but heard Keels' call and thought he just hit a routine fly to CF....not 80 ft further.
• Ironman92

  

  Keels just mentioned Janish losing his 5 game hitting streak......pet peeve
• osu45804

  

  Dodgers just playing HomeRun derby tonight ..... I HATE the Reds TV Crew
• Ironman92

  

  uh......how's that straightball working? 4 HR in 5 batters
• Ironman92

  

  Keels again:
  
  "Phillips gets on the curveball"
  
  
  He hit it 180 feet.
• closer26

  yeah my bad by the way....definitely not edinson pitching lol...but yeah cueto looks a tad off....just a tad
• Ironman92

  

  Let's go Mike Leake.....sparkplug
• Ironman92

  

  Billingsley just took 6 seconds to get to 1st and cost himself a single
• Ironman92

  

  My son who is going into 1st grade ran to 1st at the Reds kidzone in 5.11 seconds
• Ironman92

  

  less than 10 pitches for Leake.........bottom of the order to the rescue!
• Ironman92

  

  Hernandez and Janish batting 12th and 13th both get hits and now Leake is batting
  
  no outs
• osu45804

  

  Strike 3 on Leake was terrible!!
• Ironman92

  

  Hernandez and Janish have OPSs way better than Stubbs, Gomes and Bruce
