Reds vs Pirates....Game 1

  Stubbs gives the Reds the lead 2-1

  The "Soft J" of Janish delievers and it's 3 - 1 ... 2 & 3rd w/ 2 out still
• justincredible

  

  Why didn't Speier send Stubbs? Bah!
• mhs95_06

  Janish's good hustle play takes the RBI opportunity right away from Hanigan. Homer's AB last time, resulting in a 3-2 liner to right, set the model for the Reds this inning to go the other way and get to Maholm.

  If he knew Janish was going for 2nd he surely would have!
• mhs95_06

  If Cabrera can play once a week and spell Janish, the Reds will be in good shape at SS, barring injury.

  You gotta at least send him part way regardless.

  STL up 3-1 after a 2Run HR by Holliday
• mhs95_06

  Tabata responds to the 3-spot by the Reds with a lead-off hit. Lets see if Homer can hold the lead this inning thru the meat of the Pirates order.

  Is Speier coaching 3rd? I thought he was Dusty's bench coach.
• osu45804

  

  Bailey gets out of a leadoff single & stolen base unharmed .... Lets add on more runs this Inning now

  Homer does the job by retiring the 3,4,5 hitters and is thru 4 innings with 63 pitches. He might be able to make 7 innings with good pitch efficiency and minimal runs allowed with the Reds adding to the lead.

  Well the top of the order goes out very quietly .... 7 Pitches
• wildcats20

  

  Damn. Gotta miss George tomorrow night most likely.

  Side note. The voice of Cleveland Brown is a big Reds fan and is at the game tonight.

  Yes Pic interviewed him earlier. Seems like a funny ass guy

  Lol that dude was safe by a mile.

  The wrong call of out at 2nd on the Cedeno SB attempt took the Pirates out of the 5th inning!

  And saved several pitches - Bailey now with 79. He had 75 and didn't have an out yet in the 5th.

  Cards are up 4-2 after a Solo HR by Carpenter .... Although he'll probably tell his kids he hit a grand slam
• mhs95_06

  Bob Davidson really helping out Homer and Hanigan on those out calls on steal attempts. This last one on McCutchen was much closer, but still wrong!
• osu45804

  

  Reds last 3 Innings I'm going to guess have seen a total of 24 pitches
• mhs95_06

  Hanigan 3/3 in OB%, but no RBI and no runs scored with Homer batting behind him.
