Reds @ Stros - Game 1

• wildcats20

  

  Haven't started a game thread in awhile...maybe this will help Coco lol
  
  Kind of a big series as far as overall seeding goes for the Reds. Right now the Reds hold the "2nd seed," only a half game ahead of the Padres and Giants. They would open up the playoffs with the Braves and have home field in that series.
  
  I think the Reds will get 2/3.
  
  Game 1
  Cueto(12-5) vs Rodriguez(11-12)
• wildcats20

  

  Giants and Dads are playing right now, so that half game lead will be gone no matter what after tonight.

  Magic Number is still 10 w/ 17 games left ....

  Hernandez C
  Stubbs CF

  Just curious why Bruce is out again?
• rugbywrestler

  Good to see Rolen back in there
• dave

  Dusty said before Bruce came back they won't rush him and he would sit against LHP.

  Astros lead 1-0 after a Bases Loaded Sac Fly

  I hate Wandy Rodriguez
• osu45804

  

  Error by Stubbs makes it 2-0 Stros
• osu45804

  

  Back 2 back walks from Cueto & Phillips and a sac bunt from Cabrera and then walk to Votto .... Reds w/ Bases Loaded w/ 1 Out for Rolen
• osu45804

  

  Then of course Rolen swings at Ball 4 and strikes out and Gomes pops up in the infield to blow the Inning
• osu45804

  

  Reds have 0 hits through 5
• osu45804

  

  Reds get a Double from Votto (1st hit of the game for the Reds) and walk from Rolen to begin the 6th
• osu45804

  

  3 Run BOMB Jonny Gomes!!!
  
  3-2 Reds lead
• osu45804

  

  Bloomquist is 0-3 w/ 3 Strikeouts ..... Would much rather have Bruce in there instead no matter how much he struggles Vs. LHP. Will Dusty sit Bruce in the playoffs vs. LHP?

  Tie Game as Cueto gives up a solo HR to Lee
• osu45804

  

  Rolen scored that one but Pence makes fucking diving catch to save the tie game
• osu45804

  

  Chapman having his worst Inning this season..... Bases Loaded w/ 0 out
• osu45804

  

  Well Chapman has allowed his first 2 runs of his career... Reds down 5-3 ... Fucking piece of shit Astros
• Ironman92

  

  Astros making plays...Reds aren't.
  
  
  Chapman is throwing the pitches...but you can't throw fastballs down the middle at any speed in the majors......I'd like to go back to that inning with an 0-1 count to Kepp and try again...Kepp is one of the hardest to whiff guys in the league...anyone on the reds know that.....no way does he see 2 straight fastballs for strikes
• osu45804

  

  Alonso took one right to the wall, Right Fielders back was on the wall w/ 2 on that could have given the Reds the lead
• osu45804

  

  Lead is down to 6 games as the Reds blow this game tonight in Houston 5 - 3 and the Cards beat San Diego 14 - 4

  As I recall he also has a blown save, allowing two inherited runners to score.

  Reds looking straight up AWFUL this month. Cardinals not looking much better but have beat SD 2 straight and have the pirates and cubs the rest of the month. Time to step it up.
