Reds Vs. Padres: Game 1

• osu45804

  

  10:05 Start time out West..... Lead is 7 games and Magic Number sits at 3. While the Reds are playing the Padres the Cards are playing the Cubs who have taken the last 4 series from them. St. Louis won today 7-1. Hopefully Reds can take 2 of 3 in St. Louis and hopefully Clinch the Division at home next week.
  
  Starting Pitchers:
  
  Chris Young ( 1 - 0 ) 0.90 ERA Vs. Bronson Arroyo ( 16 - 10 ) 3.98 ERA
  
  Bronson could have 18-19 wins by now and could solidly be a Cy Young candidate if it were not for a few blown saves or leaving with a few No Decisions...
  
  Reds Lineup:
  
  Phillips 4
  Cabrera 6
  Bruce 9
  Rolen 5
  Gomes 7
  Hernandez 3
  Stubbs 8
  Hanigan 2
  Arroyo 1
  
  Votto sits for his 3rd straight game

  Saw a nice hammer thrown by Arroyo on Baseball Tonight... looks like he has good stuff tonight
• Ironman92

  

  I was too young to ever get to watch Brooks Robinson redefine the 3rd base position but Scott Rolen just cannot be far behind what Robinson could do.

  Thank You Bud Black for bringing in the left to face Francisco....now Dusty can use someone a little more likely to make contact and drive in the run from 3rd

  Cairo legs out another Infield single (pinch hitting for Arroyo) and the Reds lead 3-2 in the 6th

  Nice outing from Ondrusek ... Rhodes in w/ 1 Out in the 7th
• osu45804

  

  Rhodes allows a base hit & Walk, then gets a force out at 2 after a bobbled ball from Cabrera... Masset in w/ Runners on the corners with 2 out
• osu45804

  

  This umpire sucks ... A couple questionable calls with Rhodes on the mound and now a couple with Masset against the chump Eckstein and he draws a 4 pitch walk... Bases Loaded w/ 2 Out for Tejada
