Astros @ Reds--Game 2

• SportsAndLady

  

  Pretty hilarious lineup
  
  Via John Fay:
  Bloomquist 9, Valaika 4, Alonso 3, Francisco 5, Heisey 8, Nix 7, Janish 6, Miller 2, Cueto 1.
  
  
  I still think these games are extremely important in trying to avoid Philly in the NLDS. So we need a win from these guys.

  Gotta love Janish hitting 7th with this lineup. haha

  Poor Cueto lol

  I say Bloomquist, Valaika and janish have good offensive games.
  
  Need big boys ready to PH at just about every big moment of the game if the game is in reach.
• Ironman92

  

  Votto PH Grand Slam in the 7th....1 out.....2-2 count.....94 MPH fastball.....LFC....398 feet......9:27 PM

  And from that spot he failed on the most important plate appearance of the game for the Reds so far, popping up with the tying run on 3rd with 1 out. If Bruce is in right field the Astros are still looking for their first run.
• mhs95_06

  Valaika with a great play earlier to save a run, now he gives one up on the recent play.
• Ironman92

  

  Earlier Valaika made one of the best plays I've seen at 2nd this year.....then was confused on the recent play.

  lol

  I really question how intelligent Yonder Alonso is. That attempted play was just silly. Crap a player who may be fiarly creative might do if he didn't have any idea how the game is played. That attempt was like a rebounder outletting the ball behind his back for no reason whatsoever to the PG.
  
  A -1,000,000,000th on the Buehrle meter

  did I spell his name right?....I know in standard english that uehr makes the "er" sound
  
  I love me some cuehrly fires!

  Anyone not smile when the crowd went crazy for Bruce being announced to hit?
• Ironman92

  

  Bruce's HR could propel him into Chris Sabo status among Reds fans.

  I didn't smile because I hate Bruce, winning, and the Reds in general.
• mhs95_06

  I hope the walk-off NL Central clincher hasn't gone to Bruce's head now making his plate approach all messed up!
• mhs95_06

  Would Bloomquist have caught that ball in RCF that Bruce just handled very well?

  My grandma could've caught that. Routine.
• mhs95_06

  Stubbs SB virtually assures Votto will make it to the plate!
• Ironman92

  

  They going to pitch to Votto?
  
  I'd throw him crap to see if he offers befofre I'd walk him.
• Ironman92

  

  Bruce will be fine...he may suck for a little bit...but as soon as he drills a couple of off speed pitches he'll be a boomin again.
• Ironman92

  

  Votto was patient.
  
  God damn I'm happy!
  
  SHIT
• mhs95_06

  Costly, costly loss for the Reds chances to avoid the Phils!

  Hopefully thats the last time we see the Louisville lineup, need to win as many as possible and get that homefield
