Cardinals at Reds game 1

• dave

  Westbrook vs Cueto.
  
  LaRussa being the little bitch he is, will throw Carpenter and Garcia the next 2 games.

  Be nice to get off to a good start tonight. Just wanna see us stay within 4-5 games at the end of July. This months schedule has been unreal. But after this month it gets much easier and no west coast trips!!

  Stubbs is better than Heisey in CF.
• mhs95_06

  Heisey with a two handed catch above the top of the wall to get Albert and make it a 1,2,3 inning for Cueto with two long fly outs.

  yeah
• mhs95_06

  Another long drive and this one by Heisey, and it gets out for a 1-0 game with the Reds with still 27 outs left.

  24?
• Midstate01

  

  Terrible terrible at bat by Phillips. Never swung at a good pitch.
• dave

  nothing from 3,4,5 but a lead after 1 is promising
• mhs95_06

  Cozart effectively steals 2nd with one out, on the RF rather than the P &C and turns Joey's fly ball into a productive out, but the Reds can't get the 2nd run in as BP takes a couple wild swings and Ks and Bruce tires to pull a 3-1 pitch on the outside edge and hits a weak grounder to 2B. Then Cueto tries to let StL score by issuing a lead-off walk, but BP turns a weak grounder to him into a tag and throw DP. 1-0 after 1 and a half.
• mhs95_06

  Rolen leads off the 2nd with a double. Let's see if the bottom of the order is proficient at getting him in.
• mhs95_06

  Lewis with a hard grounder, but an un-productive out being to the left side.
• mhs95_06

  Ramon fails with a K!
• mhs95_06

  Cueto Ks, so the only benefit of Rolen's lead-off double is it allows the Reds to start with the top of the line-up in the 3rd.
• mhs95_06

  So far, the Reds don't look like they are going be playing better in the 2nd half. 5 guys can't advance a runner from 2B in their ABs. Pitcher gives up a lead-off BB, and an error allows the Cards lead-off batter to reach from the #8 hole playing perfectly into a pitcher sacrifice situation.
• mhs95_06

  Cueto with a very smart play after he flags down a grounder with a runner on 2nd and one out. Now can he get Rasmus out to end the threat and not face Albert with runners on?
• Midstate01

  

  No way did Lewis go around. I can't believe they even asked!
• dave

  Lewis is the most unlucky Reds player I've seen in awhile.
• Midstate01

  

  Heisey with a 2 homer night. 2-0

  I never saw a replay from the 3B line, did anyone?
• mhs95_06

  Two stolen bases by Reds on caught fly balls.
