  Are you saying the ump has a personal vendetta against Victorino?
• mhs95_06

  Like most right handed batters(.201 BA), Sappelt is getting killed by Hamels with change-ups.

  They have done it many many times this year. Have not missed a Phillies game all year. Many of times they won't send runners if it's not a forsure run. Jimmy and Shane are the only ones who will do it but that is it.

  During that plate appearance yes. Did you not see the look Shane gave him? Not bitching about it just pointing it out happens to every team.
• dave

  Yonder will break this tie

  Sorry I just don't buy the ump has a personal vendetta against Shane Victorino.
• Tiger2003

  

  Homer is doing a great job tonight tying up the Phillies hitters. His shoulder looks pretty damn good.

  Didn't say he had a personal vendetta against Shane. It could have been any player up there but as soon as a player gives some ump the look either a pitcher or a hitter most times the next call won't go there way. That is all I was saying.
• Tiger2003

  

  WTF?!?!? Charlie what are you fucking doing?
• Tiger2003

  

  Well the Reds will win this game!!

  Ooooh okay I see what you are saying now.
  
  Don't really agree, but I see now.
• dave

  haha Bruce you cocksucker.
• mhs95_06

  Terrible AB by Bruce! The lead-off hitter walks ahead of him on the relief pitchers first batter, then Bruce swings at the first two pitches like that - way out of the zone low breaking pitches. C'mon man!

  Just turned the game on. How has Alonso been at 3rd??

  don't think he's touched the ball
• mhs95_06

  Alonso being brought back down to earth on offense tonight.
• Tiger2003

  

  Well good inning for Bastardo got through Votto and Bruce with no damage done.
• dave

  Bruce down to .246 against lefties, think he was over .333 after his hot May.
• mhs95_06

  Reds have to hope they can hold the Phillies offense, get a couple guys on in the 8th, so that the three consecutive lefties can get up in the 9th against a Phillie right hander from the bull-pen.
• Tiger2003

  

  Boom!!!!
