Reds vs Angels. Game 1

  • se-alum
    Reds are workin' Weaver. 55 pitches thus far.

    Hopefully ludwick isn't injured badly. Need him. This first month is a brutal one for reds.

    It looked like Luddy told the trainer that "it popped out"


    Great now the trainers are looking at Cueto
  • Midstate01
    Phillips never makes errors like that. Cmon cueto!
  • Azubuike24
    The way Ludwick reacted, he slid, appeared fine (didn't appear to be acute pain), tried to lift the shoulder and immediately realized something wasn't quite right. He walked off not being able to even hold the arm up. Appeared to be a dislocation. If so, he's gone probably a month or more. Heisey always wanted the starting job...here you go, AGAIN.

    I didn't see it, did he slide feet first?

    No, it was a head first slide.
  • Azubuike24
    Head first, led with the right shoulder. But he then pushed himself up on the base and appeared fine, then raised the arm and had a "WTF" reaction. Classic "pop out." Maybe it will be less than a month, but from my understanding (never had it happen to myself), a dislocation like that can leave an extremely painful bruise/swelling.

    At least it's not his throwing arm, but still. He's gotta swing the bat...

    Johnny Cueto 5IP 64 Pitches 6 K's... Only error was a HR to Iannetta
  • Azubuike24
    The sooner it gets to the pen, advantage Reds. I'd like to see Chapman today, but kind of hope he's not needed.

    So he jerked the shoulder out grabbing the bag to keep himself from oversliding as he was going in hard to get the extra base. Head first slides are the wrong thing to do!
  • osu45804
    Tied 1-1 after 5... Cueto 64 pitches, Weaver 82 pitches

    It actually looked like it jammed up while he started the slide. There was no give in the dirt. Watching the replay, both arms actually got jammed up, one right after the other. But the right arm took the brunt.

    Brandon Inge would tell Ludwick to pop it back into place and quit being a *****.
  • Azubuike24
    Last 9 years (2005 to 2013), the Reds have had 9 different lead off hitters. Name them.

    Freel
    Phillips
    Choo
    Stubbs
    Tavaras (sigh)
    Patterson (sigh)
    Cabrera?
    Cozart?
    Lopez?

    Can't think of many other possibilities.

    Runs are at a premium today

    I just saw a replay and he didn't go in that hard and definitely didn't jerk it out by grabbing the base.
  • mhs95_06
    Very good play by Johnny on the bunt to get an out at first.
  • sherm03
    According to Twitter, it's officially a dislocated shoulder for Luddy.
  • Azubuike24
    8-10 weeks. Ouch. Probably see Phipps up soon.
  • osu45804
    Cueto is a boss
  • sherm03
    That was huge for Cueto. Let's hope the Reds can put some runs across now.
  • mhs95_06
    Cueto has to work hard to have a successful final inning. 105 pitches, 9 Ks, 3 H, HR, 1 non-intentional BB.

    Is it me or did Broxton look absolutely filthy? Looks like he was ready to close...
