Los Angeles Angels (Joe Blanton) at Cincinnati Reds (Bronson Arroyo) - Game 3

• Azubuike24

  

  1 in a row. May I start every other game thread of the season.
  
  Likely the first start for Mesoraco and Hannahan, maybe Paul...

  There is nothing really exciting about that

  Want exciting? Joe Blanton went to UK!
  
  All joking aside, the pitching match-up clearly favors Cincinnati...and IMO, I can't justify sitting guys for any other reason than they suck.
  
  This isn't July. Play your best lineup (sans the C spot).

  Meso might start, but I can't imagine sitting Frazier already.
• Rotinaj

  

  Trout hits for 2 cycles. Reds lose 2-0.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Reds lose 6-4

  I have a feeling arroyo takes one on the chin and gets shelled.
• georgemc80

  This had been a surprisingly even series. No matter the outcome, I have hope for a great season. I will miss the Astros though. That was my only chance to watch the reds in person.

  Better get the edit in before it starts, to be official.

  Doesn't Baker want to keep Arroyo and Leake separated because they have similar stuff? Or something like that?

  PRobably something like that I would guess. 3 hard throwers and then two softies......
  
  Not that any team gets to see all 5, mostly just 3.
  
  Trout with his 5th K already this season. He do well in ST? Could see their fans getting a bit frustrated if he struggles this year after bulking up. Getting strong is a great thing, but if ya sacrifice alot of your flexibility especially in baseball that could be a bad thing

  The Toddfather strikes! 2-0 Reds
• Midstate01

  

  Fuckin hanigan. Perfect throw from choo
  2-2.
• Rotinaj

  

  Fuck you Bruce. 0-8 with risp already this season.
• Midstate01

  

  Frazier crushing the ball today.
• mhs95_06

  Hanigan bails out Cozart's failure on the Reds' 2nd try of the inning with an AB with runner on 3rd and less than two out. Reds get a run thanks to the error by Trout.
• Midstate01

  

  3-3. Pujols sac fly.

  Angels get their RBI on the first attempt with none out and runner on 3rd. they had a runner on first though, too, so a good job by Arroyo to give up just the one from where he was when Albert came up.

  Heisey destroys that pitch... 2-Run Bomb
• Midstate01

  

  Finally heisey does something! !
• mhs95_06

  Heisey powders a hanging slider for a 2 run HR and a 5-3 lead!
• Midstate01

  

  I dont think ive seen votto be aggressive in any bat outside of the game winner last night. Taking a lot of good pitches.
