  Homer is dealing.
• wildcats20

  

  First major league stolen base for Billy.
  
  Like to see him swipe 3rd too.
• Azubuike24

  

  Derrick Robinson should be in that spot during the playoffs though...
• Azubuike24

  

  Of course, game with the flow of a playoff game, and then Manny Parra comes in...
• Midstate01

  

  Why is parra still pitching? Even if he gets the two righties, it makes no sense. why even have lecure warming up.
  
  oh and chapman hasn't pitched in like a month...great news...

  IF they had already had a run, you gotta think they'd have given him the green light to try it

  A week, but yeah.
  
  I'm a little confused why Parra was left in as well.
• Azubuike24

  

  Latos CG yesterday. Bailey goes 7. This should be your 2 best RP's, Hoover the 8th and Chapman the 9th. If Dusty blows this, I'm gonna be furious. Why Parra...
• wildcats20

  

  Well here we go.

  Haven't seen any of this, just saw the score/box score.
  
  Nice to see Billy Ham score...when Frazier knocks runs in, the Reds seem to win.
  
  Hell of an outing by Homer...7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 8 ks
• Azubuike24

  

  B2B2B sliders. Crazy.
• wildcats20

  

  103!!!!
  
  Also, the slide piece looks so filthy tonight.
• wildcats20

  

  103 again!
• SportsAndLady

  

  Hot damn
• Azubuike24

  

  Best win of the year.
• Midstate01

  

  chapman was fuckin filthy!! did not expect that at all!
• Terry_Tate

  

  Is that some of the Billy Hamilton spark there? Chapman was filthy there.
• Azubuike24

  

  Johnny Cueto threw 35 pitches today. He is changing his pitching motion to a less-twisting version of his delivery. Interesting.
• justincredible

  

  This was an awesome game to attend. Weather was perfect, Billy's debut did not disappoint, and Chapman was filthy. I'd mention the free pizza but it's annoying how fucking crazy the fans go for that shit, the game seems almost secondary to most when they get to about 9 strikeouts.

  Does Ludwick score from first on Frazier's double??? 50/50....if not Hamilton was the difference.

  Yeah, definitely a tossup. Hamilton probably scores from home on that double.

  Billy Hamilton is the first player in Retrosheet history to steal a base and score the only run in a 1-0 game in his major league debut.

  Just saw video of his steal. Molina jumped up as the pitch was coming and didn't get him and was left smiling/smirking.

  How was the ovation to Hamilton being announced as a pinch runner? Listening to a computer video that doesn't have the best audio in the world is definitely not the same as being there.
