Dodgers @ Reds Game 2

  • Rotinaj
    Leake Vs Beckett. Vottos back, Reds win 10-1.
  • Rotinaj
    Bruce down to .208 and on pace for like 50 RBI. I don't get why he is so bad this year. I truly thought he was going to have an incredible season.
  • wildcats20
    Hamilton CF
    Frazier 3B
    Votto 1B
    Phillips 2B
    Bruce RF
    Mesoraco C
    Schumaker LF
    Cozart SS
    Leake RHP


    Best lineup possible, just not positive on the batting order.

    I'm not convinced Skip is ever part of the best lineup possible. I'll assume Skip has better numbers off of Beckett than Ludwick...if not it's fucking stupid.

    Then who replaces him?

    No one...none of them are very good but damnit Ludwick was 2/4 with a HR yesterday. Skip gets too many starts on this team.
  • Ironman92
    Cozart has the 4th lowest OPS of all starters in baseball, luckily Skip's is even lower making the bottom of the order murderer's row.

    Any idea when this one will start?
  • wildcats20
    Meeting again at 8:15
  • wildcats20
    Hoping for 9:15 start time.

    So much for getting the baseball game over to concentrate on the 4th qtr of the basketball game!
  • mhs95_06
    Gold glove play by Leake for the first out!

    I agree. If Skip starts, you have one of the worst LF's in baseball. If Ludwick starts, it's the same. If Heisey starts, it's the same. Too bad their making about 11M combined...

    It baffles me how Jocketty didn't go get a LF in the offseason...especially with Castellini showing he's willing to spend.

    Can the Reds even see Beckett? They are swinging wildly. Bruce swings at one near his ankles and then swung at one above his shoulders...Meso wailing away. Leake seems to have no confidence ( or he just knows he doesn't have his good stuff)....but this might already by over.
  • Azubuike24
    Beckett working on the perfect game.

    Heck, I think Leake looks pretty good. The Reds could win this if they can get 3 or 4 runs.

    Lol...love our role reversals. Anyways....he's very very hesitant pitching to Hanley, Adrian, Kemp, Ethier.
  • Ironman92
    WTF is Frazier doing??? Puig gonna bunt?
  • Ironman92
    That's a run
  • Azubuike24
    Yeah, I normally bash Leake, but not because he's awful. He's just very rarely capable of going toe to toe with a top starter or against a top offense. That makes it very tough when your offense averages about 1-2 runs a game.

    I guess this is their A team.....Cingrani faced the B squad
  • Azubuike24
    I dunno. Kemp looks like Garbage. Freaking Van Slyke looked like Kemp circa 2011 last night.

    Wish you'd waited until his AB was over

    Man, Leake and Meso can't get it working. Terrible pace.
