Reds Tidbits (2007 Season)

[Fungo Squiggly]

Anyone able to see the game on TV or listen on radio? Is Harang getting hit as hard as it reads on the MLB gamecast?

Seems like it. I've got the radio going, but can't pay very close attention. Haven't heard 'em all, but none of the ones I've heard have been bloopers.

Way to work it, Javy. 2 ABs. 5 pitches. 2 outs. Half of Zambrano's pitches this game have been called balls, he's already issued three BBs, and you're hacking on the second pitch?

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Zambrano first pitch hitting takes Harang out to centerfield. Hamilton loses ball in the sun putting Soriano at 2nd. Pitch gets 3 feet away from catcher and Soriano moves to 3rd.

Brantley and Marty are ripping into them right now. Can't really argue with em. Team can't be bothered to show up. They bring the infield in and the guy singles through the middle. 5-0 Cubs. Why the hell bring the infield in with no outs? Give em the run and worry about getting the hell out of the inning. This one's over. Another stolen base. 4th of the day for the cubs.

Damn. I turn off the radio and the Sucklegs pull their collective heads out of their collective asses. I'll leave it off so I don't fuck it up for the rest of you.

4 pitch walk to Hatte by the new pitcher, Ohman. Dunn scored. Harrang is off the hook. 5-5

 

[chille37]

5 pitch walk to Javy, who finally decided to look at a few. Griffey scores. 6-5 Good Guys

 

[Dryden]

5 pitch walk to Javy.

Oh-Man! comes in and issues TWO RBI walks on 9 pitches. Sweet Lou is ecstatic, I'm sure. I have GOT to watch SportsCenter when I get home at 6:00, because this has all the makings of a classic Lou moment.

 

[Mike80]

I like how this game isn't even on TV in the Dayton area....

stupid MLB...

 

[chille37]

Wuertz is now in after Ohman threw 9 pitches. 8 balls and two walks. Haha!! nice outing

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

it's not too often you'll have somebody pinch hit for a pitcher and get 2 ABs.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

What the fuck is Wuertz throwing? Sunflower seeds? Make some contact ya dopes!

I'll go on record saying the Reds will lose this game.

 

[Dryden]

Wow. Wuertz relieves Ohman with the bases loaded and still nobody out, and strikes out Castro, Moeller, and Phillips. 11 pitches, 9 swinging strikes.

 

[Dryden]

ESPN Gamecast crawler had mentioned that prior to that AB, Moeller was 2-for-2 with 2HRs of Wuertz for his career.

A helluva time to break that streak. :(
