Game 5 Thread: Reds vs. Phillies Part II



We're kicking Eaton's ass, but we've only got two runs to show for it. Still, it's 2-1 and Harang is through five with only 68 pitches. We're in good shape.

Game threads are impossible for me. I look in once in awhile, but there's just no way I can follow along now that we've switched over. It takes several minutes to load. Which is crazy.

Playing "Little Ball"?

This is the third straight game

that the reds have faced a pitcher who isn't locating and given him a quality starter. I think we should be a little concerned about this.

hatteberg would be, but he claims to be unable to ever catch again

valentin's expected back by the middle of next week, and it shouldnt be long before ross is back. until then, ryan hanigan is our organizational depth at C.

Right

I was just wondering if we'd made a roster move, but it sounds like they haven't stuck Javy on the DL.

Sorry, I'm catching up on things.

Big day for Bako

Three hits including the game-winner, and a runner caught stealing. Star of the game.

seabass ground ball. harang went seven innings, three hits allowed, no runs, 10 Ks, but was outdueled by sabathia and got a no-decision.

Indeed I was (perhaps I mentioned it?)

But I sure as shit couldn't tell you that Moeller won the game. He might have gotten the winning run, but I would remember Hamilton, Harang, the bullpen, and Sea Bass ahead of Moeller. I give Bako the edge in terms of "How did you help us win one specific game."

Oh, and boobs, I don't think it's fair to say Harang was outdueled by Sabathia. They went toe to toe in a pitching matchup of titans. I think Sabathia did pitch more innings, but Harang was facing the tougher lineup, and neither finished the game.

What a throw...

by Brendanukkah on Apr 5, 2008 4:01 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

fair enough

i was going off the fact that sabathia had a higher game score (due to going a full nine innings) but obviously neither gave up a run. it looks like harang had lots of timely strikeouts. i do remember the game vaguely, but in a 162-game season it's hard to remember games you watched on tv.

what was the atmosphere like?

by Blue on Apr 5, 2008 3:43 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I like having a closer

and a bullpen that only gives up one run in the 8th.

keep this on your radar

all three wins by 1 run.

Because

Our pitching has been really good so far (Josh Fogg excepted) and our offense has been pants.

Hmmm

I am still disapointed ... the Reds continue to clog the base paths with walks. How are we suppose to win games like that? (insert sarcastic smile here)
