This is typical Volquez, but
Hats off to the Indians. They are really good at working counts.

Well, they saw some pitches
Lee’s up to 52 pitches through three. We could be seeing both bullpens pretty early today.
You got no confidence in Foggybottom boys - Stormy, Braaaay and the rest?

don't forget Aloiysius
he can only sign Xs.
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
At least he's not wasting pitches when he's walking guys...
One pitch walk to Francisco.

Francisco
needs to see that pitch a little quicker. If any one ever really does throw at him he’ll get killed
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
Or a DP, turned by Janish.
That was sweeeet.

And he looks like Lisa Simpson

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Why even pitch to him
Walk him and get to Lee.
Better yet, plunk him and get to Lee.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I was really hoping they'd get Blake out (they started out with a 1-2 count)
and then Lee leads off the next inning.

that fucking sucks
shoulda thrown out cabrera, shoulda gotten the K, fuck
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
that should have been an error on Ross
he actually lets go of the ball as he was starting to throw, grabs it and fires late to second.
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
Is that German or Yiddish?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Voltron is
to be sure. Showing a lot of displeasure with this umpire on “no calls”. We just need to make Lee work more. Hopefully Dunn or someone can light him up
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
I've been a pretty staunch Ross supporter
But I’m getting won over by Bako. The biggest thing in Ross’s favor was his defense, but his double clutch is pretty much responsible for the Indians’ run.

so, red reporter is ahead of mlb.tv
which makes it fun to watch lee’s reaction

I thought 7 was yesterday?
Isn’t this 8?
by Brendanukkah on May 18, 2008 2:40 PM EDT up reply actions
team record for consecutive hr games is 5
by Griffey jr in 2003
Johnny Bench in 1972
George Crowe in 1957
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
made up stat
the reds are 89-0 this season when Dunn hits a home run. The are 0-189 this season when he clogs the bases with a walk.
If you're not having fun, stop participating.
Don't worry Dusty won't leave a young guy in there too long

Shit I am at work - i leave to sell something and donkey homers.
It is no wonder that Eardi and most Reds fans want him traded.

Nice finish!
Strong!
We need runs in the bottom half though, because David Ben-Francisco starts things off against a Volkswagen with 90 pitches on its odometer.
Not gonna get more ABs pulling that crap.

Fine with me
I feel like a bigger deal needs to be made of the fact that we’re carrying three catchers on the roster again.
by Brendanukkah on May 18, 2008 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions
Who else we gonna put up here
to sit around? Unless Bruce starts he should stay down in AAA.
by buckeye22fox on May 18, 2008 2:58 PM EDT up reply actions
Big time
You can make the case that Hatteberg is too. Either Hatteberg backs up first, or have Valentin as the backup, but for god’s sake dont have both.
by Brendanukkah on May 18, 2008 2:59 PM EDT up reply actions
well....
Valentin is pretty much a straight up PH at this point. Reminds me of a Lenny Harris circa age 36+. Although LLM can be considered a 3rd string C and 3rd string 1B.
is that in reference to a japanese sex act?
In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me the choice is easy.

That'd be great
I’ll settle for a single.

If we keep this up
we might see Yaj Bruce within the next couple months

empty
Its an empty stat until you play the Reds offensive juggernaut. Lee’s ERA really was a mirage. Then again Volquez doesnt have to face the Reds either…
DONKEY!
Couldn't stand up to the offense
of the Mickey Mouse League.

Kinda hard to believe they haven't thrown at him yet
Maybe the umpires warned them beforehand?
by Brendanukkah on May 18, 2008 3:03 PM EDT up reply actions
Jon Kruk comes to Reds games?
anyone else see who caught that foul?
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
Lee's is still lower, at the moment
1.07 to 1.18

Pretty sure Dusty will
A quick inning would be sweet. I think this should be his last, though, and Dusty should have someone up in the pen in case he gets into trouble.

getting through this inning quick
and then V faces the bottom of the order next inning

Ben Francisco is good...

There goes the streak

Phew
Great game, Volquez. Let’s let the bullpen take us the rest of the way.
by Brendanukkah on May 18, 2008 3:17 PM EDT up reply actions
Ah, good optimistic thinking
The one thing about this game is that we have some decent options on our bench.

Lets see if Dunn is hitting and Votto is hitting and BP is hitting
Then it only makes sense to sit Jr. and BRING UP BRUCE – BUB

If Edwin gets an accidental homer here

I'm curious
Who was watching Hollywood while Dunn and Phillips were showboating with Viper?

he didn't argue
and these guys are such big cry babies you know Wedgie would have been out to complain

that is curious
I’m watching on MLB.tv, but to me he seemed pretty clearly in there, even though the throw beat him by a mile.
