Game 95: Reds at Brewers

Cincinnati Reds @ Milwaukee Brewers

Saturday, Jul 12, 2008, 7:05 PM EDT
Miller Park

Edinson Volquez vs Seth McClung

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to left field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 80.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Edinson Volquez 11-3 2.36 1.25 116 54

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Seth McClung 5-4 4.15 1.39 57 33

You know what would be nice?  A win today so we can sit back and watch Bailey v. CC tomorrow with a series win already under our belt.  McClung's having a pretty good year so even with Volquez on the mound a win won't be easy.  But the matchup definitely favors the Reds - as long as the offense doesn't decide to sit this one out.

It was a fun game last night and I'm looking forward to another fun one tonight.  Keep thinking lucky, bitches!

I like how the Brewers burned almost 2 innings of Torres last night!

He won’t be much tonight (or perhaps tomorrow)!

Hopefully

Volqswagon can get his ERA down to a respectable 2.20 tonight!

wow

big day for me. along with tony snow, Bobby Murcer died.

What do you mean, "blank slate"?

Rest in peace, Bobby

YES is having wall-to-wall coverage, including interviews with Yankees staff and players. Girardi was nearly in tears.

I never saw Bobby play, but he was one of my favorite announcers. Not least because he was a big fan of Bubba Crosby. He wanted Bubba to be the Yankees’ CFer. Even after Bubba was DFA’d and Damon had a great first season with the Yankees, Murcer said on the air that he wanted Bubba, not Damon.

He's not that bad this year

But career-wise, it’s downright Freel-like.

And maybe it’s just sample size, but it seems like he gets picked off a lot, too.

He's on the DL currently

what can brook jacoby teach me?

how to swing at every pitch no matter how bad? because aggressiveness wins ballgames

by johnny cueto thinks we're sellouts on Jul 12, 2008 6:46 PM EDT   0 recs

Dusty attributed Dunn's home runs tonight to "being aggressive"

And also because he sat him yesterday. In other news, I kind of hate Dusty.

God

Why did we waste our three run HR so early, because Dusty acts like we can only hit one or none per game, now we’ll be stuck with small ball!
