Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Edinson Volquez AND Drew Stubbs. I could have taken the easy route and just given it to Volquez. The righty was outstanding over 6 innings, allowing only 3 hits and 2 walks while striking out 9. It was exciting to watch and be reminded of how great Volquez can be. However, for a team that's been scraping to get runs over the last week, Drew Stubbs provided a spark with 2 home runs and 3 RBI. He deserves more than an honorable mention. Honorable mentions go to Brandon Phillips and Jonny Gomes.
Key Plays
- Things didn't start off so hot for Volquez. Dexter Fowler opened the game with a double and then thankfully the Rockies decided to play for one run, sacrificing to move Fowler to third. Carlos Gonzalez drove him in with a single, but Brad Hawpe flied out and Seth Smith struck out and the Rockies got only that one run. Rockies lead, 1-0.
- Miguel Cairo walked with one out in the second and then one out later Stubbs hit a blast to left field, his twelfth home run of the season. Reds lead, 2-1.
- With one out in the third, Orlando Cabrera singled and was followed by a walk from Joey Votto. Cabrera then stole third as Votto advanced on a wild pitch. Jonny Gomes drove in Cabrera with a sacrifice fly to left. Reds lead, 3-1.
- The scoring really took off in the fourth when Drew Stubbs hit a solo home run with one out in the inning. Ryan Hanigan followed with a walk and then went to third on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Volquez that catcher Miguel Olivo threw into center field. Brandon Phillips got in on the jack attack with his 13th home run of the season. Cabrera was hit by a pitch from new pitcher Jhoulys Chacin, but then a strike 'em out throw 'em out double play ended the inning. Reds lead, 7-1.
- Bottom of the fifth, Jonny Gomes MASH! Reds lead, 8-1.
- That's where the scoring halted as Volquez and the bullpen duo of Logan Ondrusek and Jordan Smith kept the Rockies' bats quiet for the remainder of the game. Reds win, 8-1.
Other Notes
- Volquez's start was the 6th time in the last seven starts by Reds pitchers where the starter went at least 6 innings and gave up 2 or fewer runs. The only start where that didn't happen was Mike Leake's start where he had given up just 1 run over the first 8 innings. The only pitcher over the age of 27 to make one of those starts was Bronson Arroyo.
- Attendance at tonight's game was 41,300. It was the third largest crowd at Great American Ball Park this season, and the largest game not involving the Cardinals. This series has already had 2 of the 5 largest crowds at GABP this season for a total of 78,488, with the series capper coming tomorrow. Perhaps fans are starting to pay attention to this first place squad?
- The win by Edinson Volquez was his first win since May 5th of last year.
- This was the 3rd game this season where the Reds hit 4 home runs or more.
- This was Stubbs's second career multi-home run game.
- Stubbs has the most home runs in the Reds outfield and is tied with BP for the 3rd most on the team. He's also 4th on the team in RBI and first in stolen bases. He's struggled, yes, but he's still provided some production. That's more than we can say from the CF position the last couple of seasons.

Needless to say, this didn't work and everybody died.
I put this in the game thread too
but this was the first game where the Reds had 5 hits on offense but won by 7 or more runs since June 13, 1965 against the Cubs.

Yay! We won!
Thanks for the recap, Slyde. I went to see Inception instead of watching this game, and WOW. I don’t know that Leonardo DiCaprio is in the discussion of best actor of his generation, but I think Christopher Nolan has firmly planted his name in the discussion of best filmmaker of his generation. It’s like a combination of The Matrix, Ocean’s 11, Waking Life, and the Notebook, with a dash of playing “Goldeneye” thrown in for good measure. Just fantastic.
I hated two of those four movies, liked one, and loved the fourth.
Every preview I’ve seen for Inception has me completely torn on whether I’d like it or not. Now that ambiguity makes sense.
by the finest muffins on Jul 18, 2010 1:09 AM EDT up reply actions

I had the same feeling, I just didn’t know if it was something I’d want to invest my time in but I have enjoyed most of Nolan’s work.
I'm dying to know which is which. Are you gonna make me guess?

Now THAT'S a good movie.
Don’t ever see The Notebook if you can help it, or anything with the name “Nicholas Sparks” attached to it. The man is the Thomas Kinkead of novel-writing.

Have never, and will never see/read anything with "Nicholas Sparks" attached to it.
But I love the Thomas Kinkead analogy…That guy is the worst.

Honestly, I have never read anything he's written either, so I probably shouldn't judge so harshly.
But I’ve seen enough previews of Nicholas Sparks movie adaptations to know they suck!

You seem to be the bookish type. I can only imagine that reading Sparks would make you want to set your eyes on fire.

Saw it last night too. The Eternal Sunshine comp is apt, and I remember thinking near the end that this movie is what Bond movies wish they were. A friend I saw it with vowed, only half-jokingly, that he was only going to see Nolan movies from now on. And I don’t know if Titanic is still dogging him, but I can’t think of many better actors going than DiCaprio.
I haven’t enjoyed a movie that much in a long, long time. And although it was trippy, I didn’t find it convoluted or overly confusing like some critics have said. Go see it

the last wedding I went to
The groom backed out the night before. Very late the night before.
So the bride’s parents decided to renew their vows instead, since it was too late to cancel anything.
The guests were very confused, since none of them had been told.
Though they sort of figured it out, when the would-be bride broke the groom’s head off the custom centerpiece they’d had made at great trouble and expense.

he got cold feet
But I don’t really blame him. The bride was pressuring him to get married. It was clear to me that he wasn’t ready, but she talked him into it. Until he finally freaked out at 2 am the night before, and just couldn’t go through with it.
I think he was actually the more mature of the two. He was generally hardworking and responsible, with a good job and promising career, but wasn’t ready for marriage. Frankly, she wasn’t, either. She ended up marrying an unemployed vacuum cleaner salesman on the rebound, getting pregnant, and then divorcing him when the kid was still a baby.

So i wouldnt put any stock in what he’s saying, it’s not like he knows what a good baseball team looks like anyway
Don't worry
I’ve already let him know that he’s going to rue that statement.
Seriously though, I think it’s easy to fall into the trap that the Cards were better on Day 1 so they should be better still, without taking into account the fact that the Reds have had some progress from youngsters this year that they needed progress from as well as the fact that the pitching and defense was supposed to be good and only recently has started to perform as such. I think it’s pretty clear that the offense is likely to fall off some, but I think you’ll continue to see the pitching/defense overall numbers continue to improve, hopefully in a balanced or better manner with the offensive fall off.

Just wanted to say
that I had an awesome time at the game last night. tHanks, tHan!
And, there was a dude who climbed the wall in right field literally a seat away from us, and ran onto the field sometime around the 7th or 8th inning. It was quite the spectacle. I blamed the 80 year old woman he climbed over to reach the field for not stopping him. It was funny because when she asked tHan how he got the tickets, he told her, “I won them on Twitter.” She nodded and agreed, knowingly.
