Around SBN: Devils Beat Rangers, Head To Stanley Cup Finals

Like a Jetsons production of "Ol' Yeller," Reds put down Astro. Reds win, 10-4.


Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game

Homer Bailey.  Our starting pitching got just the jolt it needed with the return of Bailey to the lineup.  Homer threw six innings, allowing only one run and one walk.  He struck out seven and gave up just four hits.  Honorable mentions go to Jay Bruce, Ryan Hanigan, and Fred Lewis.

Key Plays

  • In the second inning, Jay Bruce singled with one out, and Jonny Gomes walked.  Ryan Hanigan lined a single to right and Bruce came around to score.  Gomes went to third, and Dusty decided to bring him in with a suicide squeeze.  However, the pitch from Brett Myers was far outside and there was nothing Paul Janish could do but dive at it.  Gomes was tagged out at the plate.  Reds lead, 1-0.
  • In the fourth inning, Joey Votto kept his base-reaching streak alive by hitting a single.  One out later, Jay Bruce doubled and there were runners on second and third.  Despite his batting average, Brett Myers decided to intentionally walk Jonny Gomes, but Ryan Hanigan made him rue that decision with a single to left.  Votto and Bruce scored.  Reds lead, 3-0.
  • Chris Heisey, filling in for Drew Stubbs, showed he could be a leadoff hitter too in the fifth inning.  He dropped a bunt, then stole second base, then came around to score on Edgar Renteria's single.  Reds lead, 4-0.
  • In the sixth inning, the Astros were finally able to get to Homer Bailey.  With one out, Jason Bourgeois singled, then stole second base like it had been produced from the sweat and labor of the proletariat.  Hunter Pence then hit a double and the Astros were on the board.  Reds lead, 4-1.
  • The Reds answered in the bottom of the inning.  Jonny Gomes showed there's more to him than just walks and pop flies by hitting a double.  He tagged and went to third on Ryan Hanigan's fly ball to the outfield.  Paul Janish hit a fly ball to center, too, and Gomes tagged and scored on that one.  Then Fred Lewis pinch hit for Homer Bailey and got his fist hit as a Red - a home run.  Enerio Del Rosario and got Chris Heisey to ground out to Matt "The Syndrome" Downs.  Reds lead, 6-1.
  • If Homer Bailey brought some stability to the rotation, the bullpen seemed pretty shaky.  Logan Ondrusek started the seventh by striking out Bill Hall, who was then thrown out of the game.  But Clint Barmes singled, and one out later, Matt "The Syndrome" Downs singled.  With two outs and runners on first and second, Dusty turned to Aroldis Chapman.  The Cinco de Mayo enthusiast was wild, walking Michael Bourn and Jason Bourgeois, scoring Barmes.  Then Hunter Pence singled, scoring Bourn and Downs.  Bill Bray replaced Chapman, and allowed a double steal, but Paul Janish made a nifty play on Brett Wallace's grounder to third to end the inning.  Reds lead, 6-4.
  • Jay Bruce homered off of Nelson Figueroa to start the eighth inning.  One out later, Ryan Hanigan and Paul Janish both singled, and pinch hitter Drew Stubbs hit a double, scoring Hanigan.  Chris Heisey hit a sacrifice fly, allowing Janish to tag and score, and Edgar Renteria singled to bring in Stubbs.  Reds win, 10-4.

Other Notes

  • Fred Lewis joined Jeremy Hermida as players whose first hit as a Red this year was a home run.
  • This was only the second time Brett Myers had not thrown six innings in a start for Houston.  The Reds also chased him after 5 2/3 innings last Sept. 30.
  • The Reds won consecutive games for the first time since Apr. 11 and 12 against San Diego.

Rec'd for the references. Especially the title.

Gomes’ walk wasn’t really intentional. Myers was pitching to him but missed 3 straight times, so decided to just put him on with a 3-0 count. Still, Gomer had a good day. The whole offense had a good day.

Makes me feel better about this weekend’s series. Especially tomorrow. I’m going to watch the game with a colleague Cubs fan who thinks Blake DeWitt is a really good 2B. I really want a Volquez gem and a win.

Also, with apologies to Hawkeye,

Homer looked as good as I’ve ever seen him, and probably better than any of our starters have looked all season.

He was locating, mixing speeds, throwing gas when he needed, getting ahead of hitters.
I know the Astros lineup sucks, but pitching like that will be successful against anyone. I hope he keeps it up.

It’s the best I’ve ever seen him. But he always shines against the dregs of the division. I’m not ready to be a believer, but I’m excited for his next start. And to get Cueto back.

DTFH91 gets the point today ...

I’m very happy with the number of people starting to participate now … i’ve thought about changing it a bit starting monday and would like some discussion …

right now you get 2pts for a correct score or 1 pt for getting the closest total score if nobody gets the two …

what about 2 pts for a correct guess and if nobody gets that then 1 pts for the closest total score and 1 pt for correctly guessing the reds score … this would allow more people to get points for the day assuming nobody nails the score on the head. i could also give out a point for guessing the opponents score as well …

so keep it the way it is, change it to this, or any other suggestions?

Sonoran hotdogs at Goodyear.

TUCSON, Ariz. — It sounds like the sort of thing frat boys would dare each other to eat — a hot dog wrapped in bacon, stuffed in a puffy roll, then smothered in pinto beans, onions, tomatoes, mustard, jalapeno sauce, cheese, maybe a few crumbled potato chips sprinkled on top.

But taste a Sonoran hot dog — a specialty dog of the Southwest — and the peculiarity washes away, the odd swirl of colors and flavors forming a fusion of flavor that somehow works. And it becomes clear why people — not just frat kids — will drive across town during rush hour to get one. Or two.

I would've expected you to suggest he watch porn

more than a couple of games

He was pulled from the game after a couple of innings on April 30, and hasn’t played since. So that’s four games he’s missed so far.

They won’t say what’s wrong with him, other than to say he’s injured and it’s not serious.

The weird thing is that he was in tonight’s lineup, as posted at the Bats blog. But he didn’t play. So he must have been a late scratch.

I really wish the Jetsons were in the habit of doing productions of things

Loved the outing by Bailey, clean inning by Masset etc.

And even if I whine about him playing against tougher righties, Gomes plat discipline has undoubtedly improved.

I think Red Reporters will appreciate this site

Better Book Titles

This guy improves book titles so that they better describe the work. My personal favorite, a retitled James and the Giant Peach:

Or even if I just like such as judged a fish contest that would get me outta the house and in some air.

hah

I like this one.

I’m really tempted to send my mom the link to that site, but some of the saltier language might offend her.

Oh hell no

Tim Kurkjain just dissed Bruce. They were talking about lefty outfield arms and that there were very few. Ravach asked who else and he gives no credit to the beast. Lil punk.

I just spammed his twitter account with videos of awesome Bruce throws.

Good

It is unprofessional if him as a baseball commentator to not mention Bruce—no one runs on him!!!
