Game Thread: Game 23 vs the Pirates

H_tiny by JD Arney on in News

TIME: 7:10 @ PNC Park

                                             

PIRATES PROBABLE:                      REDS PROBABLE:
Ian Snell (1-1, 2.00)                         Eric Milton (0-3, 4.32)

Eric Milton pitching. Offense going against a guy who's looked outstanding so far this season. Really tough to be optimistic looking at this one, but then again I really thought the Reds would manage two out of three against the Cardinals with a Bronson Arroyo vs. Randy Keisler matchup in game three. So you never know I guess.

Go Reds!

Rotoworld is hilarious sometimes
Here's their comment on Dunn batting sixth:

Dunn is one of three major leaguers to hit 40 homers each of the last three years, he's the only player in Cincinnati's lineup tonight with even one 25-homer campaign to his credit and he's batting .283/.400/.565 against right-handers this season. Still -- and it's definitely time for everyone to face it -- he is no Alex Gonzalez.

They sort of do
Lineups only matter in that they distribute at bats unevenly. I like Dunn batting 2nd because it will get him a lot more plate appearances over the course of a season. But yeah, for this one game, it's not really a big deal. Maybe this will help him out of his slump.

How is
the Pirates' bullpen these days?

by Gray on Apr 27, 2007 8:45 PM EDT reply actions  

Not too shabby of late
9, or almost 9 scoreless the other night in a 16 inning win. 9 consecutive scoreless innings. Imagine that.
Wanted: A reliever for three quick outs in the 8th inning.

I'm talkin' about the bullpen.
I'd love to see 9 consecutive scoreless innings from the 'pen.

Ross's triple play, that double play.  Yikes.

did you guys see that?
they briefly showed Coffey in the pen and he was eating a cheeseburger

Well.....

He's gettin' there.
Let's just hope he gets the chance to keep playing until he does get there.

Ken Griffey
really looks bad. Give him credit for being out there. But a 15 day dl might be in his best interest

by Caleb on Apr 27, 2007 9:03 PM EDT reply actions  

wait
seriously? Did Narron just put Lohse in as a pinch runner?

by Gray on Apr 27, 2007 9:04 PM EDT reply actions  

Makes sense
You don't want to burn a position player so early in the game.

by teb7 on Apr 27, 2007 9:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

Does Jr.
look bad enough that he needs a runner?

by Gray on Apr 27, 2007 9:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

I dunno
Didn't really get to see him run. If he's having trouble breathing, it doesn't surprise me that they'd run for him.

by teb7 on Apr 27, 2007 9:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

He's used Milton before.
Notably after Milty came back from knee surgery, but yeah, this is normal.

Nice sliding play by Sea Bass, and almost a miraculous turn by BP.

BP
this is really turning into a pretty impressive Double Play Combo. Certainly a step in the right direction

If only
we could actually string together a few hits...

by Gray on Apr 27, 2007 9:20 PM EDT reply actions  

quick catch up
*what as Reds hit 10 homers in PIT was the Aflac.

*Radisson is the cylindrical hotel in Covington, has a revolving restaurant on top. Call hotel direct tell staff its "anniversary", and Caleb didn't think hed get to make plans this year. They'll hook u up. Nice Suites.

*c'than-I got an excellent recruiting client. High end jobs.
They own the company. Fyi.

How's the game?

looking California, and feeling Minnesota...

I think he has it in him tonight to get one of these:

Dunn almost made a great play on that one.

by teb7 on Apr 27, 2007 9:25 PM EDT reply actions  

I can live
with him not catching that as long as he gives a solid effort. And he did.

homers.
Back-to-back-to-back homers. Well, one out of three ain't bad. Too bad we were down more than one.

Boy oh Boy, last year before the trade if you told me a Milton start would be 3 runs or less, I would of said the Reds win 70% of those, now they lose games with a gooseegg on their side of scoreboard.
