Cardinals @ Reds (8/2 - 8/4)

[littleluck55]

Why couldn't I find the game on TV tonight?

 

FS1 instead of FoxSports Ohio

[HammerTime]

Votto now leads all NL hitters in OBP. Average nearly up to .300.

[UKMustangFan]

Votto in August: 1.000/1.000/1.250

 

Is that good?

Nice win for the Redlegs last night. Surprised Duvall's shot only went 388 ft. Certainly looked like a deeper shot than that from where I was.

How far did they say Schebler's went? Given the big bounce on the concourse, could have easily made it into the Ohio. Yikes was he sitting on that fastball or what?

[UKMustangFan]

Distance I saw was 416 ft.....Sure seemed longer than that, although RF is such a short porch.

[jpa2825]

Roller coaster.

 

Ohlendorf gives up MLB leading and franchise record 21st HR to the 1st batter faced by a reliever to go down 3-2

 

Duvall drives in Votto to take lead back at 4-3

 

Wood plays "add on" to the records by giving up #22 to start the next inning. (Agree -- where was Iglesias?). Then gives up a VERY loud out to the warning track in dead CF. Then gives up another HR to give STL the lead.

 

Reds load the bases off of Broxton wildness and Fat Boy Adams' inability to field a bunt. K for Hamilton (2nd K in 3 innings with the bases loaded) and a DP by DeJesus to fail to score with bases loaded and 0 out. Yikes. (Also, why not consider bunting Hamilton in that situation? Put some pressure on the defense.)

 

Jumbo, remarkably, works a clean 9th.

 

Oh gives up 2 very hard hit balls to Votto-matic and DuvAllStar and then gets behind 2-1 to Schebler who lights up the night sitting on a fastball up & in.

 

Cardinals just more incompetent than the Reds on this night.

^Part of me thinks he was holding Iglesias for tonight. With Reed going, and the crap shoot that his starts have been thus far, I think he wanted his #1 guy available to go multiple innings tonight.

 

Would've liked to see Lorenzen though.

With the Monday off day he had too many better options than Ohlendorf and Wood imo but hey what will that get me. The Reds have had so much trouble beating the Cards why not go all out to win the 1st game of the series?

Someone has to tank these games to get a top 3 pick.

[plantmanky]

No reason for Reed to be on this roster, send him down.

[sumoroyal]

Reed definetly has trouble in the first inning.

[sumoroyal]

Phillips finally gets a hit and stands over there with his head up his hat and gets picked off. Why do we have to play him?

[ColonelCrazy]

How many innings has Lorenzen logged this year?
