Reds at Cubs (7/15 - 7/17)

[ChickenWyngz]

The Reds (42-48) 6.5 games out of first place take on the division leading Chicago Cubs in Wrigley for a 3 game series.

 

This series in itself can go a very long way toward deciding if the Reds are buyers or sellers at the deadline. Leave this series 9.5 out and you’d better sell, but leave 3.5 out and you have a decision to make.

 

Let’s go Redlegs! Get me all 3!

Hopefully the Reds keep owning the Cubs this season.

Alright, I am back in the dugout now. All this goofing off is fine when we're winning, but when we're not, somebody's going to have to start cracking the whip.

I see the sloppy baseball is continuing tonight, way too much of that happens for us to contend.

Error by Bode at 3B! Winker scores, 4-3 Reds.

 

Puig then stings a ball to Baez for the inning ending DP.

 

Need a quick inning here and to come back and tack on another.

Luckily the Cubs are playing sloppy too.

[ChickenWyngz]

Lorenzen gets out of trouble to salvage a scoreless 7th. 4-3 Reds going into the 8th.

Ervin leads off the 8th with a PH single, and moves up to second on a PB by Cubs catcher.

 

Scooter grounds to 2B to move Ervin to third.

 

Insurance run is 90 feet away with 1 out and Iglesias at the plate.

 

Let’s go Reds!
