June 17, 20215 yr This is where the rubber hits the road. If the Reds can grind through this series on the west coast with a 2-2 split, I will consider it good news. If they manage 3 wins, Reds mania hits the tri-state. Miley vs. Musgrove today to get it started. I give the Padres the advantage in every pitching matchup in the 4 game series.

June 18, 20215 yr Author Wow! Reds smoke the best closer in the NL! Votto lead off single. Suarez good at bat but strikes out swinging on a full count. Barnhart battles back from 0-2 count to get a full count double. Farmer ground ball up the middle makes it 2-1. Stephenson pinch huts, falls behind 0-2, battles to full count and delivers a two out game tieing single. India hits the next pitch out of the balk park. Reds lead 4-2.
June 18, 20215 yr Author Welp. All for naught. Hendrix walks the first batter on 4 pitches. Then gives up a 2 run HR to Hosmer. Tie game. There is nothing that irritates me more than pitcher who is afraid to throw strikes. I would rather that leadoff guy in the 9th hit a HR than a walk. At least they earn it that way.
June 18, 20215 yr Just do not understand AT ALL letting Machado steal 2nd??!!! Took all the pressure of a double play off of Hosmer, bad managing right there in my opinion.

June 18, 20215 yr Author There is your veteran reliever. Garrett comes in. Single. HR on an 0-2 count. Reds lose 6-4.

June 18, 20215 yr Just now, Voice of Reason said: Sims not available tonight. Was that posted somewhere that I did not see? I would have gone with Garrett to start the inning and took my chances rather than putting a rookie out there looking for first save against a top notch squad.
