Track The Reds (Week 15)

[Clyde]

Only valid reason is because he earned it. Outside of that, I'm with you...

 

He earned it. I applaud him and he gets his mug on national TV. I hope he then gets lost on the bench. Too important to the future of this team to have our team pride get in the way of our good judgment.

 

I bet more people watch the lineups being announced than stick with the game.

[HammerTime]

They won't let him pitch more than 2 innings maybe just 1.

[The Scribe]

Eric Milton has signed a minor league deal with the Yanks and should be ready to go in six weeks.

Poor homer. :lol: He says he is throwing as well as he ever has guess we will see.

[Da champ]

Patterson gets a hit last night and he is rewarded with a start ??? :mad:

[HammerTime]

Patterson is 2-for-5 vs. Sabathia. "I figured if we win it would be a low-scoring game," Baker said. "I want that good defense in there."

Wow, don't understand this lineup. Chance to end the series picking up 3 games on a team in front of you, you have the all-star break afterwards and Jr., Bruce and Votto go to the bench.

 

Lose this game and after picking up the first two games, only gaining 1 game on the Brewers does not seem like such a great feat.

[Da champ]

When did he go 2 for 5? Sabathia's rookie year ?

I agree with getting as many righties as you can against CC. If Votto, Bruce, and Griffey were in the lineup the Reds would have little chance.

[HammerTime]

I can see sitting Bruce and possibly Griff but not Votto.

Yep, if there is a lefty with hope against CC it is Votto.

[ColonelCrazy]

Jay Bruce is 0-3 with 2 K's.

 

Adam Dunn is 4-20 with 2 doubles & 7 K's against Sabathia. He did take him to the wall last time in Cleveland though.

 

Edwin Encarnacion is 0-3 with a K.

 

Ken Griffey Jr. is 4-16 with a double and 3 RBI. He's also struck out 5 times.

 

Hairston Jr. is 7-23 with 2 doubles.

 

Hatteberg has had some decent success against CC. He's 8-21 with 5 RBI and has drawn 4 walks.

 

Keppinger is 1-3.

 

Corey Patterson is 2-5 against CC, with a double and 2 K's.

 

B-Phil is 3-10 against CC, with a K.

 

David Ross is 2-7 with 2 HR (both solo shots), 2 BB & 2 K's.

 

Javy Valentin is 0-2, and Joey Votto is 0-3 with a K.

 

Barry Larkin was 0-3 against CC.

[LCPATS]

Well, this line-up doesn't give much hope for a sweep.???

[ColonelCrazy]

Well, this line-up doesn't give much hope for a sweep.???

 

CC Sabathia doesn't give much hope for a sweep.

 

I think we'll be okay. If we can get a solid performance from Homer and get Sabathia out relatively early, I like our chances. The Reds have been playing good baseball recently.

[HammerTime]

You guys have to remember C.C. has lost more games than he has won so far this year. He has been as up and down as anyone. To write this off as an L already is crazy.
