Is Votto available to pinch hit?

Here come curve balls in the dirt. Will Stubbs swing?

Swing the bat...

Could Ramon be any slower?

Exactly what I thought.

Yes.

Tricked me. Fastballs all the way.

Geeze, does Stubbs not remember what happens when he swings at fastballs right down the middle?

A lot. I didn't subcribe to MLB Extra Innings to watch the Reds.

 

I figured most SD games would be too late for you.

Nope. I watch a ton of west coast games.

Hanigan, Pitcher's spot, Phillips due up in the 9th for the Reds.

 

I'd send Chapman back out for the 9th.

Yeah, that's what he said. We both thought Chapman would start the 7th, but he did not...

 

I know. I'm saying when the 6th was over, I assumed Dusty would bring in Chapman. Not leave in LO, followed by Rhodes and Masset. When Rhodes comes in with one out in an inning with nobody on base more often than not he'll get the job done.

 

I get what you meant but I thought you were an inning behind with the way you said it.

If Dusty is smart in the 9th he'll pinch hit Yonder for Hanigan, then Votto in the pitchers spot. Assuming Votto can pinch hit.

 

If not he'll let Hanigan hit and save Alonso for the pitchers spot.

Hanigan, Pitcher's spot, Phillips due up in the 9th for the Reds.

 

I'd send Chapman back out for the 9th.

 

 

You want Chapman to hit for himself?

That ball is crushed, and doesn't even make it to the wall.

I thought Ludwick crushed that one.

You want Chapman to hit for himself?

 

Obviously I meant the 8th.
