The Reds will try to knock off the first place Fish in tonight’s opening game of a four-game tilt with the Marlins. Yes, the Marlins are in first place. That is hard to believe. About as hard to believe as Aaron Harang’s 1-5 record this season, despite a 3.09 earned run average. Let’s hope the Reds can get Aaron some run support tonight and pick up a win!
Discuss it here…
Patterson leading off again. I wonder what Dusty’ll do when CPat’s OBP drops below .200, it’s only a matter of time.
Patterson leading off again? Why is this so hard for Dusty to understand?
Ha! Mr. Redlegs has a neck brace on today after last weeks fall.
Back to back for the bad guys, not a good start!
Toughest inning in the game; the first. Playing catch-up ball again.
With a 2-0 deficit, it would be nice to have a leadoff hitter who can reach base.
Better 2′nd inning for Harang
Man the top of the Reds line up really knows how to get things going…Dusty please don’t change a thing.
What has everyone heard about the mariner’s scouting griffey and aggressively looking to bring him back? I just heard a quick radio report of it this afternoon up here on Boston’s WEEI.
Corey’s back over .200
When Bruce comes up who will be leaving?
Time for a big inning. I think Patterson gets released when Bruce comes up.
Patterson must have heard that Jay Bruce is getting ready to claim his job.
Marlins defense really does stink.
Make’m pay, Brandon!
Hey, is anyone able to watch this game on MLB.tv? I have a subscription but I’m not getting it. Same thing happened yesterday. It says “connecting to media” and then “attempting to reconnect” and then it gives up and just says “ready.”
The weird thing is, I can watch other games… just watched a little bit of the Toronto game (just as a test).
Anyone?
I know that Patterson is having a decent game tonight, but is there another leadoff better in the majors who is even close to as bad as he is?
Oh, well – we’re back in the game, at least!
I cannot imagine a worse lead-off hitter than Patterson. David Ross would be a better option than CP.
This Joe – Eddie combo is really developing.
Thommy Boy advocating ground ball outs to get in the runners. I’m sure it is meant as smack toward Dunn.
I’m watching MLB.tv, Dan. No problems.
Please be clutch, Dunn.
OK, Marty and Thommy. Did Dunn do his job?
Sac fly on ball 4 for Dunn. That should get him some good press.
And great baserunning by Eddie.
Cowboy thinks so. He is calling it Dunn’s best at bat of the year.
Bako’s flaws are showing.
Crap. Bako can’t come thru.
Good to see them let Harang bat.
Did the reds just see some luck?
It would be great for Harang to help his own cause.
and it pays dividends!!!
But a wild pitch gets it done!
That’ll work!
WP and the Reds lead!
Give us at two more great innings, AH.
Free runs! Get’m while thier hot!!
Celtics – Cavs off to a titanic struggle. Cavs lead by 1 early in the 2nd quarter. Lebron still heaving bricks. Garnett playing like a man on a mission.
Now a leadoff 2B for FLA.
Boston Redleg – Hal broke the story in the Dayton Daily News.
I think it’s a good fit. It would be nice if they could get MLB ready quality talent in return. Such as Balentien or Clement.
Pure speculation, but it could be a package deal with Affeldt or Weathers.
On ESPN, Steve Phillips has been saying the Yankees should trade Philip Hughes for Affeldt and Burton. I wish!!!
4 point lead for Cavs now.
That column by Steve Phillips has caught hell from a lot of people as being “out there” even for him. Several peopla have said now they understand why he was fired in NY.
Kepp with a 2 run homer!!! Love this guy!
Good thing Kepp didn’t bunt!
Sweet. Keppinger gets his feel back with all the singles over the past few days, now comes the power.
Jeff Keppinger for Mayor! Woot!
Oh crap, Stormy Weathers is up in the pen.
The thing is would Griffey agree to go back to Seattle? They’re worse than the Reds and Junior has said he wants a WS ring.
What a blast!!!
He was all over that ball.
Man, Phillips killed that one!!!! Almost a Weathers-proof lead now!
BP for Assistant Mayor!
BP for President. Could he be any worse than the other choices?
The Reds are finally hitting?!
He would make a good VP with Obama
Imagine how good they could be without the out-clogging machine Patterson.
Any more interest from the Rockies in Fogg?
Seattle isn’t that bad of a team, once they get Putz closing again and if they get a little offense. They’ll be fine. LF DH and 1B are their weaknesses on offense, which are probably the easiest positions in baseball to fill.
Two pitches, one hit against Weathers. I can’t stand this guy.
Weather has a penchant for baserunners no doubt, but on a lot of occasions he seems to find a way to wriggle out of it
Baker isnt putting up with Weathers’ crap. He’s out of the game.
True, but on a lot of occasions, he can’t. I’m tired of his act.
Get Coco in the game!!!!!
Oh, me too … funny thing is, this time last year, he was the only guy I wanted out there late in games. Cordero just changes everything now
Geez, we are going to go through the whole pen in one inning at this rate
Wow, just got a look at that Phillips homer on game day … what a blast!
HBP. Bases loaded. Not good.
Oh no, Junior.
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!
Brantley jinxed us!!!!!!
Did that really just fuckin happen?
What happened? I dont have TV
Just joining the game now…looks like I got here a little late for the good guys…
Griffey dropped an easy fly ball…and almost dropped another one right there, but pulled it in for out three!!!
Egads Jr with an error? How bad was it?
Jesus Junior is brutal these days in the field. Don’t forget the ball he played into a triple yesterday.
What’s wrong with Junior?!
Griffey almost dropped it again. TIME FOR A DEFENSIVE SUBSITUTE!!!!!
It was bad, Ron. Easy fly, right in his glove and popped out.
It doesn’t get worse
Ron-Worse than you can imagine. You will see it a million times on SportsCenter tonight.
Griffey was standing straight up and ball squirted out of the bottom of him glove.
Them he played hot potato to catch teh other one.
I guess thats Jrs way of saying “I dont want to be traded … so stop show casing me”
Did Baker pull a double switch when he pulled Weathers????
Is Cordero going to have to bat????
Or maybe it’s his way of saying “I’m ready to be a DH”
Unreal .. they just showed it on game day … too bad I wont get to see the juggling act
Little behind on my DVR, but those two fly balls were easy. One was a can of corn. Sheesh, we can’t make anything look easy.
Damn!! They showed the juggling act too WTF is up with him?
This is why Cordero gets paid the big bucks. SHUT IT DOWN!!!
Bottom of the 9th, one out. This is why we signed Coco Cordero!
Screw 600 … give me someone who can catch a fly ball
I meant to say bottom of 9th, one run lead.
Quick K. That’s the Coco I love!
2 out.
1 more COCO
Does anyone cringe when you say: Patterson has 4 hits on the night?
Former Red Cantu at the plate now.
Advice to DirecTV: Never use Cantu as a spokesman for your HD service.. YIKES!
GREAT ninth inning COCO!!!!!!
Nice win for the good guys!
AT1BTTR!
I like the way Dusty didn’t mess around with the 8th.
If someone would have told me today that Patterson would go 4-5 hitting leadoff, I would’ve called them a fucking liar.
Yeah, Cantu is pretty scary in HD.
On a good note, Harang finally gets a win … sad that its taken until the 2nd week of May to get it.
I probably would have taken the “under” on Patterson getting 4 hits for the series… Good for him today (bad for Bruce?)
Oh no…Patterson went 4/5. Looks like he bought himself at least another month at leadoff…
