Reds @ Padres 7/29 - 7/31

[HammerDown]

This will be a very tough series to win, especially the first two games.

O'Sullivan vs. Leake
Volquez vs. Latos

 

[HammerDown]

Unless the Padres really support Sean O'Sullivan tonight, we are ripe for a pounding.

GO REDS!!!!! Should be a good series.

I lived/worked in Lexington (right off of Tate's Creek Pike I think it was called?) back in 1995.

Have fun with this one boys, as you all know our Dodgers took two of three from the Reds by two runs total. That should mean they are in a bad way for some wins on this road trip.

You're Welcome!

I see we're going with the LH outfield set-up ... I hope Kotasy can keep up the hitting he did in his last game!

 

[HammerDown]

Relieved to see O'Sullivan survive that jam. He needs to get first-pitch strikes.

 

[HighNTight_SD]

Kotsay with a single and then Forsythe gets Petco'd ... damn the luck

 

[HighNTight_SD]

I thought O'Sullivan could hit

 

[HammerDown]

Oh man I would love William to get a hit here.

 

[HammerDown]

Leake will throw at least 57 pitches through 3. Nice!

Quentin needs to be in the lineup as much as possible. I really don't care about matchups too much at this point in the season. He's been hot lately.

They said he was a late scratch. Did he stay up late counting part of his $9.5M?

j/k I like the guy but I don't understand the night off either. Maybe just to get Kotsay some playing time?

 

[HammerDown]

Beautiful double-play.

 

[HighNTight_SD]

needed that DP as Sully walks another

 

[HammerDown]

He's wasting way too many pitches but his ERA is now a very respectable 3.63

Now if we could just generate some offense against Leake.

 

[HighNTight_SD]

68 pitches through 4 innings ... slow but steady improvement with his efficiency
