Reds @ Padres 7/29 - 7/31

[HighNTight_SD]

scoreless through 4 innings as both pitchers are at 70 pitches +/- 2​

 

[HammerDown]

Damn, Robinson was standing at third about the time I thought he'd be rounding second.

 

[HammerDown]

Why didn't Yonder step on first????????

 

[HammerDown]

An inning-ending DP would be fabulous right now. O'Sullivan looks like he needs some Gatorade.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

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?

Not a lot of bats on the market. Who would Carlos waive his no trade to got to?

Did you hear the rumors about the Orioles wanting him? Maybe they're in serious talks.

I will be happy to see O'Sullivan give us five innings with 1 ER.

 

[HighNTight_SD]

To both fan bases ... how is this still a 1-0 game?

Like Sweendog said, it feels like the Padres should be down 8-2.

Kelly Crull is looking especially gorgeous in yellow tonight.

 

[HighNTight_SD]

Top of the order again for the Padres

Yeah I heard about the Orioles being interested, but they really don't have much in their system. Who are they going to give up Gausman? I doubt they do it with Bundy done for the year.

You guys get the feeling we're going to have to hit HRs to win this game tonight?

Maybe the "tweaked knee" excuse is legit for the late scratch?

Baltimore can't be the only team looking for a bat. Texas & Pittsburgh could use him.

The Pirates seem to be intent on keeping their system stacked but yeah, he'd be a nice upgrade for them. Something tells me this knee tweak is legit though. Can you imagine Carlos Quentin (a local boy) being willing to waive the no-trade clause to go to Pittsburgh? I can't.

 

[HighNTight_SD]

another decent performance by gO'Sullivan with no run support -- at least his ERA is improving

Yeah, I think he just bought himself a couple of more starts. Damn shame we couldn't score some runs for him.

 

[HammerDown]

Kotsay may have just saved us a run right there.

after the battles he has waged from the mound in each of his starts it is sad we can't get him at least 1 win

Yeah, he comes off the mound looking like he needs an overnight IV drip.

Two runs can win this game for us.

 

[HighNTight_SD]

two runs will be asking a lot for a team that pushed Leake to 70+ pitches through 4, then 35 over the next 3 innings ... then to face Chapman in the 9th
