Game Thread: Reds @ Pirates

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Thought for sure that was going to be a double play. Looks like luck is on our side tonight. 5-1 Pirates, awesome!

 

[HammerDown]

Joe Morgan didn't look amused.

Pedro centered that ball, but he centered it right at Cozart.

Happy with this start... curious to see how hurdle handles pitchers now up 5-1.

You're in a position to think about lifting Liriano to have him ready to go for game 2.

 

[Darkstone42]

The Reds will start the fifth with their fourth pitcher of the night it appears.

 

[steelparrot]

Nah leave him in, unless he starts walking more people...

 

[sychmd]

leave liriano go as far as he can.
we need to ensure a win first.
game 3 is on sunday, his usual rest and will be at home. game 2 is away. we want him home.
let aj go game one and cole go game 2. cole is rested and psyched up to go against the rookie pitchers of the cards.

Agreed. Getting Liriano at home as often as possible could be a key to postseason success.

 

[steelparrot]

Needed that dp, no more walks!

 

[steelparrot]

Barmes even chipping in

 

[Darkstone42]

Way to field your position, Franky!

Pinch me....

but not too hard............

 

[Darkstone42]

When you're getting Votto to chase, you're stuff is crazy.

 

[Darkstone42]

Cutch drove that ball with some authority. Another great at bat.

 

[Darkstone42]

Nice swing by Morneau. He's looked good tonight. Really focused it seems.

 

[SFNL]

chance to blow the doors off again

 

[Darkstone42]

A favorable call on the outside corner let Parra stretch the zone against Pedro. He swung at a bad pitch there, but after that first strike call, he almost had to.

 

[Darkstone42]

Franky's been getting that call, too. He's just been taking advantage of it a bit more.

 

[SFNL]

8 LOB so far... That makes me uneasy
