I really doubt I will be on for this one much guys seeing that I've been at the computer for 4-5 hours talking about the draft but we'll see. Burned out is the feeling I got.

[redsrbetter]

I am at work, so can't watch it. But am here if someone wants to talk it up.

[redsrbetter]

Hatteberg leading off. I guess so if you don't want Hamilton in there. I hope Narron can throw something better than that out there for Bailey tomorrow night.

[redsrbetter]

Honestly, does anyone care if we win or lose tonight? I guess I do somewhat in a desperate hope that this team all of a sudden turns around since Bailey has been called up.

[redsrbetter]

Reds went down 1-2-3

Hatteberg flies out to CF
Castro is an auto out and I dont even have to talk about what he did
Griffey grounds out to 3B

[redsrbetter]

Lohse goes 1-2-3

flyout to LF
flyout to CF
groundout to 2B

[redsrbetter]

Its hysterical that Castro is batting second. Narron really wants to lose his job I think.

[redsrbetter]

Pretty much following the script. The Reds threaten in the 2nd inning. Well, that was until Ross came up.

BP flies out to LF
Dunn Ks
EdE reaches on an infield single
Hamilton singles to CF
Ross Ks.

Calling for Mesoraco already!

[missionhockey21]

3-2 count on a pitch that was an obvious strike that Ross sits and stares on... ugh.

[redsrbetter]

Another 1-2-3 for Lohse.

groundout to BP
popout to BP
flyout to Dunn

[redsrbetter]

3-2 count on a pitch that was an obvious strike that Ross sits and stares on... ugh.

I figured it was something like that. Gotta love it. Too bad there really are no better options for us at catcher right now. Hopefully can lead Lohse into what is looking like a good game.

[redsrbetter]

Lohse is out (not sure how)
Hatteberg fouls out
Then the auto out

[redsrbetter]

This really sucks for Hatteberg as well. He can't use his talents because nobody will be on in front of him with Ross and Lohse batting in front of him. Then Castro is no protection for him. He should be walking all night.

[redsrbetter]

Griffey HR!

1-0 Reds!

[redsrbetter]

EdE 2-run HR!

3-0 Reds!
