Opening Day 2008: DBacks at Reds

[redsrbetter]

Hopper gets beaned on the arm.

HR time for Patterson?

[redsrbetter]

Nah, he flies out to CF on the first pitch. Just got under it.

[bipster]

Patterson swings on the first pitch AGAIN and lines out to center

[redsrbetter]

We have to at least threaten to score more runs. Big bats due up for both teams in the eighth. Lets make this inning much better than we did last season.

[redsrbetter]

Stormy in to pitch the eighth.

[bipster]

Patterson covers a lot of ground for his second good play in CF on the day

[redsrbetter]

Hudson flies out to Patterson. Nice range again.

[redsrbetter]

Byrnes grounds out to Keppi. 2 outs. 1 more Stormy.

[redsrbetter]

ew, almost a collision. Griffey says "I am the man here, if I can reach it, it's mine" Not a good line of thinking by Junior there IMO.

Patterson definitely was calling it. But Jr. makes the grab for the final out.

Bad communication can ruin ballgames.

[redsrbetter]

Ok, now that I am off my soapbox; lets get some freakin runs Reds! Big sticks coming up.

[redsrbetter]

Pena in to pitch for the snakes...

[redsrbetter]

Keppi makes solid contact but right at Drew. 1 out

[redsrbetter]

Hudson with an awesome play to rob Griffey of the basehit. WOW!

[redsrbetter]

BP Ks looking at a questionable up and in pitch. 3rd strike out for Phillips tonight. But he is the only Red to get something going tonight with the bat as well.

[redsrbetter]

So our ninth inning will consist of Dunn, EdE, and Hatteberg. Can we do it?
