I would still like to Pena splitting up the lefties so that teams cant bring in 1 Lefty for the big three then back to another righty. Although this is much better than 90% of the lienups weve seen.

Ortiz has been decent lately. Lets see what we get out of him tonight. Go reds!

[missionhockey21]

Ortiz missing and gives up the leadoff walk to Furcal.

[redsrbetter]

you can't give up a leadoff walk to Furcal. Watch out for the steal.

[missionhockey21]

The speedy Furcal is heading for 2nd and LaRue throws a strike for the out. Nice.

[redsrbetter]

Got him!!!!

[missionhockey21]

Giles hits a soft liner up the middle for a basehit.

[redsrbetter]

Come on Ortiz, we can't have you like this tonight.

[redsrbetter]

Well, not a good start at all for tonight.

[redsrbetter]

Ortiz continues to get behind these hitters to where they just sit fastball. A. jones sitting dead red.

[redsrbetter]

He just missed the bomb. 2 outs.

[redsrbetter]

Junior just missed that one, would have been really nice. 2-0 Braves. Ortiz has not gotten ahead of a hitter.

[redsrbetter]

Well after Ruhle came out to chat, Ortiz throws his first pitch which gets hit right to Casey for the final out.

Lets get these runs back right away.

[General]

Sosa will end you.
