6/11 Cubs[Marmol] @ Reds[Milton] - 12:15 pm CT on WGN

[Bruno7481]

Eyre's now pitched in 4 of 5 games. It's a blowout, let Angel pitch por favor.

 

I'm sure he was already up and warming once Ohman retired Lopez in the 7th. Especially with Griffey and Dunn to follow. Makes sense for him to come into the game in that spot.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kearns grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Dunn now has a 1.056 OPS against LHP for the year.

[Shavo]

What are the names of the Reds announcers? Anybody know?

[mul21]

Dunn now has a 1.056 OPS against LHP for the year.

 

Is it like 1.500 against RHP? Geez.

There's plenty of time to get Guzman up during the last half inning, it was 6-2 after the first HR, and 8-2 after the second HR with only one out.

And he warmed up yesterday, I believe.

 

Don't want him to get rusty.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Dunn now has a 1.056 OPS against LHP for the year.

 

Is it like 1.500 against RHP? Geez.

 

Well, it's in the .950's overall, so I'm guessing it's about .900

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hatteberg grounded an IF single to second base

[mul21]

Who said Walker plays bad defense?

Besides today, he's only pitched once in this series and that was on Friday.

 

He'll be fine. Today makes twice in4 games by my count.

Let's hope we don't see him again until Wednesday or so.

On to the 9th. This game has really started dragging along.

Do we catch Oswalt this series?

 

dont think so, hes on the DL

Isn't he due to come off this week though?

As of a few days ago, I believe he was planning on starting against the Cubs.

 

EDIT: He's going Tuesday.

Crap who do we send out there against him?

[Roast]

Who said Walker plays bad defense?

 

People who need an excuse not to like him, and have no other proof besides the (unfortunatley) accepted myth that he is a poor defender.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 24-3 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

White in to pitch for Cincinnati

[Bruno7481]

brandon Phillips has really turned out to be a good pickup for the Reds.

I don't doubt that. I care about Guzman, who's going to rot away if he's not even going to be used in situations like this.

Walker is a poor defender, that's no myth.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett grounded out to third, 5-3

[illiniguy]

brandon Phillips has really turned out to be a good pickup for the Reds.

I can't believe we didn't get him, what with our huge love for 2B.

I see what your saying. Certainly looks like he's not going to back into the rotation with Marmol's performance today.
