Braun got out!

[UMFan83]

How can a GM so obsessed with acquiring bullpen arms have such a horrible bullpen?

 

Ask Kenny Williams

I guess he's like the coin collector who just keeps a bunch of wheat pennies around. They may be neat, but all in all not very valuable or rare.

[inari]

Crap...

[reds44]

Hall is THE Reds killer.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Nice K there. One more out, plz.

[soccer10k]

Hall K's. 2 down.

[reds44]

Burton is NASTY.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ok, that's good.

[weis21]

wasn't there somebody available to PH for Hamilton? It seems pretty apparent the LOOGY could mow down the lefties.

 

Could've gone to pretty much any RH hitter and left Griffey in the OF next inning.

 

We've gotta realize that this isn't a must win for the Reds where all the stops are gonna be pulled out. I was personally kinda surprised they hit Valentin for Jorgensen even.

 

the reds(edit) haven't had a "must win" in years. they are still obligated to make the moves necessary to try to win everyday. i suppose they thought their best option was hamilton and i disagreed.

And we go to the ninth.

[otis89]

Yay! Hopefully the Reds bullpen can get 3 more outs!

[Cynosure]

WOOOOOO!

[JimSorgi]

WOOHOO!

There is nothing to disagree with. The only Rightys on the bench were Bellhorn (switch hitter) and Ellison. Hamilton was the right move.

 

Stormy time in the 9th.

I sense the magic number being 39 pretty soon... LETS GET SOME insurance RUNS!

Did you happen to miss 2006?

[Cynosure]

terrible call

[Cynosure]

Keppinger singles!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'd like the Reds to add a run or two because I have very little faith in Stormy Weathers.

[Cynosure]

God will homer here.

[otis89]

God will homer here.

 

Nope. Strikeout.

[Cynosure]

By homer I meant K.

They also have to do what's best for their organization, and allowing Hamilton to see big leauge lefty pitching is part of that. Fred McGriff '02 was a better hitter than Hee Seop Choi '02, but it didn't mean Fred McGriff should've been starting all those games down the stretch.
