Reds @ Padres Extra Innings

[CubsGM]

17th inning now and Aaron Harang is at 60 pitches.

[UMFan83]

I am assuming he was tomorrow's starter? Haha

[BCVM22]

Volquez now in.

[Terp]

Wow.

[UMFan83]

Volquez now in.

 

HAHAHAHA

 

The Reds have now used 23 of their 25 players.

[Little Slide Rooter]

why bother? Neither of them are going anywhere in the end. Its like Hilary Clinton and Bob Barr pulling an all night debate.

[killthegoat06]

Volquez now in.

 

HAHAHAHA

Dusty at his best.

[BCVM22]

On to the 18th.

[CubColtPacer]

It's pretty obvious the Padres don't care about Josh Banks's arm, extra innings or not. He threw 42 pitches yesterday, and is now up to 72 pitches today with 2 outs in the 18th.

[CubColtPacer]

Volquez now in.

 

HAHAHAHA

 

The Reds have now used 23 of their 25 players.

 

If I'm counting correctly, it's actually 24. Arroyo was used as a pinch-hitter several innings ago.

 

They have Cueto left. That's it.

Cpatt is 0-8. Nice.

[BCVM22]

Ballgame, Adrian Gonzalez with the walkoff 3-run homer to center.

[killthegoat06]

Cpatt is 0-8. Nice.

And still batting leadoff. :D

[SouthSideRyan]

That was disappointing, I just picked it up on gameday in the top of the 18th. I was pulling for a few more innings leading to either a shameless Dustying of Edinson's arm(the least fun), Cueto pitching on consecutive days thus having a team use all 25 players, or ideally, Volquez/Cueto as a LF with Ryan Freel pitching in a tie game.

[Yanksfan1523]

Cpatt is 0-8. Nice.

 

 

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[haubrich91]

Why does it seem like the Padres always play really long extra inning games?

[Derwood]

must be nice to give up a 3-run, walk off homer and have none of the runs be earned

Poor Edison. Has to start Friday and throw again on Sunday. I would feel bad for Reds fans, except they were warned.

I don't think it really matters to a pitcher if they go:

 

start, off day, off day, side session, off day, start

or if they go:

start, off day, side session, off day, off day, start

 

It's still essentially the same thing. The fact that he got taken out a little early of Friday's night game probably helped as well.

 

Now if the game had continued, my gut feeling would be that Volquez would have thrown 20-25 more pitches. That would have been a problem. The amount he threw though was a decent side session.

I doubt there's anyway to prove it, but those are high-stress pitches he was throwing, making it tougher than just an ordinary side session. As I mentioned though, it's hard to blame Baker for the 2 innings. It's the likelihood that he would've went another 3 that's the problem.

because their offense always sucks and their pitching is always good.

[CubmanPi]

How many innings was their marathon vs Colorado (I believe) earlier this year? Was it 22?
