Starting pitcher for the Reds is former Twin - Kyle Lohse, and pitching for the Twinkies is former Red - Ramon “the barber” Ortiz.
Game time is 7:05 EST
Billy Boy Bray now pitching… facing Morneau… line out to Hatteberg.
Yeoman effort by Meadows…nice job, no earned runs.
If the Twins announcers can be believed–and I know that’s a big if considering their lack of knowledge about the Reds–then Torii Hunter’s going to be okay.
That’s good news. Injuries are one thing about sports that I like the least.
ground out, fly out… 3 up and 3 down.
Bases are loaded with nobody out. Anyboy know who’s pitching for the Reds?
I think they said Belisle. (Sp?)
It was Belisle. Not an impressive beginning, but he managed to get out of it without allowing any runs somehow.
Another error for Machado.
And Young Votto’s in.
I can’t believe Ruben Sierra signed with the Mets. An NL team?
What position is he planning on playing? He can only pinch-hit once a game.
Sierra is theoretically an outfielder, but the average hatrack has more range than he does.
Gawd, these Twinkies announcers are dopey. Bubba over-exposed? He barely saw the light of day with the Yankees. Heck, since when to the Yanks over-expose any prospect???
Another double to left for Bubba…
And that hit drove in some runs. Way to go Bubba!
And they actually do know about Hermanson…
Ah, my first mid-game nap of the season,… and I did wake up to hear Crosby drive in 2 go ahead runs.
Sounds like it was sort of a lucky hit. But hey, I’ll take it. 😀
These announcers are so damn boring they put me straight to sleep… my apologies. This would have never happened if Marty and son had been doing the game.
If I never hear the Bert Blyleven, Private Eye commercial again, it’ll be too soon. How many bad baseball puns can one 30 second spot contain?
How did the Reds score their 2nd run?
Moeller drives in Votto with a line drive base hit.
Gil lines out.
Bubba Crosby at-bat.
Crosby flies out to RF. Reds 5-2 lead heading to the bottom of the 9th.
Some unheard of pitcher on for the Reds…Kerschner?
Strike 3 looking…AND THIS ONE BELONGS TO THE REDS!
No problem closing it out this time.
Maybe Kershner can be the closer! 😀
