Afternoon Baseball - Reds at Brewers, 1:05pm

Mandolux-cubs2k7-2560_tiny by sanantonecub on

MLB.com Reds blurb:

Though Dusty Baker has seven extra callups at his disposal, he has to be careful how to use them. He'll try to manipulate his lineup in Wednesday's finale vs. the Brewers.

MLB.com Brewers blurb:

CC Sabathia's start in Wednesday's series finale against the Reds was initially questioned, but now that they're facing a sweep, the Brewers realize they need their ace.

 

This game is on FSN Ohio, WMLW 41, AFN, Extra Innings, and MLB.tv

I was almost hoping for the Brewers one to listen to their excuses! Damn!

A win by the Reds is too much to ask for

They took two in a row bless them. Phillips also injured himself getting the game winning hit last night and is probably out for the season. We should chip in and send him some bagels.

I'm in. Watching on mlb.tv in my cube.

May the gentle folksinger Arroyo defeat the Hundred-Plus-Pitch Monster Sabathia.

The ONLY way the Reds win

Is if Arroyo is lights out and they make CC throw enough pitches to go make Brewers go to bullpen.

So CC needs to throw...what...150?

Forget that plan

After getting CC to throw 18 pitches in the first , the Reds went down on 7 pitches in the 2nd.
Perhaps if the Red’s players all came to the plate with a sausage in their hands instead of a bat
CC would just throw wildly and walk in runs while hoping to eat them.

This game should be delayed on account of shadows.

On the bright side (no pun intended), this one should be over quickly, assuming one of the two teams scratches across a run.
