JBandJoeyV Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 [quote name='Bengals1181' timestamp='1286409925' post='927572'] when you're down to the last out, you go all out. It was close enough that he should have slid. [/quote] dude I'm telling you you aren't supposed to slide on a throw like that if you run down the inside of the line there's a solid chance it could hit him in the back. That's a much harder throw for the catcher then if he's sliding. but anyways...weve beaten oswalt twice this year. Lets do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorclaws Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yeah, sports science did a thing on running through vs sliding. Sliding is only better if you time it perfect cause the second you hit the ground you really slow down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 no reason to panic, Phillies only had 5 hits, and only 1 after the 2nd inning. And if not for (IMO) and error on Cabrera, Volquez retires the side in the 2nd and its 1-0 going into the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 UGH! YIKES! And other shit like that. The Bengals go 15 years without a Playoff game and get Kimo'd. The Reds go 15 years without a Playoff game and get Halladay'd. I swear, sometimes I think Cincy is cursed. Every Reds batter that left the plate to head back to the dugout just made me slink farther and farther down on the couch. By the end of the game, I was laying on the floor. No joke. Oh well. Praying for a bounce back Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBandJoeyV Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 whatever I like ocab standing up for himself. all that matters is that if we win friday we are in the drivers seat. Just need to win 1 in philly and I think we can do it. Their hitting is overrated. Just get some runs off oswalt and we will be fine. I still believe!

How often do you see rolen or ocab bitch? I'd say almost never. Both did tonight must have been a good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalRep85-9 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 The Philly pitchers are going to continue throwing the first pitch to every batter right over the plate if the reds aren't going to swing at it. FFS I think Phillips took the first pitch in his at bat RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE in the 9th with 2 outs. What are you trying to do? Run up his pitch count in that situation? Swing the fucking bat!! How many times did Halladay throw a first pitch strike and the hitter just look at it come right over the plate? It had to have been at least 20. That's the best pitch you're going to see people, you might as well swing at it. Once you get behind to a pitcher like him (and ump for that matter) you're done. Disgusted with the entire O's performance. The only good thing that came out of this game was it showed our bullpen can shut them down if need be and we didn't even use chapman or rhodes. Wood was lights out. He definitely needs to be the game 4 starter if it gets that far, he's thrown something like 13 straight scoreless innings against philly. Switch wood to the rotation and put volquez in the pen. At least for this series. Put volquez back in the rotation if we make it to the NLCS.

cincybengalz Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 What an amazing game to be at! Didn't post last night in the rain with a cell phone. Plus don't think anyone wanted to hear shit from me during that. It was amazing to be part of a historical game. I think the Reds come out pissed and hit some tomorrow. You have to right?

If Arroyo can have a good game and we can score some runs off Oswalt it would be huge. As far as hamels, the reds in the past have been a team full of LH dominant hitters (Dunn, Griffey, etc). We used to struggle mightly against LH pitchers. Now we are more RH dominant with Gomes, Phillips, Ocab, Rolen, Stubbs, Hernandez/Hanny, Heisey, etc. I think we match up much better against lefties this year then years past. (although hamels did shut us down once this year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
