No. He bobbled the ball.

right, but he got a throw off to first. Was Posey running home from the start or did he wait until the throw?


Just saw the replay now. Wonder if Rolen could have gotten Posey considering Posey was jogging.

Game 4 ;)
[/quote]

maybe we're using a mulligan

I think it was just a drunk guy at the beginning of the game, not a streaker. He was being taken off the field as we got there. Took over an hour to get there due to an accident on the highway when it normally takes a little over 20 minutes.

as far as Bengals at the game, I was surprised they didn't have a box or something. They were just walking around and seemingly no one knew who they were. Took me a bit to recognize Dalton was walking right at me since his hat was pulled down low. AJ was easy to recognize and got in line a few people behind me while I was getting food. They weren't together and didn't see anyone else. Dalton was with his wife and AJ had a date there also.

Not being a massive baseball myself (though I support the Red Sox), I couldn't help seeing the hype being generated by the Red's success this year. One thing I do know is, looking at the stats, you'd better pray Mike Leake pitches well in the next game, coz I get the impression he's a liability for the Reds.

In the playoffs they go with a 3 man rotation the only reason homer pitched was because of cuetos injury. Latos will pitch again tonight.

It's spread over many years, but it's kinda crazy that Scott Rolen -- Scott Rolen! -- has 7 errors in his last 13 playoff games.[/background][/font][/color]

[b] Energy palpable among Reds fans[/b]

[b] Great American Ball Park has different air about it in '12 playoffs[/b]


[color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
CINCINNATI -- When the Cincinnati Reds won back-to-back World Series championships in 1975 and '76, my parents were teenagers.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
When the team won it all again in 1990, my parents had yet to meet each other.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
I was one year too late for the party in 1995, when the Redlegs clinched a National League Division Series title, sweeping the Dodgers 3-0.[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
But in 2010, when the Reds made their one and only home playoff appearance after clinching the NL Central, I was 13 years old and in the stands at Great American Ball Park, whooping and waving my rally towel, only to watch the home team struggle through a series-clinching loss.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
But this year is different.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
This year, I was there for what they call "Clinchmas" -- the Reds' decisive 6-0 victory over the Dodgers that made them winners of the NL Central.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
And Game 3 of this year's NLDS was my first playoff game on duty as a reporter -- the Reds emerged from San Francisco with a 2-0 lead in the series, but a clinch was not to be, as the Giants rallied to win, 2-1, in 10 innings.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
You can tell me it's all the same. Say I've walked the same way to the press box from Opening Day through the dog days of summer. Say I've stood on the same field, seen the same familiar faces all season long.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
And you'd be right.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
Yes, it wouldn't be illogical for one to say that the playoff experience ought to be the same.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
Illogical, no. But correct? Also a no.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
The excitement I witnessed on Tuesday was more palpable than I've seen in 10 years of attending ballgames as a fan.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
There was a certain, undeniable vibe that ran through the ol' ballpark. From the crowds congregating at the Banks downtown as we inched through traffic toward the ballpark, to the "Postseason 2012" logos that greeted you everywhere you looked -- on the scoreboard, in the concourse, on the players' uniforms and caps -- even the field itself has postseason logos painted into the grass.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
On days like that, the ballpark just seems brighter. The place just glows with excitement, anticipation the whole city feels. It wasn't just Reds fans that showed up Tuesday night, it was Cincinnati. The city itself; gathered together in one place. The 29 acres, the 42,271 seats, the 10,100 tons of steel were alive.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
The fans cheered every strike, every out, every batter. They waved their rally towels, making the place look like a swirling vortex of red and white. They emphatically punctuated every move their beloved Reds made with a cacophony of screams and shrieks that, together with the barks of the vendors, the smack of the glove, and the crack of the bat, created a wonderful sort of melody: the sound of baseball.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
And not just any baseball: playoff baseball. Make no mistake about it, things were not the same as they were this time of year in 2010, or during the regular season.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
Things are different now. Things are magical. Nothing can beat the frenzy of rally towels thrust into the air, twisting and turning as they gyrate every which way. Nothing can beat the roaring of the crowd, at turns worrisome and distraught, exuberant and euphoric.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
No, it was not an ordinary day at Great American Ball Park. It will live on in the lore of the team, and more importantly, be etched forever in the memories of those who made it the remarkable night it was: the fans.[/font][/color]

I'd like to see Frazier get the start today. Even ignoring the errors, Rolens bat has been cold. Then if necessary, Rolen's fully rested for tomorrow also.

Raise your hand if you'd feel good with fully rested Latos and Arroyo (3 days rest) for a Game 5? That's what I thought. Leake.[/background][/font][/color]

Dusty can back-up Leake with rested Arredono, Hoover, Simon and LeCure +Marshall threw only 10 pitches, Chapman 15 last night.[/background][/font][/color]

I really hope Leake has still been throwing. I assume he has.

Unless there's 0% chance Cueto can come back, I DL someone like Cairo. I worry about getting rid of a reliever just incase they're needed heavily tonight.

They mentioned he had been doing bullpin work

The Reds in process of getting approval from MLB to add Leake as injury replacement for Cueto. Team trainers must make statements, etc.[/background][/font][/color]
