ArmyBengal Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 The Reds start a 3 game series with the Astros at home tonight.The Reds start Bailey, Arroyo, and Cueto.The Reds still maintain an 8.5 game lead on the Cards and 10 on the Pirates (not that they matter anymore).Their magic number is at 17 for the NL Central and the Nationals are pulling away for homefield advantage.GO REDS !!!

semiotter Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Any word on Votto? And well Reds get any Home field ADV for second best NL record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Votto played in the last game, going 2-3 with a walk, so he's back.Now, if they give him a work rest cycle is another story.Votto will probably want to play if he's feeling well.

duus Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Any word on Votto? And well Reds get any Home field ADV for second best NL record?My understanding is that the schedule this year has the Wild Card game occurring on Friday, October 5, with the season ending on Wednesday, October 3. The winner of that game will play the Division winner with the best record on Sunday, October 7. The other two Division winners will play each other starting Saturday, October 6. For each of the Division series, the Division winner with the better record gets 'home field advantage', yet this year that means that they play host during games 3, 4 and 5, with the first two games at the ballpark of the lesser record team. Only Bud Selig could come up with this one! Just imagine if extra games need to be played to break ties to determine Division winners!

Stripes Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Votto is like a free baserunner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Did anyone else get to see the pitch Chapman threw to lose the game? When you look up "gopherball" in the dictionary, you'll see that pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Nice win tonight. Should of had one last night too, but Chapman was intent on serving up gopher balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Rough day for the Reds today down 5-1, but it appears some new faces are making their debut in the show. A new SS Gregorius and a new pitcher Cingrani. Never heard of these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Losing 2 of 3 to the worst team in the majors on your homefield is not how I envisioned this series turning out.Next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
