Bottom of the second already and the game is scoreless. Paul Wilson is so-far, so-good.
Poor guys in Winter Haven. C. Trent mentions that he’s heard “horror stories” about the place. I’ve been there, myself, and I agree. The whole town feels like the place that Cleveland fans go to die.
Wilson with a nice piece of fielding to end the inning. Still scoreless after two.
Castro drives one into CF for the Reds’ first hit.
“that’s a tough road to hoe” said Jeff Brantley. You know, he’s right: roads are very tough to hoe. It’s all the concrete, I think.
Bubba fouls one off his foot. I wonder if he won’t be playing tomorrow.
Bubba flies out to deep center. Gah.
Gil strikes out. Two away and Deno at the plate.
Deno grounds into a FC. After 2 1/2, still scoreless.
This one is on TV in the Cleveland area, which means it’s on MLB.TV.
That was a pretty good at-bat for Bubba, all things considered. Two hit and runs called in a row, and he made contact on some pretty tough pitches.
fly out to right, a line-drive to first, and a HBP keeps Wilson from facing the minimum before his 3 innings were done.
That’s good: we could use a guy who can make some good contact.
A walk! C’mon Wilson.
And he gets out of it. Tribe strands two.
I was watching The Surreal Life:Fame Games on VH1 this morning. They were having a celebrity call-back-a-thon, where the B-list contestants on the show were trying to get the biggest name celebrities to call them back.
The contestants on the show are actually celebrities themselves, but I found myself wondering how big a celebrity I could get to call me back. I wonder how many points Tom Browning would be worth?
Conine’s on second after whacking a double. Javy at the plate. Groundout. Damn!
And now Burton’s in for Wilson.
Ugh. Dellucci hits one to the gap, and the OFers misplay it into a double.
Boo, tribe is up 0-1
man on second, and Burton Ks a guy
fly-out to center. Two out and a runner on 2b.
After three, the Indians continue to have 0-1 lead. C’mon Redlegs
I meant after four. Ugh.
Gil says his favorite position is CF, but he looks like an amateur out there. At least today. I think he started out as an IFer. I’m also thinking he should go back there.
Bellhorn strikes out. What happened to this guy?
Castro reaches on an error. Crosby at the bat.
Bubba Double !!
Plus, we’ve already got plenty of outfielders. Is Gil right-handed? He could platoon at first. 😀
Dude, how did you know that already? The MLB audio must be behind. Either that, or Redsfan68 has psychic powers. Ooooooh!
Bellhorn is famous for his strikeouts. There are a lot of players like him. Occasional power, a ton of K’s. He hit below the Mendoza line the past two years, and has never hit very far above it. The exception was the WS year with Boston, where he hit a whopping .260.
And a double for Bubba!
For some reason, Castro wasn’t running on an infield hit by Gil. The game could have been tied, but instead the bases are loaded.
Just gives the Heartthrob a chance for the grand salami.
Or a ticket to Louisville. Gah.
And Deno goes down swinging. It’s up to Hatteberg.
Crap. I can’t believe he got out of the jam unscathed.
Stranded the bases loaded. CTS, we’re going to need a “disgusted” smiley.
This one’s on WLW so unfortunately I’m not psychic.
😛 I don’t know what’s more annoying, Deno striking out on three pitches, or Hatteberg getting up 2-0 in the count and not cashing in.
That’s a tough call. Deno’s was preventable; at least he could have swung. But he’s also a kid, while Hatteberg’s role on the team is to put the ball in play.
Grady Seizemore strikes out against Saarloos. I wonder if any of the Grady’s Ladies are watching.
stupid indians..
2-0
RBI single. Indians now up 0-2. I continue to boo.
At least the bottom of the inning is over. After five, the Indians lead it 0-2.
I’m sorry to hear you’re not psychic, Redsfan68. That would be pretty useful (though it might take some of the fun out of watching baseball.)
Phillips leads off the top of the sixth. He’s about due to do something awesome. Marty says that so far today, Phillips has bounced out to short twice. This time he rolled it to short, so at least he’s changing it up.
Conine at the plate with one away. He lines one up the middle for a base hit with Javy coming up.
Well, Conine’s hitting well today.
And the LLM gets a hit, too.
LLM & Conine single…
Hopper grounds out
come on Castro
Well, that’s interesting. Marty says that the management doesn’t want to carry three catchers this season. I wonder what changed their mind.
Here’s a single for the LLM, so Hopper comes up with runners on first and second.
C’mon, Conine/Javy double steal!
Double by Castro
were all tied up !!!!
Aw, Conine out at third, but Castro’s got runners at first and second, too.
Game tied!
Yay! Castro’s 2-run double ties it!
Oh, Redsfan68 already said that. 🙂
