Game Thread: Reds @ Pirates

[Darkstone42]

Morneau was robbed by Frazier there.

 

[Darkstone42]

Good hustle by McCutchen to get back.

 

[steelparrot]

We'll take everything they wanna give

 

[Darkstone42]

Man, that ball was smoked. Not much of a chance for Cozart to field that one, honestly. Between the hop and the speed, that was going to take a great bit of glovework.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Nice 3-0 on the sacrifice, I'll take it.

 

[Darkstone42]

Good work, Pedro. Didn't look to do too much with it, just put it in the air to the outfield.

 

[Darkstone42]

Martin hits one into the hole. Great stop by Cozart, but no chance to get an out.

 

[Darkstone42]

Barmes didn't miss that by much, pretty hard chopper, but Phillips was in the right place.

The only softly hit balls Cueto's allowed have been a bunt, a foulout, and an infield single.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Uh oh, Reds are threatening here. Double play would be nice right now.

 

[Darkstone42]

Bruce found a hole, but Liriano didn't panic and got Frazier swinging at that nasty change.

 

[Darkstone42]

Marte smoked that ball. And there goes Johnny!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Hope the fans continue the Cueto chants even with him out of the game.

 

[Darkstone42]

Another two-syllable guy in. We can chant his name.

 

[Darkstone42]

Come on Walker.

 

[Darkstone42]

Neil's a little out in front of these.

 

[Darkstone42]

And he adjusted. Great job of staying back to drive that to the wall in left.

 

[Darkstone42]

Alright, Justin, here we go.

 

[Darkstone42]

Morneau is battling.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Got that run back, bases are loaded with just 1 out. Looks like the Reds are changing pitchers again. Another good inning for the Bucs but it has the potential to get even better.

 

[Darkstone42]

That was a great at bat by Morneau. Really a tremendous battle. He never really got one to hit, but he kept wasting the tough ones and drew the walk.
