Conspiracy? Nope never said that. Just shouldn't have happened, cause now if say a Pirate accidentally hits a better he's out, but it's ok if the Reds accidentally do it twice.

[Bengals78]

If your manager wouldn't have left the dugout, if Cutch wouldn't have screamed and yelled last night and Harrison would have just jogged down to 1st this is no issue.

[Smooth Criminal]

You're right next time everyone should just smile laugh and be submissive about getting hit and then unfairly getting warned. None of the 3 overreacted on the field at all.

And Hurdle has nothing to do with my issue. He didn't come out of the dugout until after the Pirates got warned, which is my issue with all of this.

[Hines]

I had no problem with Harrison getting hit. Didn't think it was intentional at all. I just didn't like how Leake was walking towards Harrison and barking. Also ******** how Hurdle got tossed by talking to the ump.

I never said smile and laugh.
I just said dont act like a jackass when you get hit accidentally.

JMac can't stand having the lead. Gets behind batters to get them on base and Ludwick just keeps hitting for any team not named the Pirates.

**** this Reds team is good.

[Smooth Criminal]

How many infield hits can one team get?

[Notredameleo]

A-Jax just misplayed a fly ball to end Fisters perfect game through 5 2/3. Not error worthy, but a play that I've seen him make routinely. Oh well.

[Bengals78]

Reds are trying to give the game away.

[BloodBrother]

Trout up to his old tricks again I see

Pretty good ball game in Cincy.

[Hines]

I feel so bad for Pedro. He gets robbed so much at the plate.

Great play by Cairo, though.

[Bengals78]

The Old Farts showed up to play

[Hines]

Bannister lost this for the Pirates. Why the **** wasn't Grilli in???

[Smooth Criminal]

Planning on playing longer than 9 innings. Forgot the part of having to keep them from scoring.

[Bengals78]

If the team can keep this pace up when Votto gets back, we will be in it for the long haul.

[Hines]

Go get em tomorrow. Our best pitcher is on the mound and JMac threw pretty well. Sucks that the Reds are jumping out to a sizeable lead.

[BigDawg819]

These races could be epic as head down the stretch. Great baseball is upon us gents and its only going to get better.

Now if Jmac hits someone, cause you know it just happens sometimes (not to mention how his control has been lately) he'll get thrown out.

Duh they ALWAYS warn both teams for hitting a batter they never just warn the team that hit the guy. They warn both teams or they warn no team.

[Brent]

only the Giants could blow a lead like this

So what about when Jared Hughes decides he is going to almost tackle the runner instead of just tagging him?

[holt_bruce81]

Jaime Garcia made his 2nd rehab start tonight, will probably make one more start and then rejoin the Cardinals sometime in mid-august.

Nice win tonight, Cardinals need to actually start beating the teams they should. Going 3-3 against the Cubs and Rockies while the Reds, Pirates and Braves are pretty much winning every night is frustrating.

I really don't think the Reds will lose another game, that team is scary good right now, so I'm just rooting for a wild card spot.

[themaninblack]

I'm still more concerned about the Cards than the Buccos.
