Welp, another disappointment last night...

Lineup:
Cozart
Heisey
Votto
Phillips
Bruce
Rolen
Frazier
Hanigan
Cueto

Flip flop Rolen and Frazier and I'm OK with it. OR Frazier in for Rolen and Luddy in left.

It's Reds Hall of Fame day. The Mayor will be inducted today. Should be a fun day at GABP.

Rolen was 3/4 and ripping yesterday....no one was better offensively for the Reds.

Being at the game....he was moving well around the bases, looked better than a while back for sure.

Two guys in the seats behind me were discussing whether or not a complete game pitching was 6 or 7 innings....after some debate they decided on 7 being the answer...my head nearly exploded.

Everyone knows a complete game is 8!

Do you get a CG if you are the visiting pitcher and you go all 8 but home team had lead so the 9th wasn't necessary?

Visiting pitcher only needs 5 innings for a complete game. I should of specified that before.

Pretty sure you did!

5-8 inning rain-shortened games as well.

Visiting pitcher in a rain-shortened 5 inning game that they lost could have a 4 inn CG?

From hearing Brantley talk, that would be the only kind of complete game he would have been able to get!

He loves to use his southern drawl and exaggerate to make a point.

Brantley, Grande and Casey all tickling each other in the press box.....gross.

Show him getting thrown out at first on a hit to LF.

Phillips is the best defensive infielder in baseball.

Lol....Cueto killing Rolen.

Rolen breaks for the suicide squeeze, Cueto misses it and Rolen got back to 3rd.

Damn good base-running by Rolen for a run.

I figure Cueto has no more than 6 hitters left(to get thru the line-up 3 times). How many outs can he get?

4 batters, 18 pitches(118 total), 3Ks in the 7th for Johnny. Will that be it for him with a 5-0 lead?

I will continue to talk shit about Scotty if he continues to play like this.

Wish I could have actually seen some of this game. Spent the afternoon on the course instead.
