And this surprises you?

What surprises me is that with offensive ineptness being so frequent for them that the Reds have a record that is within one game of being the best in MLB!

From John Fay:

–Speier would have rather had Joey Votto take the sure out at first on the sacrifice attempt in the 10th. Votto threw to second Elian Herrera was safe. “The aggressiveness of Joey . . . There’s time for that,” Speier said. “Herrera’s a good runner. You want to take the out there.”
–The Reds brought in left-hander Sean Marshall to face Andre Either with bases loaded in the 10th. Marshall struck him out on three pitches. Speier left Marshall in to face Kemp, who was hitting .380 off lefties. Marshall got ahead 0-2, but Kemp lined a two-run single into right. “I went back and looked at the tape,” Marshall said. “It was out of the strike zone. It was a good hit. A pro hit it. It was fun game, a good baseball game. We’ve got another game (today) and another chance to clinch.”


I think Speier would make a good manager. I think a lot of good things that happen for the Reds originate with ideas from him, such as defensive positioning, calling pitch-outs, suicide and safety squeezes, etc.



Marshall says the pitch Kemp hit was off the plate. No doubt it was a great job of hitting, but the K-zone showed it about 2-4" within the strike zone - it just wasn't in as much as he was shooting for!

Cards tie the Cubs in the top of the 9th as the Reds sold out game is starting, so the Reds will have two chances to clinch the division while they are on the field today.

Just listened to the postgame on 700. Sounds like a good time, haha.

Brandon Phillips on his HR: "I saw a hanging curve and I tried to hit the hell out of it and I did hit the hell out of it."
