vs. REDS, 4/19

[scOtt]

Why does Adam always have his fingers taped up?

[SteveA]

Ubaldo has a quick low ptich count clean inning.   We gonna try to get 8 out of him?

[schittenden]

Hardy's answer to all those who would say he is done.

Early-onset arthritis?

Ubaldo in the 8th?

He still has his jacket over his pitching arm.

Way more than you can ask for from Ubaldo.Buck should have a very short hook in the 8th...

very, very short. But go ahead and let him start the inning.

Right, because Buck has no history of trying to extend starting pitchers and the bullpen wasn't heavily used yesterday.

To be honest, I'm not confident at all pitching O'Day with only a two-run lead and Ubaldo's absolutely cruising right now. There's no reason why Ubaldo shouldn't be given every opportunity to complete the eighth inning before Brach pitches in the ninth.

I despise bringing relievers in with runners on.

good counterpoint.

Adam just sneaks in there.

[scOtt]

He's out. Don't think they'll overturn tho.

Manny swung at ball 4...

And two balls before that. Poor AB, should really be 1st and 2nd with no outs now. 

[SteveA]

Tom Petty in the background.

[O's are Legends]

What in the world is Manny swinging at? Swung at some horrible pitches in the dirt.
