4-3 Cincinnati in the 1st. Dunlop having a tough time.

“Tough time” is kind.

Just got back from getting the dog out of day camp. Boneyard or computer keyboard gremlins at work here. Have no idea how that got there. As much as I like the Hurley hire, I haven't written anything on him.

Strange, I just went back to edit Hurley out, and his name didn't show up on the edit page. Still, he remains in the post. I don't understand it.

The mods have set up a script such that any time someone types the letters D and H in immediate succession, it will display as "Dan Hurley."

 

[dbmill]

Joe Simeone has gone down to the bullpen to warm up.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, Toppa sac fly scores Woodworth who had reached 3B on an outfield error. Score tied at 4.

Cincy has an awful bullpen. Would be great to get to it early.

You probably used D.H. Tom is on some kind of crusade to eliminate the use of initials. It has odd side effects such as TLDR becoming Terry LarrierDR for a while.

 

[dbmill]

Dunlop better settle down quick in the 2nd inning or he is going to be out of the game quick.

 

[dbmill]

You probably used D.H.

That's what I did.

 

[HawkHusky]

Come on Dunlop... Making the UC offense look like Florida.

 

[dbmill]

Lead off triple, Dunlop comes out. Feldstein hurt hitting the wall. Simeone coming in to pitch. Going to be a long game.

 

[HawkHusky]

Great. All we need is another potential injury...

 

[dbmill]

Like many freshmen, Dunlop needs to pitch in some weekday games to help get his pitching sorted out.

 

[dbmill]

Lead off triple, Dunlop comes out. Feldstein hurt hitting the wall. Simeone coming in to pitch. Going to be a long game.

And I guess a long game will balance out the under 2 hours from last night.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, a sac fly gets Cincinnati a run and the 5-4 lead. Simeone records three straight outs to get out of the inning.

Anytime this team looks like they will do any damage in the postseason they have a series like this which reminds you they won't.

 

[HawkHusky]

Good work Simeone.

Of course, it doesn't help when a good chunk of the pitching staff including 2 starters are on the injury shelf.

 

[dbmill]

Nucerino pinch hitting for Feldstein. Now the injury woes are coming to the starting lineup.

 

[huskymedic]

... and here comes Nucerino pitch hitting for Feldstein after his contact w/ wall.

 

[HawkHusky]

So 2 of our top hitters are out in a game where we'll need lots of runs to win. It's gonna take a miracle to get the W.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Thad Phillips double scores Winkel to tie the game at 5.

Cincy probably thinking the same thing about UConn. Oh wait....they already started the game in our bullpen.

 

[huskymedic]

Need a shutdown inning from Simeone here...

 

[kris1]

We should have had three runs that inning. Why send Prato with Nucerino up and no outs? Prato stays the second basemen is at double play depth and never gets to Nucerino’s ball. Two on, none out and Winkel is on fire.

 

[dbmill]

Need a shutdown inning from Simeone here...

It would really help to get about 3+ innings from him.
