Reds vs Giants 7/3/2007 Mackanin and Kelly's debut

[redsrbetter]

Freel is back as well. Lets get this one gong guys

[redsrbetter]

Mack's lineup is more of the same:

REDS
Freel, cf
Phillips, 2b
Griffey Jr., rf
Conine, 1b
Dunn, lf
Encarnacion, 3b
Gonzalez, ss
Ross, c
Harang, rhp

GIANTS
Roberts, cf
Winn, rf
Durham, 2b
Bonds, lf
Klesko, 1b
Molina, c
Feliz, 3b
Vizquel, ss

[redsrbetter]

Lets see if Freel is indeed a bit more reserved and hopefully patience comes with it at the plate.

I am interested to see how Mack manages a game as well. He kept saying that Earl Weaver was a 3 run HR guy and Whitey Herzog was a small ball kind of guy. He like his managing with those views. He figures out what kind of team he has and manages it to its fitting.

[redsrbetter]

Harang Ks Roberst to start this one off.

It's Harang vs Zito. I remember when they were both on the A's...that was one weird year. Harang is looking pretty good so far. He k'd Roberts to start the game. And he just k'd Winn. So far, so good.

[redsrbetter]

Harang gets Winn on a slider. 2 Ks two outs.

[redsrbetter]

Whats up hottie? How is life today?

[redsrbetter]

Anyone concerned that Hamilton did not start? Is this the beginning of talented players sitting? Or is Mackanin just getting Freel in there?

[redsrbetter]

Team took infield this morning. Mack doing the right thing early...

Evil stands at home...

[redsrbetter]

Harang walks Durham as Bonds gets booed big time. Per usual.

[redsrbetter]

Hey CRF, sup?

[CincyRedsFan30]

And evil strikes...

[redsrbetter]

751 for Bonds. Crowd has a mixture of boos and cheers. More cheers though.

2-0 Giants

[CincyRedsFan30]

Awful pitch on 0-2 to Bonds. Harang has to know better than that.

Seems like something an advance scout would know. Oh wait...
