Reds vs. Astros Game 3

[redsrbetter]

Today we want to win the series! So there is going to have to be plenty of quality hitting involved from a Reds standpoint. We are facing Brandon Duckworth who has a 9.00 ERA this year. Our team has not faced Duckworth too much as the most AB are 6 from one player in Aurilia. I bet he gets the start too because he has hit .500 against.

Harans is starting for the Reds and I hope he gives us a good game. I have liked his approach so far this year. But the Astros seem to really hit him well.

Today's Lineup:

Jiminez 2B
Griffey CF
Casey 1B
Randa 3B
Dunn LF
Pena RF
Lopez SS
LaRue C
Harang P

Good to see Pena get the start as he has been good of late. Lopez starting? That will be a shocker. Now he can build on his .400 AVG. So I like this lineup today, but really want Freel to start soon in place of DJ.

Wily Mo and FeLo starting? Too bad everyday can't have a Sunday special lineup.

[NFLman2033]

awesome, this is the exact lineup i want to see everyday

[redsrbetter]

Nice job by Harang to K Bagweel in an all important situation. Lets see a comeback after the first 2 batters hurt him!

[redsrbetter]

Casey gets a hit after two outs. He is hitting now and making that average climb ever so slightly.

Randa HR...2-0 Reds!!!

King Joe

[redsrbetter]

Randa hits his 4th Home Run! 2-0 Reds. Is he fighting for an MVP already today? LOL

[missionhockey21]

That strike 'em out throw 'em out in the 1st was sweet.

[missionhockey21]

Joe Randa = New Mayor of Cincy

Randa is earning his contract for sure.

[ghettochild]

dunn grounds out...2-0 reds after 1

That strike 'em out throw 'em out in the 1st was sweet.

Heck ya it was. Got Harang out of some trouble. Hopefully he comes back down and owns the Stros this inning. He did well against the last 2 hitters faced.
