GDT: Cards @ Reds (4/30) ~ Game 1 ~ 11:40am CDT

[craviduce]

Loaded.....please, Noot, don't first pitch swing into a DP....or any pitch swing into a DP

Plate at least 1.

. 1st pitch ....he did it on Monday, too. Lined to 2B this time

Unbelievable

[cbcloud]

...Wow...! ANOTHER DP from the Cards ends the inning... Noot was WAY too quick to swing at that pitch. Yeah, it was a strike, but the pitcher had just walked the bases loaded, and he shoulda took a couple pitches in my opinion... This team is snake-bit when it comes to taking advantage of scoring opportunities...

Boy, these Reds must play with 4-leaf clovers in their pockets. They get all these hard hit smashed turned to double plays. That's twice Noot has smoked a ball with bases loaded and it created 2 outs ending the inning.

That's old school baseball thinking, don't see it much in today's game.

The obligatory walk…
Just settin’ ‘em up.

[Cusecards]

I can’t stand playing the Reds in this little league ballpark.
They sleep in [shirt]!
Go Cards!

[82birds]

Passing on first pitch meat pitch is always controversial.

[Lightning Rod]

Can we win this 1-0? Seems we have to the way things are going. Would be a nice win despite our lack of hitting.

appreciate your opinion ..
Watched the replay of that 1st pitch , it was center cut meatball right down the gut. I am not going to fault Noot for crushing a pitch right in his wheelhouse. We each have our own opinion.

Unfortunately, the smash went directly to the fielder (like yesterday's smash too ). Sometimes the balls are hit and they go directly to the where the fielder is positioned. Other times they go left or right of the fielder for hits .

Ya did it, boyz! Nobody better in MLB at hittin' into the ole GIDP! Yeeehaaww!
