This is one of the worst innings of the year for Contreras. Anderson needs to hit the cutoff man though.

QUOTE(The-Legend-Of-Pujols @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 08:45 PM) Carlos Marmol will be better than any Sox pitcher in a couple of years you can bet on that. I HATE the Cubs because Im a Die Hard Cardinals fan but Marmol is my favorite pitcher in the league because he has a cannon for an arm and is so poise and has a great curveball with an upper 90's fastball. Carlos Marmol will be the Rookie-Of the-Year. Wow....this might become a legendary post. What day should I plan Marmol's Hall of Fame acceptance speech?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) Freddy pitching with some serious smoke and mirrors. It's that high curve which we were told by someone is a great pitch!!!

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 12:22 AM) I'd criticize Joey here, but honestly, I fully expected Crede to hurdle the catcher anyway. I have no problem sending him with 2 outs. Dunn made a good play on that liner....doubt he could do it again.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 12:12 AM) Why am I still not comfortable with a 7 run lead and a guy who pitched 7 shutout innings in the World Championship clinching game 8 months ago. I think you speak for 99 pct of this site. I didn't even think he has good stuff in Game 4.....but he made the big pitches when he had to.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 12:08 AM) I swear to god if Freddy can't hold this lead. Ozzie will give him every chance to go 5 innings.

Kudos to Pods! He's so much better when he swings hard. Keep it going.

QUOTE(Heath @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 12:02 AM) Here's a pitcher you all probably lit up in Kansas City or Minnesota. Congrats on the win tonight. Sheesh. Garcia's on the mound....this game is far from over.

Anderson needs to get one of these runs in. Great job by the offense so far.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:59 PM) http://www.wcpo.com/news/2005/local/04/05/reds_arrest.html ? That's the least of it.

Shouldn't be bunting here.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:55 PM) What was Catfish doing? Hanging out with Jim Rice and Bert Campaneris.

QUOTE(Heath @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:53 PM) The Trib? Oh no.

QUOTE(Heath @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:49 PM) Here comes the Ryan Freel for Jon Garland rumors...... There's a particular industry in Chicago which would love that trade.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:48 PM) Damn that Pods. He shouldn't have listened to Cora. God he's so horrible. I say this respectfully, but that's the type of attitude that a certain someone has on this board, and it pisses people off.

Great to see some production from the bottom of the order in these NL games.

Good job Brian!!

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) Jesus, I hope he's injured and this isn't just the new 87 MPH Freddie. I have no reason to believe he's injured. I wish he was injured, and had to go on the DL though. I used to say there's no way his ERA will end up below 5. I'm beginning to think I should have said 6.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) How does this happened to a 29-year old during one offseason? It's quite suspicious.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) I don't even think Jphat can come up with anything positive to say about Freddy right now. He'll put out the quality start stat, don't worry.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:38 PM) 81 MPH? WTF Freddy. Hawk is really giving it to Freddo this is insane. It was a changeup.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) Its ok though, remember people he has reinvited himself as a control/finesse pitcher! I think the only people that think that's going to work are the same people who think someone like Pods is awesome.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) Get in the stands with a glove? Ohhh, sorry - I thought you said "how can anyone defend FOR Freddy Garcia?" Well done

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 11:34 PM) Unfortunately its not limited to the first anymore. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I often wonder how he ever gets anyone out.

Garcia is so f***ing terrible. He can't go on the DL soon enough. Where's the dumbasses arguing how many quality starts he has, etc.
