Subject: Opening Day report from Atlanta

On Opening Day 1988, the Reds established that some things never change -- massive LOB 'advantage', massive bottom of the 9th choke attempt -- but we jammed enough offense into one (and only one) monster inning that easily negated our bad habits for a day....
 
 
The Reds opened the 1988 season by sending FOURTEEN men to the plate in the top of the first, of which 3 Braves pitchers retired exactly one.  The final two outs of the frame were recorded on the bases.
 
ATN starter Chuck Finley committed an error on the first batter of the season, eventually walked the bases loaded, balked home a run and Chris Sabo then delivered a 3-run homer in his first major league at bat.  Paul Assenmacher relieved Finley with the score 5-0 and 1 out, and failed to retire a batter (single, single, single, wild pitch) and Barry Larkin greeted new pitcher Bruce Sutter with our second 3-run homer of the inning.
 
The next 4 batters also reached base but 2 of them slid into outs at home and the score was 10-0 after 1 inning.  HAL will undoubtedly make us pay dearly for this outburst almost immediately, but that will wait until tomorrow.
 
He did give us a preview though, with a surgical display off of Norm Charlton's card in the bottom of the 9th that resulted in 4 runs for Atlanta, but despite that and the fact that we turned off the scoring (and ramped up the LOB) after inning #1 the outcome was never in question.  Final score: 12-4.
 
CIN starter Jose Rijo took a no-hitter into the 5th and was lifted after allowing just 1 hit in 5 innings and being a factor at the plate as well.  Charlton was rolling along nicely in his first game ever, until Dr. HAL went for the scalpel and Steve Farr (back from a season in the minors) had to get the last two outs of the day.  Sabo put up a boxscore line of 6 2 3 4 with a double and a home run to lead the Cincy offense.
 
Atlanta's John Smoltz made his debut today too and fared very well, tossing the final three frames without allowing a run.
 
Alan
