Subject: Reds @ Giants

If talent had anything to do with deciding the outcome of games in the N.L. West, Cincy would be clinching another pennant right about now.  Instead the Reds are struggling to keep their heads above water as we prepare for a dismal 1993 season when our talent level will be as rock bottom as our luck.
 
This series notwithstanding, you should be able to tell that the Reds are not deliberately trying to lose in order to improve our draft position; a team with as rotten luck as the Reds would be *winning* if they were trying to lose....
 
 
Game 1: Trailing by a run in the 4th, CIN starter Kevin Gross (though not pitching horribly) was lifted for pinch-hitter Ricky Jordan, whose single came during a stretch of 7 straight Cincy batters reaching base.
 
Six runs scored, we shut down the offense, the bullpen choked up a couple of late runs, but Milt Hill tossed 2.1 perfect innings (and still didn't come close to getting his ERA into single digits) for his first win.  Final score: 6-3.  And it was all downhill from there....
 
===============================================
 
Game 2: Tom Browning had a good outing by his lowly standards, but Jeff Brantley's final start of 1992 for the Giants was a gem: 6.2 IP, 2 hits, 0 earned runs.  Two SFN errors helped the Reds to 2 runs in the 7th and we tied it in the 8th, but in typical fashion couldn't deliver the go-ahead run from third with less than 2 outs.  Or with two outs.
 
Speaking of typical, Mike Schooler (whose ERA has rocketed into the stratosphere after a good week when he first arrived) choked up the game-losing hits in the bottom of the 9th seconds after Darrin Jackson missed a good chance at a split card home run.  Reds lose, 4-3.
 
===============================================
 
Game 3: The Reds scored early and often, aided again by poor defense in the San Francisco infield.  But Dr. HAL just couldn't resist zeroing in on Jose Rijo's bad column and Rijo died after allowing 4 runs in 5 IP -- but he didn't blow the lead!
 
So that was left to the bullpen; mission accomplished.  Dwayne Henry and Steve Foster choked up 3 runs, and our leads of 4-1 and 6-3 became just another one-run loss.  Final score: 7-6.
 
===============================================
 
Game 4: Tim Belcher blew most of today's 3-run lead in the 5th, and then the rest of it with 2 outs in the 7th as HAL surgically discovered our two worst fielders and had them cough up 5 bases' worth of undeserved runs.  Unlike the Reds, the Giants took advantage of their opponent's miscues, while the Reds did not take advantage of our surplus of total bases & baserunners.  Something to do with clutch hits, perhaps.  Final score: 5-3. 
 
Alan
