Previous message                 Next message Message #: 3045 Message from: Alan Boodman Sent: Sep 17, 2001 Subject: Reds @ Cardinals A real heart-attack of a series: the Reds tried in the worst way to give away three games, but only managed to drop one. Cincy made 8 errors in the series (half by Eddie "The Human Error Machine" Leon) to 2 for St. Louis, and the Cards, like all Cincy opponents always do, immediately capitalized to the tune of TEN UNEARNED RUNS in the four games, which has to be a SMILEY record for a series. Game 1: The Reds outhit the Cards 8 to 4, and had Tom Terrific on the mound, so this was an easy victory, right? Wrong. St. Louis won 4-3 thanks to 3 unearned runs, all of which scored on a clutch home run by Joe Torre in the fifth inning, long after the third out was supposed to have been recorded. Cincinnati eventually tied the score off of Steve Carlton, but a leadoff homer by Dick Allen in the eighth (an earned run!) completed the scoring. Carlton uncorked two wild pitches, and Ted Simmons was charged with a passed ball on another occasion, but the Reds could only manage one unearned run from all that generosity. Bobby Tolan provided the offense for the Reds, leading off the game with his first homer of 1970, and collecting 3 hits and scoring 2 runs on the day. Game 2: The Reds batters liked what they saw of St. Louis starter Wade Blasingame. Five consecutive batters reached base to begin the game and four of them managed to score. The Blazer would continue for 5 innings, but allowed 11 hits (all singles). The Reds would tally 15 hits, commit zero errors, and win 7-3, with Jack Billingham getting the victory in his first start of 1970. Against massive odds, all runs for both teams were earned. Pete Rose went 4 for 5 to raise his average to .415. Joe Torre went 2 for 3 with a double, and is now hitting .418. Game 3: Cincy built a 5-1 lead after 7 innings, and Gary Nolan was cruising to what appeared to be an easy victory when the wheels came off the wagon yet again. In the eighth, Tony Cloninger entered the game for the Reds, at which point the St. Louis batters came to life, the Reds "defenders" began throwing the ball away (2 more errors; 2 more unearned runs), and Clay Carroll had to rush to the scene and get Joe Torre to hit into an inning-ending DP, or the Cards would undoubtedly still be batting. The Reds held on to win 5-4, and (defense aside) it wouldn't have been that close if Cincy could have bought a clutch hit somewhere (10 LOB to 5 for St. Louis). Game 4: A really ugly one and another near-catastrophe for the Reds. Jim McGlothlin opposed Bob Gibson and both starters were brutal. St. Louis was up 5-1 after 3, and then Gibson went to pieces (Gibson has had several bad games against Cincy over the years; he's the only big-name pitcher whose luck is worse than ours, apparently). Gibson began the Reds fourth by nailing Bobby Tolan with a fastball. Four batters later, Pete Rose's grand slam tied the game. Gibby left after the fourth, trailing 6-5, and Cincinnati abused reliever Nellie Briles for 4 more runs on the way to a 10-5 lead in the eighth. Game over, eh? Of course, it's never THAT easy. The Reds used 4 pitchers and committed 2 errors in St. Louis' 3-run eighth. The final score was 10-8, or rather 10-3 if only earned runs are counted. Alan
