Subject: Reds @ Marlins

The increasingly depleted Reds fought our typical losing battle vs. the split cards, clutch hitting, the bullpen and our defensive saboteurs.  Given the excellent staring pitching the visitors got, with even a tiny bit of luck we might have won 3 of 3 instead of 1 of 3....
 
 
Game 1: CIN starter Kent Mercker caught a rare break when our defensive chokers didn't come out to play until after he left the game for a change.  On the other hand, Mercker caught no break from the home plate umpire (6 free passes) nor his own offense (1 measly run of support) but the unlucky hurler was good enough, by permitting only 2 hits, to leave the game with a 1-0 lead.
 
After Mercker exited, it took Russ Springer just 3 batters in the FLN 7th to forfeit that lead via another free pass which quickly scored on an RBI single.  In the 8th, our final walk of the day was followed by a double to center field.  With a good chance of nailing the runner at the plate, Eric 'e4' Davis picked that time to make a throwing error, and not only was the lead runner safe but the batter circled the bases too.
 
And there goes the ballgame.  Final score: 3-1.  The Cincy offense helped made a hero out of batting practice pitcher Kurt Miller, who saved the best start of his life for this particular day against the Reds.  He scattered 5 hits, walked only 3, and fanned 12 batters.
 
================================================================================
 
Game 2: Despite hitting into timely rally-killing DPs in 3 of the first 5 frames, the Reds built a 3-0 lead for A.J. Sager.  Sager, like Mercker in the opener, tossed 6 shutout innings and then left the premises.  Also like in the opener, Springer came in from the bullpen with his can of gasoline and a lit match.
 
Fortunately not everything went like the opener however, as today we issued only 1 free pass, had a bigger lead to work with, and Springer gave only 1 run back instead of 3 as the Reds eked out a 4-1 win while being held to 4 hits.
 
Hal Morris delivered the big hit in the CIN 3rd with an RBI triple and he later scored during our one and only rally of the entire series.  The Reds tacked on an insurance run in the 8th which was negated when Springer gophered one up to Jeff Conine in the bottom of that frame.  When Manny Ramirez opened the FLN 9th with a two-base hit, Jeff Brantley replaced Springer and recorded his 26th save by retiring the side on a couple of hard-hit liners (that were caught!) and a strikeout.
 
================================================================================
 
Game 3: Another day and another good 6-inning stint for a Cincy starter, another day of non-support from the offense (though outhitting the Fish) and another day where timely sabotage defense and one surgical split card made a big impact on the outcome.
 
Kevin Jarvis didn't wait for the Cincinnati defense to sabotage him, he took care of that himself with a critical 2-out error in the 2nd inning after issuing a free pass.  Charles Johnson then rolled a tiny split chance at a homer and a large chance at a flyout; 3-0, Marlins.
 
With FLN starter Kevin Brown pitching every bit as well as Cy Miller had in the opener, those 3 unearned runs weren't even necessary as it turned out.  The lone earned run which tallied in the 6th would have been sufficient.  Final score: 4-0.  The tables were turned from the middle contest, and it was Florida winning despite being held to only 4 hits.
