Previous message                 Next message Message #: 6197 Message from: Alan Boodman Sent: Feb 13, 2003 Subject: Reds @ Cardinals The Reds apparently need a new field boss; once again HAL has done his job quite well, leading the Reds to the best home mark in the division (and league), but the road manager has failed to duplicate that success.  Facing criticism in the Cincinnati press for his inability to win, along with snide suggestions that HAL should run the team for 162 games each season, the manager attempted to deflect blame towards the Reds' front office:   "As the season goes on, a surprise contender like us often needs an emergency infusion of new players in order to stay above water.  So where is our farm system when we need it?", he queried.   I've got nothing to work with here; I needed an All-Star reliever or a top-flight third baseman.  What did I get?  Bill Plummer.  What the hell am I supposed to do with THAT?"  The Cincy GM could not be reached for comment.  Nor could Bill Plummer.   ------------------------------------------------------   Realizing that our season has ended - despite taking the first 3 games of this series - Cincy tried to back off in game 4.  That contest unexpectedly turned into a real donnybrook, and may have established a SMILEY record for players & pitchers used in one game.     Game 1: Cincy scored in 6 innings on the way to an 11-3 rout of Reggie Cleveland and two relievers.  Gary Nolan was sharp until the seventh, and reliever Ed Sprague made his first SMILEY appearance since 1968 to close it out.  Lou Piniella clubbed a homer and amassed 5 RBI as the Reds plated nearly every runner, stranding only 4.   Game 2: Cincy repeatedly hammered Bob Gibson in his weak spot (the 4 column), but could manage no more than a 1-1 tie after 6 innings.  Tom Seaver was very effective (7 IP, 3 hits), and the Reds took advantage when Gibby tired in the seventh and allowed 3 runs.  Final score: 6-2.   Game 3: Four late runs made this 10-4 final appear to be a blowout when it wasn't.  Steve Barber, our little-used closer, made his first (and last) start of 1972 a rocky one, and he only lasted as many as 5 innings because his offense got him some support at the right moment.  Jerry Reuss fanned 7 Reds to zero in on the 200 mark for the season.   Game 4: 16 innings, 23 runs, 44 hits, 6 errors, 35 LOB (the Reds abandoned 20 of them), 50 players used including 15 pitchers; Reds win 12-11 on a Piniella double.  Conveniently, the Reds were in good shape for this sort of game - since many of the real starters spent the first half of the game on the bench, they were available for the marathon-to-come.  The Reds were up 9-3 in the fifth, but what would a Cincinnati road series be without at least one massive hemorrhage?  Pedro Bordon did NOT appear on the field at any time; he's not our ONLY choker, you know.   Don Wilson had 4 nice innings of scoreless relief, Ed Sprague had 2 more for the win, and Mac Scarce picked up the save.  Reggie Cleveland went 3 innings, but took the L for the Cards.   Alan
