Question for FR baseball fans

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Do you prefer a 12-10 ball game where each bullpen is used up and the best hitter is something like 7 for 8 ?

Or do you prefer a 2-1 game where the starters are still around in the late innings ?

Me, I LOVE lower scoring games. And I love when a starting pitcher gets 27 outs :)

[SMCC1]

Definitely lower-scoring games. (Also HATE the DH)

The best game I have witnessed in a long time was this week when our hitless wonders, the Padres parlayed one crummy single into a 1-0 victory over the Giants. Superb pitching by Pad Matt Latos and tough luck Giant loser Jonathan Sanchez. Sanchez no hit us last year.

‘Tis the season. ;D

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

My Reds are making your Padres look good. lol

[aliquando]

I was able to enjoy Smoltz, Madddux, and Glavine. Does that answer your question?

[John W]

Love ‘em both. Love all of them.

This chick doesn't dig the long ball, unless it's from a Cub or a member of my fantasy baseball team. There's nothing better than watching two dominant pitchers mow down hitters in a snappy two-hour game.

I have a mancrush on Roy Halladay.’nuff said.

Hey, my Dad’s name was John W. Growing up in Boston in the 20’s and 30’s he was able to see a lot of both kinds of games. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and company could push across lots of runs. On the other hand, Walter Johnson won many one to nothing games. I like em all.

...The score is not important. It’s most about the defense. Long fly balls, hard hit grounders, double plays, even offense stolen bases, slide in doubles. Yea, a good pitcher striking out the biggest hitters. If I had a favorite team, and they came in last, a losing season in the bleachers is better than a good day fishing...

...I love the game...

[element92]

prefer 7 to 12 total runs

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Babe Ruth could pitch too.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

I like lower scoring games in general...but really, I love any kind of baseball...as long as it's played well. Well performed hit & runs, sacrifice hits, hitting the cutoff man, good base running, a long at-bat, etc. are fun to watch under any circumstance.

PS - The Reds need to work on their base running, eh? :o) Dusty looked like he was going to throw up today.

[JoeDonnellymakesmepuke]

I still despise Larry Himes for letting Greg Maddux leave the Cubs after 1992. Himes actually said he could do better than Maddux for cheaper.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

And the Reds need to learn how to pitch

[JoeDonnellymakesmepuke]

The first step should be advising Aaron Harang to find a new career.

[boop]

I like lots of offense, but I also hate the DH. Pitchers SHOULD bat. I love it when they can hit.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

how’s the Great American Ballpark? what are your likes and dislikes? just curious :o) We live between the Padres and the Angels. Half the family likes the Padres, half the Angels (my team). Nobody likes the Dodgers - LOL.

[MediaMole]

100% for a well pitched, low scoring game.

4 1/2 hour high scoring games become tiresome with endless pitching changes, throws to first, antsy kids wanting to go home...
