Can you say that again?

[Parfigliano]

It would really help if SWR could card a couple 10 pitch innings

[USAFChief]

Some of you may know I'm, shall we say, getting up there in years.

It's no fun, let me tell you.

I had a good friend pass away recently, with many of his and my friends gathered around. He needed blood, but we didn't know what to give him.

He went out like a champion though. Even as he slipped away, he kept telling us, over and over, to be positive.

What a guy.

Oh i just assumed it was the elimination (or magic) number.

 

Hence my comment.

 

But looks like it is 13? (for Detroit, or less for other teams)

You cannot throw change up 2-2 and breaking ball 3-2 unless you can for sure throw them for strikes.

Uffda.

[Jocko87]

Summary of mound visit.

Don't throw that pitch Alcala did.

[exeoud]

It's hard to win ballgames when 60% of your rotation gives you a mediocre to bad start every time out

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Struck out DeLaCruz twice.....the pitch on the throw down was strike 3.  

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Out at the plate!

Excitement!

[USAFChief]

Interesting way to get that second out. Make it pay off now.

[Patzky]

Zero the hard way.

[Jocko87]

Great play Vazquez and SWR.

Also good umpire work with the kick save on the mask and in position.

[OvertheHill]

[CRF]

SWR won't be in there too much longer, but he battled to get out of that inning. 

[exeoud]

Nice job SWR, but let's not give up hits to the 8 and 9 batters next time

And you've lost four of the last five Ober starts.

Non sequitor much? Sim has been damn good and pitched his way out of trouble.

Reds Daily has to be losing their mind right now.

So dumb question… catchers can no longer block the plate. But it’s ok that SWR did?

He didn't setup blocking it, he does get to field the throw wherever it takes him.

I had the same thought. I expected Cincy to challenge on that basis. Would have been interesting, I think.

[Patzky]

Need some more dawg less Julien

Did kinda feel like that blocking they were calling at second base early in the season though.

Haven't heard much of that in quite a while. For good reason IMO.

[Patzky]

Couldn't even fill up my ice water and the inning is over.

[mrmpls]

Even with Lee struggling - i would rather see him at 2b  Julien cant get out of his own way

[USAFChief]

1-2-3 go down in 7 pitches, including a K.

 

[Parfigliano]

No fair their pitcher only has to throw 12 pitches an inning while ours throws 20.  

[UpstateNewYorker]

Cripes can we take a few pitches.
