Thompson struggling already. 1-0 Pirates with nobody out.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
I've grown to really hate the Pirates.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
Make that 2-0 with nobody out.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
Maybe one of these days Paul Bako will realize that all major league hitters can hit a fastball? Especially when you call for it all the time? How about mixing in a breaking ball?
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
Thompson's having a Dumatrait-looking start.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
Nady with the Pirates' 4th straight hit to lead off the game. The thing is, with the exception of McLouth who hit the first pitch, Thompson's gotten ahead (usually 0-2) on every single batter.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
Dick Pole's visit to the mound seems to have really helped.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
i didn't think david weathers was starting today;)
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
Thompson doesn't have the regular zip or movement on his fastball tonight. It doesn't help when that's basically the only pitch he's throwing too.
Looks like a long night. It's already 2-0 and maybe more runs to come. Plus the Reds are facing a rookie with an 8.00+ ERA so that's a guaranteed shutout by the Pirates. ;)

Except for when Dumatrait starts against the Reds
So in a few years when Thompson is starting against Cincy, will he shut them out for 6-7 innings, too?

Something like that always comes to my mind when we see the young guys who are having their pitches called from the bench or by the catcher, if a bad night, is it the pitcher or another reason.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
4-0 Pirates before the Reds get to bat. Yuck.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
4-0 Pirates after 1/2 inning.
Thompson doesn't have much tonight. Mixing his pitches up better couldn't hurt though.
