Re: Break Out the Brooms! Reds @ Astros Game Thread (No Oswalt) B9 Reds 3-3
Astros have a bunch of righties and Narron brings in Mercker. I guess WHite, Yan and Germano are for mopup

Why in the hell do you bring in a LHP to face 3 straight righties?
Re: Break Out the Brooms! Reds @ Astros Game Thread (No Oswalt) B9 Reds 3-3
Wow why do you think Mercker is so bad, he's a solid pitcher.
1 out.

Today...so far, so good.

Hammond pitched a perfect inning.
Re: Break Out the Brooms! Reds @ Astros Game Thread (No Oswalt) B9 Reds 3-3
Absolutely right WV, I just remember what we've seen his last 3 outings and its disheartening.

I know. I just fear the return to the earlier Hammond. It's coming.

His change is real tough on right handers.
