He's our 2nd leadoff hitter.

Owings needed an easy inning here not a good start as Hill doubled. I think Micah may want to think about a move to the outfield at some point. He's an average pitcher who could be a very good hitter.

Why do the Reds even pitch to Rolen?

Jays batters are drooling over Owings stuff tonight.
Re: 6/23/09: Reds @ Canada--The Return of Votto
Owings is a nibble-itis guy. When the nibbles catch the plate early in the count, life is good. When he gets behind, he's gotta groove em. Flashbacks from starters 1 through 5 in the dark years of 2001-2005
Re: 6/23/09: Reds @ Canada--The Return of Votto
Tough when you're getting grounders but they're just finding holes. Not that Owings has been great, but like Harang Sunday, luck hasn't been on his side either.

Good time for a 2 run dinger Joey.....

Announcers talking about bunching speedy leadoff hitters to get the "flow of the offense going". Somebody needs to tell 'em that the "flow" of the offense is called getting on base, not running fast once you get there.

Just tell them, "You can't steal first," over and over. They understand that kind of talk.

3-0 Toronto Blue Jays going to the bottom of 4.
Re: 6/23/09: Reds @ Canada--The Return of Votto
4-0 after a Barajas dinger. Surprised he could swing after nearly throwing his back out on strike one.
Re: 6/23/09: Reds @ Canada--The Return of Votto
Reds lining up to lose all three of these games. So much for Toronto being the team needing starting pitching. Oh, to have a Brian Tallet.
