Think the Indians' bull pen will be glad to be out of Cincinnati?
Re: 6/13/2012 Reds vs Native Americans Part II
So in Bruce's 4 AB's tonight, he has swung at the first pitch 3 times and made an out each time. In the 4th AB he took 3 balls, swung at the 3-0 and 3-1 before walking. Nice patience

I didn't say he couldn't hit lefties, I said he wasn't hitting lefties.
Didn't your parents teach you the difference between couldn't and wasn't?
Do you even have parents?

Even without considering the benefit of hindshight, I have trouble imagining they couldnt get more than Jeff Stevens for him.

Well he certainly proved your pompous opinions wrong.
He is and can hit lefties.

I live in an area with a lot of Tribe fans, and the ones I know universally curse Eric Wedge every time Brandon Phillips is mentioned.

Ludwick K's to end the frame.
5-2 Reds after 7.

He made contact each time, once on a scorching line drive.
Those aren't bad odds if you believe in BABIP.
Swinging at the first pitch and missing badly is a bad thing. Swinging and putting it in play is not so bad.
Re: 6/13/2012 Reds vs Native Americans Part II
O's tack on 2 more. 7-1 now over the Buccos.

Need to get some space between the Reds and Pirates. They scare me ;)
