Is Van Benschoten the Pirate's version of Homer Bailey?
(we can hope)
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
The kid is a rookie. The debate's been raging over in ORG about The Trade and how it's a win because of Bray and Thompson. We just got reminded that Thompson has some learning to do. Nothing new, but the jury's still out and the runs keep coming in.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
John Van Benschoten has a 8.72 ERA and 54 BB/53 K ratio in 76.1 career innings. The Reds should crush him.

It looks like it. Well, if Homer Bailey could hit that is.

Probably not tonight. He'll be the Pirate's version of Sandy Koufax.

The Reds crush no one.

Did Koufax usually give up leadoff home runs?
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
I'd like to see Bruce do something special tonight like hit two or three homeruns. :)
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
Reds do a good job of not following up Bruce's HR with anything at all
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
Another leadoff runner on as Thompson hits Wilson in the arm.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/2/08
Geez. Thompson's not fooling anyone. Long fly out and great catch by JB.
