I'm pretty excited to see Ramirez pitch. Rick Sweet says he's got one of the better changeups you will see.

Re: Reds vs Giants 8/30/08
 

I hope he does well, the loyal Reds fans of Redszone deserve some positives from the team.

Randy Winn belts a lead off solo homerun after striking out looking on the previous pitch.

Re: Reds vs Giants 8/30/08
 

After the homer Ramirez gets two ground outs and a strikeout. He's got a very nice changeup, though he hung one to Winn who hammered it. The pitch before the homer looked like strike three. His fastball was around 90-92.
