Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

well executed pitch out right there -- nice job by Hanigan and Harang

Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

Harang gets a ground out, a broken bat single by Cruz who was erased on a caught stealing, and then McLouth fouled out to Votto to end the top half of the first inning.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

Dickerson has a legitimately quick bat.

Just another good AB from the kid.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

Another long atbat by Dickerson. He homers on the 9th pitch of the atbat! Wow!

Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

Dickerson has a nine pitch atbat, so what does Keppinger do? Swing at the first pitch and get jammed for an easy out.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

Dickerson works a 9 pitch AB and Keppinger and Phillipps are both swinging on the first pitch. Kepp gets jamed and Phillips hits a grounder to SS which should have been an out.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

Phillips had a good pitch to hit, Kepp didn't.

Dickerson swung at the 4th pitch -- if he hadn't fouled it off, it would have been a four pitch AB.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

So Dickerson hits a mammoth foul ball on an inside fastball up in the zone. So where do they go on a 3-2 pitch? Fastball, in and up. HR. If I am the opposition, I am pounding the outside of the zone from now on with him.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

Dickerson has a very quick bat and a good eye at the plate. It's easy to see why the Reds have always liked his tools.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

Dickerson hasn't been around Dusty as long as Kepp and BP have.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

Dickerson hit eight homeruns in July with Louisville has hit five homeruns in 69 atbats with the Reds. Going back to July he has hit 13 homeruns in his last 198 atbats. Not bad.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 9/2/08
 

Harang gives up back-to-back two out solo homeruns to Brandon Moss and Andy LaRoche.
