Re: 5/27/12 Rockies at Reds
 

Seems like this is a big game. Consider, the Reds lose and they go 5-2 on the homestand. If you told me that, and I didn't know better, I would assume they split with the Braves and swept the Rockies - about what I would expect them to do.

6-1 would be a very impressive homestand.

Re: 5/27/12 Rockies at Reds
 

Dopn't look know but if the Reds had Heisey in for Stubbs, the entire lineup would have OPS over .700.

Regression occurs over a larger sample size.

Ludwick finally has his OPS at .705 and, for example, a HR in his first AB would increase it to .750.

Arroyo and his mini-me (Leake) playing catch in front an appreciative crowd...Attachment 6118

Why is Heisey not playing?

Re: 5/27/12 Rockies at Reds
 

Another lefty. Predicting big days for Stubbs, Frazier, Cozart, Hanigan and Ludwick. Phillips needs to come around against LHP. I suspect the Reds will score a lot of runs today. Hope I didn't jinx them.

Re: 5/27/12 Rockies at Reds
 

To me it seems they struggle against soft-tossers. And Moyer is the King of that.

Votto! :jump:

Re: 5/27/12 Rockies at Reds
 

Soft tossing RH, I agree. They can't hit the RH breaking ball. Votto goes yard.

Re: 5/27/12 Rockies at Reds
 

BANG.

Re: 5/27/12 Rockies at Reds
 

1-0 Reds after 1 full.
