So they'll start to press.
And that plays right into the hands of a guy like Barry Zito, who is happy to spin up awful pitch after awful pitch.
And before you know it, the game is over and they've been shut out over the remainder of the game.

This isn't a mid 2000's Reds team. I don't think there is a single guy in this lineup that is afraid to face Matt Cain at this point. And I don't think there is a single guy that is thinking this game is already over.
