4.13.13 Reds v. Pirates

[RedsBrick]

Broxton in any inning but the 8th is against the law.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice catch by Bruce. 2 outs. Alvarez to 3rd.

[kaldaniels]

Punk A-- Pirate fan about spoiled that.

Hoover isnt a rubber arm, why is Dusty trying to make him pitch almost every game?? he isnt a Scott Sullivan type yet

[Kc61]

Dusty will deserve some blame when this kid has his arm fall off.

His arm will be fine. This is a confidence move by Dusty.

I really like this move. Hope it works.

Particularly since McGuire is not the Card's hitting coach.

Regardless of what his title is, he plays a significant role working with the hitters. Doesn't change the point I'm trying to make.

It's only two batters. Hoover can do it. The key is for him to pitch well and get on track again.

where was that?

He is the hitting coach for the Dodgers.

Genius

[Gizmo]

Confidence booster right there that was.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ugh. Tabata lines a double to right center. 3-1 Pirates

[Buckeye33]

HOOOOOVER

[WVRedsFan]

Again. When will Dusty learn?

[Mutaman]

at least they have a NEW hitting coach.. we have had the same one since Jerry "I'm a Baseball Guy" Narron..!!! i want a new philosophy and a new set of ears..Look when Edmonds was here.. he helped Bruce big time and Stubbs as well as they both had a short compact swing and driving the ball with authority.. Bruce hit 3 homeruns on 5 pitches.. that was his best swing since he got up to the Reds his first week when he used the entire field. not like he trys to Adam Dunn everything to RF as he does now..Plus why doesnt the coaches wpitch everything outside to Bruce in BP to get them to hit it to beat the shift. things like that..

The fact that the Cardinals have a NEW hitting coach has nothing to do with the Cardinals. Mattingly offered Mcguire a job and McGuire took it to be near his kids on the coast.
