Cingrani K's Dobbs on a nasty breaking ball in the dirt! 5 IP, 1 R, 8 K's in his first major league start. I'll take it!
Very promising start for Mr. Cingrani.
Rounding third and heading for home...
Good Job, Mr. Cingrani.
Not a bad line!

It's a shame this organization doesn't have any quality young pitching.
Well I'm impressed. Give him a little more time with that curveball and we could really have something. He must've been a little worn down when he came up last year because that was a big boy fastbal tonight.
decent finish for Cingrani considering most of those baserunners came in the first 3 innings.
Phillies tied it up again
John Maine in to pitch
Don't forget Cingrani threw 45 pitches Sunday, so he was working on three days rest. Very solid start. I think he'll have better control next time out. He threw some very impressive breaking balls in his last couple innings.

So. Let me get this straight. I predicted the Reds hitters should/would start hitting the fastball and should sit on it. Then they did. And because I had a gut feeling that they would, you have a problem with it?
I'll take the 5-1 lead, thank you very much. I really did see it coming. Sorry if that annoys you.
Bit unfair. Kid had to be jittery tonight. He has 8 strikeouts in 5 innings. Don't think we should underrate him too much.
Cingrani has a very slow and deceptive motion which makes his fastball appear quicker than it is. May not be that easy for hitters to adjust to this.
Very impressive start for him, I won't be surprised if Tony is sharper in future outings when he's more relaxed. Great start for him.
