One way or the other Reds bullpen is gonna get a workout in this one. Already at 53 pitches
Polanco pops out to 2nd. 2 outs.
Me either. He only throws 91-93 mph on his fastball. And very rarely throws another pitch. And when he does, it doesn't go for a strike.Originally Posted by NeilHamburger
It will be hard to know if he has success because the hitters have never seen him. Or because he hides the ball so well.
Cards up 2-0 on Phillies in the 4th.
Dobbs strikes out swinging. 5 Ks for Cingrani. 0-0 mid 3rd.
That high fastball must really be deceiving. Around the eye level everyone is swinging at it but it's nowhere near a strike if they lay off.
I see great things in baseball. It's our game.
Another K, but his stuff looks more like a good lefty reliever than a starter up to this point. I don't if it's just today, but going forward he's going to need to control something besides his fastball. Especially after teams get a good look at him.
5th strikeout. Hitters are definitely having a hard time picking up his fastball. He's throwing a little more offspeed stuff now, but the hitters aren't really going for it. Hopefully he can start getting ahead of hitters and go 6 innings
I think it's just nerves, his control will be fine, IMO.
I'll say this -- the kid is getting them out when he needs it -- just saying
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
5 Ks through 3, pretty good. 60 pitches through 3, too high.
On the RF falling down on a ball right at him and then a two run double on a ball clearly foul the umps missed. Its comical how many breaks those dudes get, Wainwright hasn't allowed a walk or a HR in 25 innings so far this year.
Mesoraco pops out to 2nd.
Quick minor league update: Drew Cisco has given up two runs through six. However, he has 12 Ks and 0 BBs. Nice. So far in 2013 in 19 innings he has 22 strike outs and walked just one batter.
