Bronson at 80 pitches. We're gonna see some Simon tonight.
Yessirree!
6-4-3 DP. 3-0 Braves mid 4th
DP ends the inning. Reds need to hit the baseball.
And another nice job getting out of trouble, but now we need to avoid more trouble and get some runs.
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
I mean kind of I guess, although I think you're going a little out of the way to make it a personal thing.
I just think that when you're trying to give away an out, it's almost always going to result in that happening. At least with the pitcher hitting, there's at least a chance of successfully advancing the runner and having more than one chance to drive him in.
He's a solid hitter, a solid defender, heady baserunner....just a very solid ball player. Probably never an all-star...but rock solid. Before we had the Frazier/Francisco thing settled...he's a guy I thought the Reds should've gone after. It was pretty obvious that the Astros were selling off everybody. He hadn't really broken out yet as it were, but if you watched him day in and day out you could see it. I'll be shocked if Francisco ever pushes him out of the starters role.
Reds' 2-3-4 are due up, with two righties. Good time to scratch one across.
