We've hit some rockets right at people. Choo a couple, that one by Phillips to center....keep squaring the ball up like that and we'll run the score up eventually.

Another killing to a little rally.
Arroyo: 48 pitches, 3 hits, 0 runs through 4.
Cozart hits a lot of pop ups. Actually mostly he hits ground balls.
So I looked at the highest infield fly percentage in MLB. Infield fly percentage is expressed as a percentage of total fly balls hit by the batter.
Cozart is number 25 among qualified hitters. 25th highest infield fly percentage in MLB, ninth highest in the NL.
Top two guys? BJ Upton with a 31.3% infield fly percentage this year. Josh Willingham with a 30.6% infield fly percentage. Willingham with over 47% fly ball percentage, really high so far. Cozart 14.8% infield fly percentage, highest on Reds.
Cozart has only a 4.1% walk rate and a 12.3% line drive rate. The line drive rate is actually up a bit, it was below 10% earlier on.
I think he'll hit better as the season goes on.

not arguing the % -- just think that the losses should be noted -- he's @ 18th in all time losses and @18th in all time wins -- not exactly as outstanding as simply saying hey - he's 18th in wins or hey -- he's got 1600+ wins
My guess is he'll get in the Hall with those wins but I'm not sure I'd vote for it
=== added --- he did pile up a bunch of those wins with the steroid boys in SF

The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
Votto hits a nice double and looks upset that it wasn't over the wall.
Guy is a pretty good hitter.
Rounding third and heading for home...
Another chance with a runner at 3rd and less than 2 outs.
Three times in five innings the Reds have had a runner on 3rd with only one out and have failed to score each time. This could easily be a 5 or 6-0 game. Why do I have a feeling that will haunt them later in the game?
These stranded runners are gonna come back to haunt us.
