Also, Homer didn't get the win, but how awesome is it to see him go toe to toe with one of the best pitcher's on the planet on the road? What a game. Go get 'em tomorrow boys.

So many, too many games like this in 2013. And yet, the team is playing well. Win the next two and no one will remember this one.

Didn't expect to win this one, but great job by Homer, and shout outs to BP and Jay for delivering against the best pitcher in the league.
I guess I just have to believe Heisey is trying his best to get a knock. I can't believe he would be trying to do much more than make solid contact there. He's just got a bit of an off-balance swing that makes him look like he's swinging for the fences. Not everyone can control the zone like Choo or Votto.

Almost criminal that Homer Bailey has a 5-10 record.

In fairness, though, isn't that they type of guy they'll have to face in a one-game playoff if they're a wildcard team?

I'm just saying, if that's a playoff-type game, and that's the kind of pitcher we can expect to face if the Reds are a wildcard team, they must maximize their opportunities. A guy spinning out of his cleats trying to take Kershaw yard with two outs in the 8th and a runner on second isn't the high-percentage approach. That's all. Shorten the swing. Get that run in, and let's play into the wee hours. Not an unreasonable request.
