Agreed. I don't buy it. But it was interesting to finally hear it.
Cards up 1-0 in the 2nd
Nice job by Bailey to escape the two on, two out jam. 2-1 Reds after 4 1/2.

LOL. Phillips gets the pop out and then teases Joey..."oh, did you want this?" Joey slaps his glove. Say what you will about Brandon, but that guy understands that this is a game and you're supposed to have FUN playing it. :O)

Choo with a big swing at the first pitch there; smacks it foul.
Strike 2 on ball 4
3-1 pitch to Votto wasn't a strike. Umpshow.
Game of inches fellas, game of inches. 2 strike calls that easily could've gone either way. Then a tapper to the plate that stays fair by an inch. Votto out. Tough break there.
It's a testament to how great the Reds pitching has been to have a 73-55 record despite having only three above average hitters on the team.

Left for a bit I come back to hear Kelch say Votto hasn't swung yet in the AB and the Fox Trax thing is up and doesn't have single ball in the zone but it is a 3-2 count. Umpires are so cool.
When does Votto start getting the benefit of the doubt on close strike calls like super stars of the past? Or is that something thats pretty much over with?
