    1-2-3 go the Reds after Brandon flies out to right center.

    This just means that there a lot of great fielding CF'ers in the league right now, and a lot of crappy fielding 1B.

    According to UZR, Joey has been 3 runs better than the average 1B, while Choo has been 17 runs worse than the average CF'er. It doesn't mean that Votto has been 20 runs better defensively than Choo.

    This is why adding UZR to WAR is flawed.

    Not that Pittsburgh's bullpen is a weakness, but the good news is Burnett is around 80 pitches after 5 innings...

    It looked early like they would get Burnett out fairly early but he's now on pace to get through 7 innings, unfortunately.

    Why is that a flaw? Positions aren't created equal, so a player's value should be compared to their own positions.

    WAR does adjust for positions in the formula though. So the average baselines are taken into account.

    Ugh. This byplay is nauseating.

    I thought Grande retired. I didn't realize that he was the second coming of Favre.

    Carpenter gets his 54th dbl to pass Musial for most by LHB'er but is stranded. Still 2-1

    Dang. 2 out walk to the pitcher. Homer's kicking himself on that one.

    He'll say yes for everyone. I don't think I've ever heard him say that someone doesn't deserve to be.

    I didn't get the 2-2 offspeed pitch. With the pitcher up and no one on base, just go after him with the old No. 1 and make him hit it.

    Marty saying the umps have warnings for both benches not only tonight and tomorrow but also in place for next weekend.

    Seems a bit much.
