Nice disaster aversion.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Great recovery by Cingrani.
Inducing a double-play by Kemp is a Veteran move.
We've got a legitimate chance to win this thing now. Cingrani should get through the second inning easily, and get a couple of outs before facing their best hitters in the third inning,...getting through that one, too, without giving up a run.
Now, let's get a lead.

Three ground-outs by the REDS to go 1-2-3 themselves in the first, after the Dodgers get two hits.
...Cingrani pitching carefully to Van Slyke, as he should...and he gives up the HR.

Next three guys up for the Dodgers batting, .143, .111, .130.

Forget the slider and change. Price doing the Latos Rehab...100 fastballs in a row and letting the chips fall.

Cingrani facing a AAA lineup outside of a few players. He needs to be in the BP ASAP, not getting it done. He has one pitch.

Van Slyke's the only one who has hit the ball hard off Cingrani so far.

Cingrani only had one pitch last year and did just fine. I think it is more more an issue of location than it is what exact pitch he is throwing.
I'll take the over on the "on pace to hit eight this season".
