3 runs! Ill take it!
The Pirates are a complete mess right now... I wouldn't be surprised at all if this no name rookie shuts them out over 7 innings. The funny thing about baseball is that even the best teams can play like absolute crap over a period of time. They haven't even been competitive over their past 4 games.
Josh Smith gets a K v his first MLB batter.
That was a horrible strike 3 call, but I'm sure Smith will take it. His nerves are visible, hopefully he settles down.
Walks will haunt, Mr. Smith.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

You're already counting this game as them "not being competitive"? One out into the bottom of the first?
In no way are the Pirates a mess right now. They just came off an 8-game winning streak right before their current 3-game losing streak. 8-3 over their last 11 ain't bad, sonny.
Josh, my man. Don't start walking guys on the interstate.
Rounding third and heading for home...
Back-to-back walks.

Smith is really afraid of even throwing anything that's not a foot outside.
Reds killer Walker up.
