Interesting choice... So Valentine for the 7th, Wagner 8th, and Graves 9th. Who PHs leading off the bottom of the inning?
Joes visualizations whilst he pitches involves 3 milk bottles, a toothless carny and the smell of Kettle corn and cotton candy.Originally Posted by OnBaseMachine
Lane flies out, 1 out.
For those of us that are 8+ hours away from Houston and the game is still blacked out, you really ought to see Valentine's pic on MLB's gamecast....scary
Joe needs a quick inning.
If it's quick, that means he's throwing strikes.
If he's throwing strikes, the other team will probably be missing them.
I like power arms.

I think the problem with Aaron Harnag is that he gets obsessed with "nibbling" at the corners or trying to make a perfect pitch and he has a tendency to fall behind hitters that he should be putting away.Originally Posted by FeartheEars
Case in point, earlier in the game when he had a couple batters down 0-2 and let them battle back to 3-2. It runs his pitch coutn high and limits him to, effectively, being a 5-6IP pitcher.
If Harang wants to really take it up the next level, he needs to work on retiring batters in fewer pitches.
Having said that, I'll take a quality start ANY day of the week.

Or maybe he's setting up the DP? :
Harang's biggest problems are mistake pitches and not putting hitters away.
Great! When is Mercker coming in?
Scott doubles... 5-4 game.
Lane: called strike, strike 2, ball, flyout to Dunn, 1 out.
Scott: ball, strike 1, ball 2, ball 3, ball 4.
Chavez: foul, ball, RBI double.
The Reds pitchers can make the worst hitters in baseball look good.
Palmeiro pinch hits for Springer. Mercker replaces Valentine.
