    Off to a start much like yesterdays...

    Already 25 pitches for Ramirez. Looks like the bullpen will get plenty of work in today, so hopefully Arroyo can pitch 7 innings tomorrow.

    Ramirez has no out pitch.

    He can't put hitters away when he gets ahead, and good hitters will just foul pitches and foul pitches until Ramirez makes a mistake.

    Right. The Reds big bats are due and today would be a great time to resurrect them

    Methinks Matt Belisle will be racking up quite a pitch count today.

    You're right, and it KILLS him. He has excellent control and can get ahead of batters easily. Give him a nasty pitch that can fool batters and he could be a legitimately solid MLB pitcher. But until then, it's just waiting for him to come back with a fastball.

    Words cannot describe my hatred of this pepsi commercial.

    It's enough to make me buy Coca-Cola stock.

    Oh, no, I just seen the score and the Reds are hitless.

    Freel swings at the first pitch and flies out. I hate when leadoff hitters do that.

    Two of the dumbest atbats I've seen. C'mon now, make the pitcher work. The Astros bullpen sucks, make this guy throw some pitches so that you can get to the bullpen early.
