Why would you not go after him, instead you wanna face Berkman?

Lohse walks Pence on four pitches to get to Berkman. That's probably not a very good idea Kyle.
It's a little different when you're facing Roy Oswalt rather than that kid HOU put out there last night. The Reds made him throw 50-60 pitches in 2 innings last night. You know a guy like Oswalt is going to be around the plate all night. You see a pitch you like, even if it's the forst pitch, and you go after it because you may not ever see that pitch again. Plate patience is a great thing to have. But let's not go overboard on it.

Berkman grounds out to Lohse 3 outs.
Lohse has struggled, that is for sure; but he has came through when he has needed to and kept us in the game. Having said that - with his pitch count over 70, he shouldn't last past the 5th, and with our BP rested.

Here's a completely unrelated bit of information: I just learned that Jason Kendall is the only catcher in MLB history to catch 140+ games eight times.
