    Brewers may have less obp on the top two spots than Cincinnati, with Weeks, Hart, and Braun.

    Too, what happened to the whole Kendall hitting ninth thing?

    Wily Taveras makes an out to lead the game off -- I'm *shocked*

    Gotta be more patient against this guy.

    Quick 1-2-3 inning by Gallardo. The Reds need to be patient and make Gallardo throw some pitches. The Brewers bullpen is nothing special.

    Exactly 8 pitches, Edinson will have that many in the 1st 2 batters.

    Crappy pitch calling there. Volquez had Weeks 0-2 and he threw two straight curveballs, which is Volquez's third best pitch. Weeks singled of course. Don't get cute. Throw your fastball or changeup there.

    This is going to be a loooong game.

    Now Volquez does the impossible: walks Corey Hart. Sheesh.

    They need to stop getting cute. Throw the changeup/fastball and just use the curve sparingly as a show me pitch.

    Really, I don't think Edinson could've made that play even if he'd hustled, given the way he falls off the mound on his delivery. I think you just have to credit Fielder for really busting it down the line.
