has valverde put on a few pounds in the last few years. Looks like he is carrying a baby in there.

He's been hitting the ball very hard. He's been showing a TON of patience at the plate. And he doesn't appear to be looking for the HR but rather just to make contact. IMO that's a VERY good change in approach.Originally Posted by BuckeyeRedleg
When did Valverde become a Latin version of Eric Gagne? They shop at the same eyeglasses store.
In the NL, the Reds offense is....
14th in runs, B/A,
16th in hits, total bases, SLG%
15th in OPS
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
Jay that pitch was only a foot outside ... maybe you ought to take that one next time
Don't be ridiculous.
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
EdE shows nice patience as the natives grow restless.
He's pressing...big time. He's trying to force himself out of his slump. That ain't gonna work.
even CW said that pitch was never close to being a strike
Nix on deck for Agon
I'd pinch hit with Nix here. Hernandez is a doubleplay waiting to happen.
How many outs are their? Who is due up for the Reds?
Come on bro, I was being sarcastic.

Yet Oswalt only pitched 6...and still has a slightly higher era than Cueto
Cueto's a young #4, I'll give him some slack, if the Reds had a 2 run lead maybe he stays in an finishes it out.
I do know that 0 runs won't win you any games, so I'm not sure what all the hub-bub is about.
he lacked plate discipline coming up ... now he has reached the level where talent can't overcome it and the pitchers are good enough to exploit it
