Key is to get 3 outs and get back to hitting.
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
So much for Blanton's ERA improving.
A leadoff walk. Not a good way to start an inning.

Reds get it to 6-5 and Ramirez walks Ruiz on 5 pitches to start the 6th inning.
Nothing is more frustrating than your pitcher giving back all the momentum that your offense just produced. A leadoff walk to the back of the order is just the thing that makes your skin crawl. You have to throw up a 0 here.

Bruntlett K's who pinch hit for Blanton.

Phillips in May: .366 avg, 1.093 OPS, 5 HR and 26 Ribbies (!!) with excellent 2nd base defense. He could very well be the NL's Player of the Month for May.
Baker out to make a double switch. Hairston replaces Rosales and Herrera in to pitch.

Who is coming in to pitch? Phillies tv didn't mention it going to break.

Ramirez gave us quality innings today, yielding a solo shot to Utley. Need Danny to come in here and lock it down and get the bats back out there.

Rollins is only batting .180 from the right side of the plate.

There is no conjecture in the matter of Volquez's health. He is hurt, and that's a fact. You take conjecture somewhat out of the equation by disabling him. You leave conjecture in by keeping him active and operating your pitching staff as if he *may* be back soon. You've got it backwards, tr.Man, that is an awful matter of fact handling for someone working on conjecture.
Geez, lucky hit, then Phillips makes a little league play.
