Braun grounds out to Phillips. 3 outs.
Handled him that time. Gotta give him credit now, he looks to be settling down.
Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!

Heisey flys out to center. 1 out
Seriously though, what are most people's opinions on Brantly, outside of the multiple food references and general corniness? Seems like he offers up pretty good insight into the mechanics of the game, ie telling us the Cueto is pulling off towards 1st and that is when his fastball gets high and flat a couple of starts ago, and telling us when its better. He mentioned something about something he saw wrong w/ a particular batter the other day, perhaps Votto.
I'm not savy enough to know how accurate these observations are, but rather than just saying that a player is struggling, he's often able to point to a specific issue w/ the player at the time that is different than his normal self.
Phillips grounds out. 2 outs
He nailed Gomes' HR last night before it happened...thought it was solid analysis.
Votto singles to center
single to right for Gommes, Votto at 3rd
