Ground out, Strike out, Fly out for Volquez in the 5th.
5 IP, 0 H, 3 BB, 1 HBP, 6 Ks.
80 pitches, 44 strikes. Effectively wild Edinson. Seems safe to say his stuff is good but same as always, his control is iffy.

"He looked like a surfer kid from SoCal," manager Dusty Baker says. "He didn't say much, but you could tell he was cool."
Error by Cozart puts one on, then they wipe the bases clean with a DP.

Volquez at 90 pitches.
Is he done, or do they stretch him out to 100+?
Larish singles for the first hit of the day off of Volquez and Jeff Frazier pops out to end the inning.

90 pitches, 51 strikes. I figure they'll try to push him to 100 pitches this time out?
"He looked like a surfer kid from SoCal," manager Dusty Baker says. "He didn't say much, but you could tell he was cool."
They'll send him out there to go for 100 pitches in the 7th.

Yorman Rodriguez MIA from the start lineup again.... day to day has turned into a little bit more.
Mesoraco up again.
Casper Wells strikes out on 3 straight swinging. 7 ks for Edinson.

Wilkin Ramirez strikes out on 3 straight swinging. Wow. Edinson heating up now.

Edison has thrown 6 straight swinging strikes to start the 7th inning on pitches 91-96.
12 pitches, 10 strikes, 7 swings and misses, 3 swinging strike outs. What a 7th inning!

102 pitches, 61 strikes. It appears he just got better as the game went on today. I know he'll get one more start, but I'd say he's ready, wouldn't you?

Mesoraco singles on a line drive to left.
Put me in the group that say Volquez is ready to take his show to the Reds!
I'd like to wait 5 days first and see what the results are of him having thrown 102 pitches in a game for the first time in who knows how long. Let him make his next start in AAA and see what happens. See if he can go 100+ pitches again.
