Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08

Fogg gets the other two outs rather easily. Still 2-1 'Stros after 5.

Dickerson, Kepp, Phillips due up in the 6th.

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08

Dickerson works the count full and then watches ball 4. Nice AB there.

Leadoff runner on 1st for Kepp.

Kepp's dribbler to short allows Dickerson to get to 2nd.

1 out with Phillips up.

Good to work him over, then swing at the first pitch on the next ab for a weak grounder.

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08

Phillips dribbles one down to 1st, getting Dickerson to 3rd.

2 down now with Votto at bat.

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08

Votto's hanging tough, fouling off a couple 95 mph fastballs with 2 strikes.

However, the 96 mph heater gets him swinging. 2-1 'Stros in the middle of 6 with Tejada, Berkman and Blum due up.

Oswalt is not the type of pitcher you want to give free strikes to.

He's usually around the plate;the first pitch might be your best chance.

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08

Fogg gives up a walk to Berkman and a single to Pence, but gets out of the inning unscathed.

2-1 Astros after 6. Bruce, EE, and Patterson due up.

Bako grounds out to 2nd.

Oswalt with 90 pitches through 7, Fogg with 101. I imagine Dusty will bring in someone to relieve Fogg.

That someone is Majewski. He'll face Ausmus, Oswalt and Erstad.
