When the door is what we currently have, he's knocking it down.

When Volquez faces borderline major leaguers, they have no chance.

Re: 6/12/11: Reds @ Giants--Sunday Night Baseball

Every time I see Boston put up a 14, 15 or 16 spot, it cracks me up when some talk aboout Cincy's offense and how they are #1 in runs scored.

The numbers may have been there in order to make that claim earlier this season, but there's no way that they ever had the best offense in baseball. There is a huge gap.

Missed bunt turns out to be a killer.

Did Orel Hershiser just say that gravity pulls on a breaking ball more than a fastball?

The number 5 hitter has a .671 OPS. Number 6 is at .737 and number 7 is at .589 and those are the best offensive options for those defensive spots on the 25 man roster. I get that the pitching needs to get better and its near the bottom, but this offense will not find the number 5 hitter it needs from within.

I've enjoyed his input for the most part, but that gave me a bit of a laugh.

Someone tell Tejada that fourth out was verry impressive.

I'm guessing Orel didn't take too many physics classes at BGSU.

Re: 6/12/11: Reds @ Giants--Sunday Night Baseball

What's with the camera angle from behind home plate? I can't see anything. Is it because of the shadow?

Or look what happens when he faces a terrible offense in a huge park haha. Just hoping the Cubs and Giants get his confidence going.

ESPN has been doing it more and more this year. I hate it.
