Re: 4-20-2012 Reds vs Cubs

Reds went quietly in the 2nd. Heisey just made a great diving catch for the 1st out for the Cubs.

Cubs also go quietly, on to the 3rd
Reds 4, Cubs nada.

Another Cubs error, Bruce reaches.

Cubs are just bad

Rolen lined out & Bruce was doubled off. Heisey flies out - still 4-0 Reds.

Re: 4-20-2012 Reds vs Cubs

That at bat between Homer and DeJesus symbolizes the frustration with Homer. Homer throws two quality pitches to get ahead 0-2, then tries to blow him away with his 94MPH fastball three times in a row to get a full-count. The decision pitch is a marshmallow down the middle of the plate - base hit to left.

How has Bailey been looking overall? Has he been pitching as well as the stats indicate?

Re: 4-20-2012 Reds vs Cubs

When he is locked in, he looks fine. He's hitting the catchers glove when he tries to pitch and not just throw as hard as he can. When he loses concentration...

And now it's 4-2 as the Cubs capitalize.

I've not been overly impressed. The Cubs are awful and he has still managed to give up 2 runs. I realize Heisey has an error but if the wind isn't blowing in like this that ball lands in the streets.
