I'm inclined to agree. Gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em, and Bronson's just gonna allow more baserunners and runs if kept it.

Doesn't have much command but he is battling. Loving the 2012 Arroyo so far.

After that inning, so would I. It will only get worse from here.

But at 80 pitches, he goes back out. Dusty's rules.

Rolen up, Arroyo's spot could come up this inning.

If so, I hit for Bronson. No question.

Rolen is really making a strong case for retirement.

Time to give Zito a bit of credit here guys. He's pitching VERY well. Irritating, for certain. But he's still pitching good.

Yes. Just like Jake Westbrook. Ricky Nolasco. Mark the Cubs lefty. Kyle Lohse multiple times. Jaimie Garcia.

They have all pitched well against the Reds.

1st pitch out from Stubbs. So frustrating.
