6/5/12 Pirates at Reds

[Virginia Beach Reds]

Lance was brainstorming what GABP can do to make this field play more friendly. Put up netting, plexiglass out in right and left. build a red monster?

Finally inning ends, but the Pirates add a run. 7-2

[RedlegJake]

Seriously, you have to think at some point they quit waiting for Costanza to hit and bring someone else up.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

I heard Mark Kotsay might be a target out in San Diego. Might be worth a shot.

[RedlegJake]

Cozart takes strike 3 and it was a beauty. Don't know what he wanted there.

Then the Reds would never score. It's very rare that a team's OBP is HR driven.

I really think something's wrong with Homer. Maybe he's sick/ill?

Sometimes he doesn't have his slider. When he doesn't, its Katie bar the door. Same thing happened in Milwaukee.

However, part of his maturing process is to figure out how to survive without getting shelled when he doesn't have "stuff." He's proven twice now that he has not figured that out.

Burnett pitching around Stubbs to get to Votto...

[RedlegJake]

Walks Stubbs.

[RedlegJake]

I think Stubbs was on second when Joey hit that ball

[Virginia Beach Reds]

When is Dusty going to drop Cozart from leadoff into a better role around 7? Gotta be soon. Swap him and BP, move up Bruce.

[RedlegJake]

swing and miss, now strike 2. C'mon Joey.

[RedlegJake]

Called out on strikes, moving fastball dropped at the last minute it looked like right into the zone.

Its all about the power alleys, not LF or RF porches. Structurally that's going to be a hard fix. I think the "cheap homer" is overblown. It looks that way because the seats are right on the fence.

Brandon even looks like a leadoff hitter when he is batting cleanup - he just doesn't look like a cleanup hitter. And he strikes out. 8 Ks for Burnett.
