Holliday is almost as hot as Votto was a month ago. Hitting everything - bet pitches look like softballs to him right now

At this point, I'd just as soon see a reliever. Homer down 3-1 on the count to Beltran.

That is embarrasing a tight 2-2 Reds Cardinals game and the moron fans are doing the wave

I think it goes to show that they might be reasonably close, and the overall production that each provides is arguable. I certainly don't see anything that suggests that Heisey is obviously better.
All of the current/futures grades on Heisey on the 20-80 scale I've ever seen place him between 50-55 on both arm & defense.

That's average to solid-average territory.

My exact thought before that 3-2 pitch.

What does everyone think about the choice of having Homer return for the 8th? I had a feeling this -- or something like it -- would happen.

Just leaving Homer out there too long at this point.

Exactly, he needs to get him out of there.

I think the offense is to blame regardless of what happens here.

Big pitch. Berkman strikes out looking.

Maybe we should always call Berkman "heroism" from now on.
