Re: 8/3/12 - Reds vs. Pirates
That is K #114 this year for Alvarez.
Is Alvarez the Pirates version of Drew Stubbs? Stubbs: .234/.305/.400 for an OPS of .705, with 13 HRs and 23 SBs. (98 Ks) Alvarez: .235/.306/.480 for an OPS of .785 with 21 HRs, and 1 SB. (114 Ks) Stubbs is better on defense, and is faster, while Alvarez has better power. But both have a little 'K problem'.

Re: 8/3/12 - Reds vs. Pirates
Nice AB by Heisey, fouling off a lot of pitches

Re: 8/3/12 - Reds vs. Pirates
Didn't Heisey hit an inside the park home run earlier this year in Pittsburgh? Awesome! Looks like playing him today worked.
Edit: Never mind, he hit it in 2010. Last edited by cincrazy; 08-03-2012 at 07:47 PM. |

Really, really close at home. Heisey gives you an effort.

Re: 8/3/12 - Reds vs. Pirates
Man, want to see that replay again. Think we got a break on the call at the plate. Sure seemed like Barajas blocked the plate perfectly.

Wow re: Heisey. It is not easy to hit an inside the park home run at GAB.
