Re: 8/21/2012 Reds at Phillies
These next two at bats may just be the biggest of the game.

Re: 8/21/2012 Reds at Phillies
Howard with a long single off the wall. Rollins scores, Utley to third.
1-0 Philadelphia 1st and 3rd again, 1 out.

Re: 8/21/2012 Reds at Phillies
Ryan Howard wondering if Reds pitchers can throw batting practice to him tomorrow.

We need to get the hell out of Philadelphia.

Mayberry K's
p.s. Ludwick gave a foul ball away to Phillies fans. Half expect them to throw it at his head when he turns around and knock him out.

Re: 8/21/2012 Reds at Phillies
Brown K's looking on 3-2.
1-0 Phillies after 1.

Re: 8/21/2012 Reds at Phillies
25 pitches, but a really, really good job of pitching smartly to Mayberry and Brown.

Re: 8/21/2012 Reds at Phillies
Homer settled down nicely there. Has to avoid making it too good to Utley and Howard, those guys can really do damage.
Got lucky that Howard's shot stayed in the park and got a favorable call on that last strikeout. Only one run, still a ballgame. |

Re: 8/21/2012 Reds at Phillies
That called third strike was just in the zone, if it was at all. Looked pretty low to me, but Homer needed that one.

I can't wait to read the Leake vs. Bailey thread later.
