Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
Jeez, Wainwright with the best at-bat yet for STL.

Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
Homer went full to pitcher and laid it in there.
Not good pitching there, gave in to the pitcher. Now a threat. |

Bailey threw Wainwright a fastball right down the middle.

Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
I really don't think Homer did anything wrong there. Just a good job by Wainwright.

Jay singles to center on an 0-2 pitch. 1-0 Cards.

Fastball right down the middle to Wainwright, followed by a very hittable 0-2 pitch to Jon Jay.

Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
Other option was walking him. I kinda prefer challenging the pitcher to hit the fastball in that position.

Homer's having problems getting his breaking stuff over.

Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
Bailey looks bad today. And Wainwright looks good.
I don't see a good result for this one.

Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
Hanigan either had his catching mask painted, or he finally has a new one. That old one had a huge paint chip right on the top/front.

Quote:
When the count goes full you make a good pitch. Outside corner. A bit high. You don't lay it down the middle fearing the walk. If you walk him, you walk him. Throwing a fastball right down Broadway on a full count isn't challenging the pitcher. It's capitulating for fear of the walk. And he did it again to Carpenter at 3-2 this inning. |
