I don't see a good result for this one.
Wow - first spot of trouble after two very good innings to start and suddenly the Reds are doomed with Homer pitching.

Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
So many ground balls finding holes this inning. That's two weakly hit balls and one hit hard the last three batters.

Bad luck at play here.

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.
I agree about Carpenter and other hitters. But Wainwright had a good eye. And he's still 'just' a pitcher. Make him hit it.


I just don't subscribe to the theory you seem to have that every hit given up by a Reds pitcher shouldn't have happened.

While that's true, he's also not fooling anyone with his pitches.

Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
Let's look at what has happened this inning: a really hard hit double, followed by 4 ground balls that found their way through.

I call'em like I see'em. Let's see if I continue to be right. Let's hope not.
