Re: Reds vs Pirates 5/3/09
Note from Fay:
Dusty Baker said he considered moving Rosales up to the second spot. "But somebody hitting down there is important too. You get a chance to drive in a lot of runs with two outs. Let's take it one step at a time. Initially I had him up there today.' --- I'm not even going to touch that... |

Re: Reds vs Pirates 5/3/09
Jeff Karstens is awful. Hopefully the Reds score plenty of runs against him...

I think we'll score off him too, but he does have some skill on the mound.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 5/3/09
Not EVERY pitcher can be "good". 17 times in 23 games this year, the opposing pitcher has a quality start against the Reds. I am sorry, but they have to find a way to score runs off the Jeff Karstens of the world...

Re: Reds vs Pirates 5/3/09
Right. But they need to. This team has to find a stride where they do some damage early. They can't always count on their starters being nails. Starters will have off-days themselves, for the Reds. The offense has to be there to cover those times, on occasion.

Re: Reds vs Pirates 5/3/09
For those of you non-DirecTV folks, are you getting these games on HD? I don't know that one of the last five or six has been on HD for DirecTV users. George made some cryptic apology for "some users" not getting the game in HD last night, but gave no context.
There have been a majority of these in non-HD for me this year, which is weird. I have the baseball package, and can tell you that HD is pretty much the standard for almost every other team... |

But three of those were late (better late than never). Ohlendorf still had a quality start. 17 for 23. |

Re: Reds vs Pirates 5/3/09
For what its worth, there are now only 2 hitters in the Reds lineup who are batting under the Mendoza line. Phillips at .192 and Gonzo at .197.

Taveras flies out to center. 1 out.
