Re: 5/12/09 Reds vs D-Backs

Phillips had a meatball to crush on 3-1, yet can only (weakly) foul it off. He then strikes out swinging at a pitch a good 8 inches off the plate away.

Frustrating.

Phillips might go on to have a big night but on paper this isn't one that he'd invite his Grandma to come watch. This is a tough match up for Phillips.

Re: 5/12/09 Reds vs D-Backs

AJ Hinch sounds overmatched as a major league manager.
"Wanted to put a left handed catcher in the 2 hole to give the pitcher a different look"

Huh?

Re: 5/12/09 Reds vs D-Backs

Nasty sequence there by Owings to get Upton....changeup just misses, then slider pretty much unhittable, followed by a low outside fastball to leave him flailing.

Re: 5/12/09 Reds vs D-Backs

Haren looks tough tonight so far - keeping the ball down and hitting his spots on the corners with his fastball.

Re: 5/12/09 Reds vs D-Backs

Hernandez grounds off the glove of Whitesell at 1st. It bounces right to Lopez who throws on to Haren for the out. 2 outs.

Yep. Let's hope Owings is on top of his game tonight because I don't think the Reds offense is going to do a whole lot tonight.

Re: 5/12/09 Reds vs D-Backs

I love Ramon's willingness to take that outside pitch to right, a lot.

Bats just scored 5 in the top of the 9th to go up 7-6
