Re: Reds vs Braves 5/14

Why swing at that pitch???? I mean I get it if you're down 2 strikes or something, but seriously.

They clobbered him. It didn't show up in the statline and they play in a big park. Not one breaking pitch.......not good.

Baker loves when you swing at the first pitch. He is probably as proud as punch. Why swing at that pitch? Because the manager loves that kind of crap.

Nice first for Homer. Bruce continues to rip.

That's been the MO for Bailey's starts it seems.

Begin the game with 30-40 consecutive fastballs.

Baker's gotta be the perp. I mean, who else would do that?

Re: Reds vs Braves 5/14

Bruce must've worked very hard to improve his plate discipline this winter - he looks much more comfortable with two strikes on 'em

Re: Reds vs Braves 5/14

Strike outs are the same as any other out. And, no, this team does not strike out a lot. Or so some would have you believe.
