Valdez swings at the first pitch, right to first for the third out.

Wood faced four Reds in the second, on five pitches....

In fairness, Wood is pounding the zone. That said, they probably should lay off the first pitch.

Re: 8/11/12 - Reds at Cubs

I have no problem swinging at the first pitch, as long as it's a hitter's pitch.

Re: 8/11/12 - Reds at Cubs

DeJesus vs. Arroyo with the bases loaded

DeJesus wins. Single up the middle.

2-0 Cubs

Re: 8/11/12 - Reds at Cubs

Why even throw a strike on 0-2?

Re: 8/11/12 - Reds at Cubs

I've said it here many times but I hate watching Arroyo pitch. 0-2 hits are the norm for him

Re: 8/11/12 - Reds at Cubs

Barney pops up to 2nd.

2-0 Cubs after 2. Reds can't let Wood get into a rhythm. And Arroyo has to stop sucking.

Re: 8/11/12 - Reds at Cubs

Can the reds make Wood throw six pitches this inning?

Re: 8/11/12 - Reds at Cubs

Hanigan goes to a full count, and flies out to right.
Arroyo K's
Cozart K's looking.


2-0 to the bottom of 3
