Re: 8/11/12 - Reds at Cubs
Valdez swings at the first pitch, right to first for the third out.

Re: 8/11/12 - Reds at Cubs
Wood faced four Reds in the second, on five pitches....

Re: 8/11/12 - Reds at Cubs
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
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
