Up and away. Top of the zone.

Why? Why can’t they pitch to him. 84 mph near middle of plate and in middle height of the zone.

It was 1-2 to a guy that murders your team.

My mistake, reds start both the 5th and the 6th out with bases loaded and none out, we'll see if they can be any more productive in the 6th!

One run in each of those innings wasn't too good, but with good defense the Reds would be in front by 2-1!

Blandino’s patience is an invitation to 0-2 or 1-2.

Book on him must be throw strikes early, he just waits up there.

Sometimes you have to swing early, if only to keep pitchers honest so they can’t get ahead of you so easily.

As I've mentioned on another thread, I look for some team to go with a 15-man pitching staff and a 2-man bench (a backup C and a utility INF/OF) in the not-too-distant future.

We would have a stud lefty on the bench and better defense if the Reds would not start Winker. lol

This line up is bad defensively.

The thing about always wanting that elusive "lefty PH stud"...if you have a lefty who can mash he's not on the bench, he's starting.

It's basically a mythological creature.

That's an AL team, I presume, so they have 9 hitters in the line-up to start the game and have no need to adjust it except for injury.

Yeah, that's where it will start. Preferably they will have a slugging backup catcher (like Mesoraco, or Victor Martinez or Carlos Santana before they turned to stone) that they can use as the DH or at 1B.

A pitcher or two like Lorenzen, who can swing the bat a little, won't hurt either.
