I jinxed Claussen nicely. :(
The top of the batting order needs to start getting on base again.

Claussen getting smoked by bad hitters.
Jason Lane, Chris Burke, Adam Everett, Brad Ausmus. You got to be kidding me.
(albeit Lane's was a cheap homerun)
Pitchings back to normal for the starters.
Pettitte K's looking. 2 outs.
Lane's a bad hitter? First I heard of it. But yeah, Houston comes to play, 1 through 9. Reds? Less so.Quote:

The Reds breakdown to easily against the Astros. A missed oppourtunity, a bad pitch, they wig out. It is a mental block they need to overcome in the future seasons unless they rebuild over, which hopefully will bring fresh faces and talents that haven't seen them yet.
Aurilia K's. 1 out.
Griffey grounds out. 2 outs.
He may not be a bad hitter, but is certainly not a great hitter. Power is his only tool...and his solid power doesn't make up for that .306 on-base percentage, in my opinion of course.Quote:

Lane and WMP are pretty much the same hitter.Quote:
