Re: 9/12/17 Reds @ Redbirds
Damn. 3-2 pitch with 2 outs... Molina two run double. 2-1 Cardinals.
Re: 9/12/17 Reds @ Redbirds
Strikeout #2 to end the inning but a batter too late. 26 pitch inning for Bob.
Re: 9/12/17 Reds @ Redbirds
Duvall with a 2 out dunker to LF but Turner grounds weakly to 2nd.
Re: 9/12/17 Reds @ Redbirds
Didn't like that pitch to Molina in the first inning.
First base open, clutch hitter up, full count, can't throw one over the plate like that.
Throw it off the plate, if he walks, so be it.
Cannot let the fear of walks control your pitching.
Re: 9/12/17 Reds @ Redbirds
Adam Duvall and Randal Grichuk are pretty similar offensively.
Re: 9/12/17 Reds @ Redbirds
Second walk for Bob, again to Carpenter. Pham up in a big spot.

I hate the Cardinals

Walk didn't work out great here. Pham 2 run double. 4-1 Cards.
Chris wondering where Pham came from, that's so two years ago. Now it's "Where did Jose Martinez come from?"
Re: 9/12/17 Reds @ Redbirds
It's a good thing the Reds have 15 pitchers available in the bullpen.
Re: 9/12/17 Reds @ Redbirds
It's looking like BobSteve still isn't ready.
Re: 9/12/17 Reds @ Redbirds
Beatdown is on. DeJong doubles. 5-1 Cardinals.
Re: 9/12/17 Reds @ Redbirds
Bob not looking too good tonight. Price should have pulled him after one while he still had his confidence high.

I'm not totally discouraged, he still visibly looks better than he did earlier in the year, but it's disappointing given his recent run.
Chacin warming up as Bob gets strikeout #4 to end another long inning.

If you're afraid to walk a hitter like Molina or Carpenter in a clutch spot, you're done as a pitcher. However it works out in a particular case. Cannot fear walking hitters.

It's disappointing but every pitcher is going to struggle especially when they are young. Remember, it seems like he's been around forever but it's really only been a year in the Show. Now if he starts getting shelled from now on, I'd be worried.
