After two innings, Reds 0, Rockies 0.
Volquez at 31 pitches, 18 strikes.
Pomeranz 28 pitches, 18 strikes.
Renteria hits into a 6-3 doubleplay to end the 3rd.
Drew Stubbs, who had just walked, made absolutely no attempt to try to break up the doubleplay, he just jogged out of the baseline to avoid the throw. Saw a similar play by the Reds yesterday, I think it was Votto. When did it become OK to stop playing baseball hard? Why is Dusty allowing this, and why does the team culture allow this? Would this happen if there was a stat for breaking up doubleplays?
After three innings, Reds 0, Rockies 0.
Volquez at 51 pitches, 29 strikes, with 0 hits, 3 Ks and 3 BBs.
Pomeranz 42 pitches, 23 strikes, with 1 hit, 1 K, and 2 BBs.
Hell of a play by Frazier.
After four innings, Reds 0, Rockies 1.
Volquez at 70 pitches, 41 strikes, with 2 hits, 3 Ks and 3 BBs. (Wigginton HR).
Pomeranz 51 pitches, 29 strikes, with 1 hit, 2 K, and 2 BBs.
After five innings, Rockies 2, Reds 0.
Volquez at 99 pitches, 56 strikes, with 4 hits, 3 Ks and 4 BBs.
Pomeranz 63 pitches, 36 strikes, with 2 hits (both Valaika), 2 K, and 2 BBs.
Drew Pomeranz's MLB debut is done. He was replaced with a pinch hitter in the bottom of the 5th. He had his appendix out in August, and only had one outing, for three innings in AA, since then. The Reds made him look very good.
Volquez has been his usual self. Decent stuff, but not good control. Very pitch ineffcient. It just shouldn't take 100 pitches to get through 5 innings.
What happened to Valaika ?
After six innings, Rockies 2, Reds 0.
Ondrusek at 7 pitches, 6 strikes.
Hamel in for the Rockies, 11 pitches, 8 strikes.
Ondrusek in for Volquez. Volquez threw 99 pitches, gave up 4 hits, 3 Ks and 4 BBs, and 2 earned runs.
Hernandez hitting just over .200 since the All-Star break.
That hit Hernandez right in the catchers mitt. Passed Ball.
