[Ironman92]

Leake will be 26 minutes between pitches.

The Houston Astros are the perfect cure for an ailing pythag.

Brett Wallace looks like he is not a fun person. Just a stick in the mud personality.

[RedlegJake]

Man I am getting old....Leake looks about 16 but this Dominguez guy looks about 14...older I get the younger these players look

[Kc61]

Cards up four now on Rockies. Pads up 5-2 over Pirates in the eighth.

Yay, fathers.
Boo, Rox.

He would probably want to fight me because I would impulsively want to tease him about his silly looking hair. I can't help it. I have that pick on ya type of personality but I can take it too. He looks like he wouldn't take it it well. And I'd have to find out.

Jim Kelch is going for the single game record for errors in broadcasting. He's 3 away.

And also they improve on their hitting with RISP with two out, in which they are tenth in the league, and hitting with men on base with two out, in which they are twelfth.

Since hitting with RISP includes those at bats with RISP and 2 outs, the latter stat isn't particularly meaningful. I assume that their hitting with RISP and either 0 or 1 outs is even better.

2nd in runs scored in the NL, tied for 4th in OPS, shows they are getting it done, generally, when it matters.

Cards batting around this inning. They rock the Rocks.

This also means when we complain about the low scoring games it is happening across the league to all teams or else the Reds wouldn't be near the top of the league in OPS in both those categories. Pitching is dominating the game right now - it's not just our team struggling to score at times.

The LAstros: the gift that just keeps on giving.

If Axford could get traded mid-game to the Astros I don't think I could contain myself.

Hitting with two outs is only important when you need runs with two outs.

_Sir_Charles_ should sneak down to the seats behind the plate and get some airtime.

Yup. Now 7-0; that game would appear to be largely over.

It's okay though. On balance, a big Reds win and a Bucs loss is a pretty good day. I'm counting on the Nats to do some big damage in St Louis next week. They seem to have awakened finally and maybe could take that series.
