    7/23/2017 - Reds vs. Marlins: Can the Reds avoid the sweep?

    Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)

    Dee Gordon havoc again.

    Romano strikes out Yelich with Gordon on third and one out, now just gotta get Bour out.

    Sal wins the battle against Bour, getting him swinging a nice low slider. Good job to prevent Gordon from scoring.

    Watching Votto slump is like watching a lion nurse a broken paw.

    What should Mr Williams do about that?

    We got a line out from Hamilton, a grounder by 3rd for single by Cozart, K looking for Votto, bloop single by Cozart and then lineout to SS by Gennet.

    He should have traded for Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout, and Corey Kluber.

    I don't actually believe it but saying "Ichiro is the real hit king" seems like a perfect way to troll people in Cincinnati lol

    Bleh Romano almost gets the double play he needed but just not enough time. Sal's already thrown 40 pitches and the 2nd isn't over yet.


    Sal strikes out the pitcher Koehler for his third strikeout to end the inning. Still no runs but it's taken him 43 pitches to get through 2 innings.

    Thom decides to start whispering when talking about Pujols' stats for some reasons.

    Romano looks good so far but like Welsh and Thom were saying, having a change up would help especially trying to get fatter then just 5 innings as these young staters have had a problem doing.

    Like Doug said a change up is hard to learn but these Reds pitchers seem to be adverse to learning it or its talking them a long time to do it.
