this will be the series we remember as when the season began to get away. just dreadful.

Hoffman goes on record saying how patient the D-Back hitters are. Then on the first pitch to every batter nibbles and gets behind in the count. He nibbles because his stuff is not good and he doesn't have a put away pitch.
this freakin idiot umpire isn't helping. is that 3 strikes he's missed this half-inning alone?
horrible defense + horrible umpire + scrub pitcher = this result.
This could be going better.
don't worry, sal romano will be warming up soon.
It's a good thing we're done with the Diamondbacks after today. They probably wish they could relocate to the central and face Reds pitching more than 6 times a season.

Did not predict that the Diamondbacks would be the team to beat up on the Reds this season.
I was just about to ask, if Hoffman gets a comebacker, what's the chance he would make a good throw to 2B to start a DP?
Gifted them 2 runs. That’s the theme of the season when they lose. Big Dp keeps them in it for now at least.

meh, they've been lucky as hell this series. umps stole first game from us. then amir handed them the game last night. reds should have won first 2 games of this series.

after he pumped at first, i was thinking this ball is going into centerfield.
It’s easy to downplay bad defense when putting together an offense (the shift will hide it, etc.) but when you see it in action, it crushes the spirit.
as an aside, do the reds ever do things like what the dbacks are today? wait for a strike on every pitch when facing a pitcher with sub-optimal control?
