    Why are they not just hammering that guy with fastballs?

    walked a guy that is almost unwalkable ... with the bases loaded.

    this team absolutely sucks all of the suck.

    Good lord, Hoffman stinks. Hopefully Vlad works out and can take his place.

    It appears the Reds believe in the theory of the beatings will continue until morale improves - with Hoffman as the proof

    Brantley says you can be the greatest pitching coach in the world, but if the pitcher won't throw it over the plate, you can't help him!

    Hoffman finally throws a pitch in the strike zone and gets a quick out.

    I'm surprised that Ross didn't retire during that 2 year time span known as the bottom of the 1st.

    so you don't hit into a dp, for one reason.

    Besides strikeouts, seems like Suarez should also challenge for most LOB in a season.

    I understand why you bunt even with an out, to move them up and avoid the DP. I just don't think it makes sense with an almost automatic out coming up. To me it would seem having two bad hitters swing is better odds than having one bad hitter swing, even with the DP chance.

    Geno hits a home run and it masks how awful he is the other 95% of the time that he comes to the plate.

    I can't disagree, when it comes to Suarez.

    .149 batting leadoff... Even Hoffman has him beat at .167.

    Find someone who loves you the way Hoffman loves throwing outside the strike zone.
