    Valentin grounds out. A run scores, 5-2 'Stros. 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs. That was ball four there.

    Ede showed his youth on that AB. Hopefully these experiences will pay dividends next season.

    If you dont swing at Lidges pitches theres a good chance they will be balls.

    He did take the first pitch... that one falling for a strike really put him in a bad spot...

    Let's hope the offense wakes up from their little dirt nap. Oh wait, they faced the easy pitcher tonight. They get the good pitcher tomorrow.

    Didn't see the game tonight. Looks like I didn't miss much.
    I thought we could do better against Wandy Rodriguez.

    Stros have our number this season. I believe that is 4-10. Arggghhhhh!

    He throws 1 maybe 2 pitches in the strike zone in an atbat.
    The rest he makes you chase to get your self out.

    Hes a good pitcher, I wish the Reds had someone that good to close for them.

    When do the Stros not have our number? The Reds are totally punked by that team.

    You don't see the Astros, the Braves, or the Cards coming out sluggish on the first game of a new road series like you do these Reds. They do it all the time. It's annoying. This team has been utterly flat-footed and un-hungry for the last five years.

    Completely subjective opinion here from watching bits and pieces of the last 25 games.

    It seems to me that umpires have giving EE rookie balls and strikes calls since he was called up. He continually gets the borderline strikes called against him.

    EdE does his best to not show up the ump, but he does step out and have to re-compose himself.

    My theory is that umps do this to all rookies and eventually, if they keep their mouth shut and show they belong, they start getting better calls.
