TERRIBLE umping.
First pitch on Kepp and EE were called strikes. Clearly they were inside, GameDay affirms this. Ump must have a hot date.

Arroyo will get another 'no decision' tonight.
I know several of you don't like the 'quality start' stat, but compared to 'wins', I think it is superior. Arroyo gets a "QS" for tonight, but no win.

Speaking of quality starts... the REDS have won 5 of the last 6 games with a QS. The loss was the last time before tonight they had a QS (Wed. @ Cubs, Shearn... Majewski gets the loss in the inning when Junior got hurt).
Scary thing (as usual) is the bullpen has a 6.14 ERA in September.
Aurilia doubles. 2nd and 3rd. Bray simply gets too many pitches up.

Well, bases loaded with Visquel batting and Majik pitching...

Bray gone. Pitching change coming. Bases loaded after the IBB. Giants AAAA club looks to score a Run before the Reds AAAA club can plate one.

Majic to do his Magic.

Is this the curse of the trade?
Bray followed by Majewski?
Give me strength...
Majewski gets Omar to hit a 200-mph linedrive right at Keppinger. 2 outs.
And now we hear that Krivsky is expecting Bill and Gary to be the leaders of the bullpen "for years to come." That's scary, Chip.
Hittable pitchers in tense situations. Recipe for disaster...
Majewski gives up a hot liner to SS. Two down. Majewski just can't finish hitters.

Good lord... a 2-run single on an 0-2 count. :thumbdown
