Hatte with a good AB working himself a full count before taking a walk down to first. Reds' first baserunner
Nice AB by Hatte.
Not so good atbat by Bako. Three pitch K.
Hatteberg works a leadoff walk. Bako quickly falls behind 0-2.
Bako K's looking on a curveball that drops right in the bottom of the zone.
Harang bunts Hatte over to 2nd. 2 outs.
Bako called out on strikes on a third pitch that looked like it could have gone either way. Harang first-pitch bunts Hatteberg to second.
Patterson up with a chance to tie it. Maybe. Hatteberg is slow.
Reds getting shutout through 3.
Patterson rolls one to Weeks to end the inning. Still 1-0 Brewers going to bottom 3
Corey grounds to Weeks at second.
1-0 after 2.5.
Villanueva still hasn't cracked 90 mph yet. Harang has- twice. I still think the gun's a little slow, but maybe it's the cold and rainy weather.
Up steps Weeks to lead off the third. Rickie hacks at a first-pitch 87-mph fastball and flies out to center.
Rickie Weeks leads off and tags the ball, but Patterson makes the catch at the wall. 1 out.
Patterson has apparently made two nice catches this inning, according to Brantley.
The Lost Decade Average Season: 74-88

Gross rips the ball as well and Patterson tracks it down. This guy is playing GREAT defense out there
2 down
OBM, you are quick to point out the continual 0-2 'gifts' that seem to be given by Reds pitchers. Guys like Harang have too good of stuff to be leaving 0-2 in a sweet spot for the opposition.
Perhaps it's just perception, but it would be interesting to drill down the 0-2 results for Reds pitchers.
