Dusty Baker uses: Aura of Jay Bruce
Teammates power' +10
Opposing pitchers' confidence -100
Two walks and both runners score. Amazing how that works out when more than one or two guys are hitting.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Is this the same Gorzelany that shut them down in April?
Good professional approaches to hitting up and down the line-up all of a sudden. Yes, sometimes it does make that much of a difference, moving an offensive horror out of the top of the line-up and moving true talent in.
About as good a first inning so far this season?

Wow. I am loving this.
That huge inning was made possible by Adam Dunn's walk.
There were nothing but good AB's that inning. What a difference it makes to not have Corey starting the game with an out.
Let's hope for an easy outing by Arroyo. It's not often that he's found a 6-0 lead prior to throwing a single pitch as a Red.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
