What is up with these patient Reds??? Nice walk by Ross.

Good, take the walk. Get em to throw three more pitches in an already taxing inning. Get the pitcher out of the way for the next.

Reds batters are making this kid throw a lot of pitches in the first. A good inning in which they are showing a lot of patience.
Meanwhile, Thom actually asks Leo about his rocking in the dugout - Leo, being very good natured about it, says it is a nerves thing (I think...was half listening)
Fogg grounds out but a 41 pitch first inning for Jurrjens.
At least Fogg put the ball in play and worked him for 5 pitches. 41 pitches for Jair after 1 inning. That can only be a good thing for the Reds.
2 run homer for Norton
Unbelievable. Greg freaking Norton homerun. 3-2.
why do we have to pitch this guy when we have other options!
