Hell yeah!!! Thompson Ks Cabrera to get out of a bases loaded 0 out jam. Nice job, kid, nice job.

Well that was very Reds-like. Reds offense seems to be infecting the Yankees swingers...
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
I can't see the game...what does his stuff look like to anyone watching live.
Great poise there by Thompson. Your first start in Yankee Stadium. Bases loaded no outs and you get out of it.
Wow. He's got major league moxie, that's for sure. Absolutely fantastic pitching to get out of that unscathed.
VERY impressive.
We just may have a starting pitcher.
94 MPH gas right by Melky. I don't know who was more pumped up, Thompson or Dusty.
What a job.

Nice change-up. Bako just seems to have discovered that Thompson can throw it for strikes.
Decent slider.
That was one of the best half innings of Reds baseball I've seen this year. Bags full, Thompson with a big mistake not covering, walking Giambi. Dusty comes out and says something to him. He starts to mix in changeup and curveball more, strikes out Posada. Cano a bit impatient fould out.
Now Thompson's confidence is back and he strikes out Cabrera on three pitches, throwing the fastball by him on the last pitch.
Beautiful.
Fastball is working 92-94, touched 95. Changeup is coming in around 82. Haven't seen any other pitches yet.
The walks aren't great, but he's throwing over 60% strikes, so he's in the zone.
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.
Major league effort there. Dusty was juiced.

Patterson pops out to short. 1 out.
Yeah I have the Gameday open checking the speeds. The Curve came in at 67mph
Damn that was some pitching right there.
Not rookie-like at all.

Bako grounds out to 1st. 2 outs.
