Reading comprehension is not just an ability, it's a choice
Zambrano has a higher BA than anyone in our starting lineup. Ugh.
Bruce down to .265. This may not be a pretty night for the boys in Red.

Bruce's struggles continues as he K's swinging on a high 3-2 pitch. Should have been ball four.
Increased exposure to Brook Jacoby has not helped Bruce.
Bruce looks downright awful lately.
I hope Baker isn't telling him to "stay aggressive," cuz Bruce is swinging at a ton of bad balls.

Did they bring Bruce up to soon ?
In the first six posts we have blame for the hitting coach and manager because a 21 year old is having trouble adjusting the major leagues. Going to be a long night.
I don't think so. He needs the experience at this level.

Absolutely not. He's got nothing left to prove in the minors. He's just going through typical rookie struggles.
I count two. Not sure where you got six.
Was Kepp running in slow motion or is Soto that good?

Griffey refuses to take a walk.
Bruce is fouling off pitches he was hitting a few weeks ago. I'm not impressed with Jacoby in general and couldn't resist taking a shot at him.
J. Bruce struck out swinging
J. Keppinger safe at first on third baseman A. Ramirez's fielding error
K. Griffey Jr. struck out swinging, J. Keppinger caught stealing, catcher to shortstop
