I hate to admit this, because Aaron is one of my favorites (if not total favorite) Reds - but he has been simply terrible this year. It has become brutal watching him.
The second homer was a complete, wrapped gift.

I'm just glad to see Harang pitching again. I'm confident he'll return to the normal Aaron Harang next season.
Bruce begins the bottom of the second with a line drive single.
I think he will return to his old form next year, too, OBM. At least I hope so. I keep hoping that this season is a combination of bad luck, bad fielding, bad hitting, slight injury and a bit of a slide in confidence thanks to "all of the above".
Bruce singled, Hanigan struckout but Bruce stole 2nd and went to 3rd on a throwing error and scored on a Patterson single. 2-2.

Harang walks Ian Snell to begin the 3rd inning. Nice.
Harang doesn't have it tonight. A walk to Snell followed by a Nyjer freaking Morgan double.
Hope Masset's available.
3-2 Pirates after 2 1/2.
Keppinger pops out on ball 4 to begin the 3rd.
Great plate discipline this inning. Keppinger swings at a high 3-1 pitch and pops out and then Phillips swings at a 1-1 pitch that bounced in the dirt and was a foot outside.
Votto flies out to the 404 mark in center field. That ball looked good off the bat.
That was after Dickerson chased ball 3 and 4.......so basically they are playing into this guy's hands. He is wild ...as 78 walks in less than what? 150 innings? shows.
Terrible hitting team....probably worse than Reds.....so this team continues to be unable to get in any roll at all.
Juan Castro could do no worse than what JK has done in the last month.
I think if you look up his stats with BAL.....I may not be taking such a wild guess.
Can we please score a few runs for Harang?
Dickerson draws a four pitch walk to begin the 5th inning.
Wow. Spectacular catch by Patterson to rob a homer!
