Sir Chas, I'm liking the way the Reds are playing this game. Good hitting, aggressive base running.

exactly. They're picking their spots better in terms of baserunning. I've liked that they've been aggressive, but they've just been picking HORRIBLE spots up to today.
Bottom of 3
Pitching: Gilbert De La Vara
Phillips grounds to short
Ward grounds out to Berkman
Francisco grounds out to end the inning.
4-0 Reds after 3

These astros announcers are annoying me with their "analysis" of the Reds pitching.
This is the first time I've even heard these announcers. I see a lot of their TV guys here, but not radio. But I do think they're spot on in regards to it being odd that our highest paid player is a closer on a team that hasn't won in a decade.
It's just sloppy, but I guess what I have come to expect.
Top of 4
Tatum C, Jones 1B, Gomes RF
Pence strikes out looking. K #4 for Aaron
Blum pops out to McDonald
Newhan flies out to DEEP right. Gomes snags it at the wall. 3 up 3 down.
4-0 Reds middle of 4. Nice solid start for Aaron so far. Bailey is supposed to be replacing him today...not sure when though.

Bottom of 4
De La Vara still pitching
Richar out on soft dribbler to third
Tatum walks
Keppinger...I missed it. But since it's a commercial, I'm guessing DP.

Yeah, before today, they were picking times to run when they'd be thrown out. Really you'd think professionals would know better.Originally Posted by _Sir_Charles_
