Top 2:
Doumit fell behind 0-2 after looking bad on a breaking ball on the previous pitch. Next pitch Homer jams Doumit and he grounds routinely to third base, but the Reds had the shift on so it's an infield single.
Smart play by Votto not to try for the DP there.
I noticed how he's holding his glove lower on D now too.
If he tries for the DP there we would have an answer for our 5th SP problem. Due to Bailey's broken faceOriginally Posted by nate
LaRoche grounded out on a 2-1 changeup.
Hinske gets ahead 3-0, two of which were borderline. Two called strikes. 3-2 now. Strike three called. Great job by Homer to come back and get him. Two outs.
Man, Homer really battled back after that 3-0 count.
has anyone ever found a webcast for these ST games? (They're not on justintv)
Never overlook the obvious
Heh, yeah...Homer hit the deck pretty quickly there.If he tries for the DP there we would have an answer for our 5th SP problem. Due to Bailey's broken face
Vazquez grounds back to Bailey. Scoreless after 1 1/2. Homer looks good so far.
Keep on rollin', Homer
Bottom 2:
EdE lines a single to left and Bruce follows with a line drive single to RF off the lefty Maholm.
Keppinger K's on a pitch at the ankles and six inches outside.
Dickerson K's on a pitch well outside.
