6 up 6 down for Reds hitters
scoreless 3rd from Harang
Brantley suggested earlier that Arron was purposely changing his approach from his deceptively sneaky fastball work to trying to do more change up/offspeed stuff. I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember exactly how he said it.
Likely just Cowboy babble, but if there even an inkling of truth to that idea, it raises some interesting questions.
Harang and Arroyo need to pitch in a different stadium. They give up too many home runs. They are fly ball pitchers throwing in a band box.
9 up and 9 down for Reds hitters
5-0 after 3 innings
Scoreless 4th inning for Harang including 2 Ks
Hairston with a solo home run. Which means the Reds have a run. And a hit.
Scoreless 5th inning for Harang
The Reds need 4 more solo homers to tie it up
Gomes with a pretty good at bat and Latos is just now closing in on 50 pitches.
Gomes whiffs on Latos 50th pitch of the night for the Reds 1st out in the 5th.
5-1 Padres after 5 innings
Latos now up to 62 pitches
Scoreless 6th inning for Harang
Still 5-1 Padres with the Reds coming up to try and hit.
Tatum walked to start the inning and Harang bunted him over...
I guess Harang is going to pitch the 7th or the Reds don't have any good bats on the bench?
Tatum walks, first BB of the game for Latos. Then Harnag bunts him to second.
Why would we give away an out down 5-1? I suppose Dusty wants to leave Harang in, and he is better off bunting....
