Kind of like how the Reds offense is better yet the Phils always win?
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
And Ibanez has been hitting well this series.
I think Howard is hitting something like .333 in this series. Howard is a former MVP in his prime while Ibanez has an OPS under .700 and is near 40 years of age. Facing Cliff Lee, it's pretty stupid to pitch to Howard with an open base and two outs.

Glad you're at the gate deciding who the Reds do and don't need as fans.
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
Bruce grounds out.

The Reds do have a better offense than the Phillies. I don't think that is debatable. The Phillies are also playing better than the Reds right now. I don't think that is debatable either.
As I have posted in countless game threads, I understand how frustrating that it can be to be a Reds fan when they are playing badly. However, as frustrating as it can be, facts exist that show the Reds to not be what many seem to be describing as one of the worst teams in baseball.
Bunt single for Heisey.

Howard former MVP hitting well over .300 in this series and heating up
Ibanez near 40 years old with an ops under .700
Why pitch to Howard with an open base and two outs?
Stats are great things, I'm a fan of them, use them in my job daily but the Phillies are a better team than the Reds.

Oh, I think that's highly debatable. And flat out wrong. And really, what more do we need to see out of Philly to drive the point home?
Phils with one on, two out in the second.
Cairo isn't Rolen at third.
Lee fans, inning over, 1 zip.
Phils continue to lead 1-0 going to the third.

I don't see a single stat that says anything other than the Reds having an above average offense and the Phillies having a below average one.
Bailey bounces out back to the mound to begin the third.
