Not a criticism at all. Just an observation.
Also frustrating for David.

Homer looking like the pitcher we've hoped we see for four years. Great start. We need some runs...

Homer thorough the 7th, still tied 1 to 1.
Homer has thrown 90 pitches, 65 strikes tonight so far.
It is good that he has pitched fairly deep into the game after the 14 inning game yesterday. The pen could sure use the rest. Now lets get him some run support!

I know he's facing a top pitcher in the NL, so I'm not basing my observation only on tonight's game, but Sappelt has been roundly unimpressive both offensively and defensively so far for the Reds. He has seen limited playing time, so I'm willing to give him more opportunities, but the early returns have not been good.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Bastardo. Think I would have changed my name. Phillies are just loaded.

Unintentional, intentional walk to Votto.

Sometimes Bruce amazes me. Bastardo throws one strike in6-8 pitches.

Worst atbat of the year by Bruce. Bastardo walks votto on 5 pitches, then Bruce flails at three straight pitches that were way out of the zone. Disappointing.
THey should be loaded with a payroll of $165,976,381. (The Reds, by comparison, have a total payroll this year of $80,826,667). These figures are from HERE.
