Yeah, it is true. He's been very wild within the zone tonight. He's had a lot of trouble commanding all three or four of his pitches and has left the ball up in the zone a lot. He's almost always around the knees with his pitches.Originally Posted by remdog
That is too much for games that don't matter.

Give me a hint,
Did it happen more than a few times in 2008
Um the Baker trio ? Bako Hairston and Patterson, let's see how it works out.

Hairston PH'ing for Lincoln. Flies out to Hardy.
Astros beating the Pirates 3-2. Since the beginning of August...Houston is playing at a .722 clip. 26-10. I hate the Astros.
Ahhh shucks. Dusty used Hairston to pinch hit for Lincoln and ruined it....But they did go quickly 1, 2, 3....
But between Bako and Patterson, who ends up with a lower BA?
Bako now at .207, and Patterson at .201....

Nick Masset in to relieve for the Reds
Masset in replacing Lincoln.
These Brewers announcers......the Reds are a dangerous offensive ballclub?....worried about Bush pitch count (He has barely 90)....against this joke of an offense?
I agree that this hitter (Patterson) will show if he stays.....since he is such an easy out...anything less than a 3 pitc h AB even while getting him out would be considered a failure by a pitcher.
Tonight was Volquez's sixth 10+ strikeout game of the season and second straight. He's now up to 184 K's on the season and should be a lock for 200 now.
No, it's not true but you're 21 years old and apparently you know everything. Pitchers often pitch 'up in the zone'. If you've been paying attention you've seen a lot of Reds hitters fall prey to that approach.
Volquez has been 'wild in the zone' but that includes being 'off the plate'. That's the way pitchers are. They don't drill the corners every pitch.
Rem
If you go three year stats it might be Bako
Code:Bako .208 .281 .318 .599 Hairston .231 .301 .323 .624 Patterson .254 .291 .393 .684
ok guys, let's not start insulting one another here.
