[Bucknut24]

0-2 count...2 run HR...see you guys tomorrow

and 5-0. Arroyo's first game where he gets rocked. It was just a matter of time. He does it every year.

Arroyo finally got tired of getting hit on his good pitches and serves up a hanger.

This really wouldn't be a big deal if Masset hadn't given away those games last week.

Of course, the rain waits until the middle of the 5th inning to show up. Fuck you, nature.

 

[Bucknut24]

glad Bruce waited til the game was over to hit a HR

Charlie fucking Morton? Pirates fans are even more shocked than Reds fans at that performance. Go figure.

The guy with 11 losses and an ERA over 7 for the year in 2010 has a sub 2 ERA after 3 starts in 2011.

Everyone should have seen that coming.

:ohwell:

Morton now has an xFIP of 4.96 and an ERA of 1.64 which is one of the larger variances I have ever seen. He is also sporting a .164 BABIP and a LOB rate of 90.1%.

When the regression comes, and its coming, its going to be freaking BRUTAL.

Leake starting to get in a groove now.

Johnny Gomes sighting has the Reds up 1-0 going into 4.

 

[Bestbuck36]

One out and Stubbs crushes one in the right field gap for a double. Then Cairo looks like a little leaguer and grounds into an easy out without remotely helping. Up to the MVP

 

[Bestbuck36]

M.V.P.

Folks, thats how its done. Line drive to score Stubbs and then hustles into second to get an extra base. Absolute stud. 2-0 Reds.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Another missed opportunity for Bruce there. Man we have got to get him going.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Ump squeezing and Leake getting two walks now after being ahead of the batters. Whats up with these damn umps and the nonexistent strike zone this season?

 

[Bucknut24]

fuck you ump

 

[Bestbuck36]

Had Doumit down 1-2 and gives up the single. Bases loaded now for Jones. Just cant seem to put guys away when they get ahead of em.

Walks one in and still loaded. Come on Mike. Trouble brewing now. He's not really missing by much but the ump has been consistent in his crap strike zone. Fly out to Gomes and the throw is not in time. Runners advance on the throw to 2nd and 3rd with 2 out. Geesh.

Pitcher is up now. 82 pitches for Leake through 4. Tied 2-2 now.
