  That Carlos Lee shot on tv looked like it was either a just miss or a shot off of the boat in CF.....couldn't tell
  
  
  
  Possibly Stubbs bets play of the year

  Reds making Wandy look like a Cy Young pitcher ..... We always seem to struggle vs him, it's terrible
• Ironman92

  

  He does pitch well against the Reds....the at bat to Votto was a battle.....he won fair and square
• Tiger2003

  

  Hahaha that guy just robbed the ball going right to the guy in the stands.
• osu45804

  

  Why can't the Reds be patient w/ this guy?

  Here comes the rally...Cabrera on with no outs
• osu45804

  

  2 on w/ 0 Out!
• Ironman92

  

  The "patient" thing is what scares me the most in the playoffs. The umps tighten up the zone...the picthers are the best of the best and extra focused to not miss in a bad spot....will the free swinging Reds adjust? Dusty is a firm believer in jumping on the first good hittable pitch.....and I agree with that more than most of you think....but I feel several of the Reds hitters do not recognize whether or not it is really that hittable and the offense is not exactly killing it as of now.
  
  Other teams will be extra patient in the playoffs making the pitchers work harder and more carefully.

  Rolen time?
• osu45804

  

  Bases Loaded w/ 0 Out!!!
• Ironman92

  

  Rolen = patient
• Ironman92

  

  not Dustyball will jump on the first decent pitch....maybe we'll get lucky...but I don't like looking fastball after a trip to the mound
• Ironman92

  

  see.....Gomes was lucky.....pitch was not even close and he damn near went
• Ironman92

  

  ....then wails at an 82 mph changeup
• Ironman92

  

  wails again on a ball 12 inches high
• Ironman92

  

  he's battling...but in the hole
• osu45804

  

  Gomes fouling off a lot of pitches right now
• Ironman92

  

  high fastball coming
• Ironman92

  

  a patient approach has him 2-0 to start that at bat
• osu45804

  

  Come on Phillips!
• Ironman92

• Ironman92
