  Haha Fredi is an idiot without the SS thing.

  Braves might score every inning tonight.

  Might also strike out 17 times

  Arroyo gets out of the 1st with just one run on a great tailing fastball called K on Uggla. As bad as Arroyo is against lefties, he has to do very well on righties, so when he walked a righty, and then an excuse me hit by a righty, you knew it was going to be a tough inning. The complete bamboozelment of the rookie Gattis with the breaking balls though set him up to be able to pitch around dangerous McCann and put Brronson in position to get out of the inning with the great final pitch to Uggla. Very important half inning!

  Another righty burns Bronson with that meat ball in his wheelhouse!
• se-alum

  

  Bronson getting too many pitches up in the zone.

  This prediction also looking good.
• karen lotz

  

  was that the eephus??
  
  
  probably a little too hard at 63.
• mhs95_06

  Simmons the player of the game so far. He looks great in the field.

  That first one, by the #8 hitter, wasn't, as it was off the facing of the 2nd deck in left.
• mhs95_06

  I didn't think Arroyo would give McCann something that good with a runner on 3rd and 2 out, but he got away with it. Still 2-0 - need to get on the board!

  The game is in slow-mo for the Reds. Not liking the offense thus far...
• Terry_Tate

  

  Starting to think the Reds won't get a hit this game. If Votto can't get a hit off him none of them can.

  They will probably get 2 or 3 runs. I just don't see any way Arroyo holds them to anything under 4...

  I think Upton could have caught that ball if he takes one more step before pulling up. Luckily he didn't let it spin away from him.
• mhs95_06

  I thought Choo had a RBI when the ball left the bat, but Simmons wasn't pulled over for a lefty very much!

  He's definitely lucky. Gets by him, maybe a ITPHR.

  and Dan Uggla triples.
  
  The world has ended...

  Bronson in trouble in the 4th after one pitch.

  More relating to the fact that he's a terrible hitter, not that a triple is really rare...
