  Still hardly care.

  Best hitter bats 6th
  
  Skip gets too much starter treatment. He's not much beyond gritty....but he'll get 1 more plate appearance today than the guy who leads the Reds in nearly every offensive category.

  Walks Revere on 3 pitches after 1-2! Revere, like Billy H, is weak hitting and very speedy, so the last thing you want when leading off an inning is to put him on without him earning it!

  Gift call to Homer on the called strike 3 to Utley.

  Homer has had the winner's good karma a lot of the year.

  Yep, 6-3 2.99 vs Leake 3-5 3.29
• mhs95_06

  Perfect 3-2 pitch to Meso with 2 outs and 1st base open(runner going on the pitch).

  Those are the at bats they need to get rid of....he wailed at the 3-1 pitch missing badly and then didn't accept the BB to load them up for our best offensive player, chose the whiff....

  Homer looking good AND pitching to Meso....that would be one big problem solved
• mhs95_06

  Homer has one out and the bases clean coming to Revere and the top, and once again goes to a 3 ball count and this time makes him earn it, which he did. Then after the single by Rollins, Revere gets to 3rd on battery inattention, which was big as Utley can hit SFs with his eyes closed.

  A 2 run per game typo!, Thanks!

  Bad news for the Reds as they trail and Buchanan(6 ERA) is getting in a groove.
• mhs95_06

  What a bad slide by Brown!
• mhs95_06

  What a bad ball call on the first pitch to BP!
• mhs95_06

  After that and a 3-1 count, Buchanan makes him earn it on the 3-1 pitch, and he does!
• Ironman92

  

  Homer keeps getting out of mild trouble....Reds have to get to this guy for a bomb
• Ironman92

  

  Billy's CF defense is exceptional
• mhs95_06

  Great play by Billy running down that sure double looking gapper by Utley, and only the pulled throw to 1B prevents it from being an amazing DP to end the top of the 5th.
• mhs95_06

  Big 2 run single by Homer to take the lead! Got just enough wood on it to get it past the drawn in Rollins. Didn't think he should try to bunt, but smash it thru the infield.
• mhs95_06

  And Billy triples the lead to 4-1! Another make him earn it with 3 balls, and he hit it in the 2nd row!
• mhs95_06

  A really bad strike 3 call to Schumaker.

  Was the Billy's first career HR?
