Go Astros!

I don't think Braun saw one strike in that entire AB.

 

Good first inning, but the Brewers have to relax and start taking some pitches.

[And That]

Another deep count on the first hitter for Villy... ugh.

[ELCABALLO45]

KKKKK

As much as I'm going to be rooting against the Cubs this year, I kind of think the Reds are a dark horse (and no, its not just Cuento's game yesterday). They've got some bats and lost a lot of games late last season that they lead. I have to think CoCo will prevent that. Harang and Arroyo both have good stuff, also.

 

So, not only will I be rooting against the Cubs when i check box scores, but the Reds also.

Braun swings at a lot of balls.

 

That's why I like Braun batting 3rd and Fielder 4th.

[sheetswannabe]

Whats the pitch count now?

[SpaceBadger16]

65 pitches so far

[sheetswannabe]

Not too bad...Should go 6+

With Patterson leading off and Dusty at the helm, they're a much darker horse.

[trwi7]

Whats the pitch count now?

 

69.

Slick fielding, CV. Hopefully they can stretch him to 6 innings today, but he's going to need a quick inning. With Parra going tomorrow, the bullpen needs to be fresh.

[sheetswannabe]

Perfect bunt..

[And That]

Joseph Attanasio = a weird dude.

[sheetswannabe]

Im all for an updated scoreboard...

[ELCABALLO45]

KKKKKK

[trwi7]

77 pitches. Come on low pitch count in the 5th Villy.

[JohnBriggs12]

I don't think I've ever seen a guy bunt for a hit with 2 outs, a runner on first and the pitcher due up next. Helps your BA, but doesn't do much for your team.

[tyguy20204]

Why is Joseph Attanasio a weird dude?

[jazzytrav]

Another inning like that and Villy is done after 5. Too bad cause he seems to be shutting them down.

 

Hopefully he can make it through the 5th in 10-12 pitches so he can at least start the 6th.

The only way I can think of for it to help the team is by "clearing" the pitcher.
