2011-05-31 Brewers (Greinke) at Reds (Reineke) - [Brewers win, 7-2]

Also, how do you make the argument that the guy who leads all starters in K's per 9 innings has been throwing meat all year?

[pebadger]

I don't think the argument is that he's been throwing meat all year. The argument is that his bad pitches have been very hittable, and guys have been taking advantage of that. The ERA is a partial testament to that idea. His BABIP doesn't have to go down. You'd expect it to, but it doesn't have to.

[razzzorsharp]

How do the Reds only swing at strikes? It's making me crazy.

[TheCrew07]

Fastballs down the middle (like that last hit given up) tend to get hit hard, and tend to turn into basehits rather than outs. I fully understand how BABIP is calculated.

 

His K/9 has nothing to do with his FB location and everything to do with how good his 2, 3, and 4 pitches are.

 

Except there where he hangs a slider right down the middle...

[ELCABALLO45]

Dumb question or is Greinke tipping his pitches at all? Man the Reds are laying off good pitches.

[razzzorsharp]

Nice DP. Seriously though, are the Reds always this patient or are they just guessing well? That pitcher just took a couple decent looking pitches.

[pebadger]

Nice that Reineke is a terrible hitting pitcher. That pitch was there to drive.

[theavrock]

Well that is about as good of a outcome as we could have hoped for. Maybe that jolts him and he can do a quick 5th and 6th. (Being optimistic here).

[razzzorsharp]

Bases loaded, no outs. Can't expect much better than 1 run. I don't think 4 runs wins it tonight, we need a couple more.

[stalton]

if you told me that ZG would only give up a single run with the bases juiced and nobody out and still have a 2 run lead. I'd take that any day of the week

[cheesecup22]

Fortunate to get out of that with only 1.. Its insane how good the Red's approach is. Do they do this every game or only against the Brewers?

[derflotr]

It's like the Reds' lineup is Barry Bonds 1-9

[ttsather]

Rickie Weeks hits the ball very hard.

[pebadger]

Corey still looks out of sorts when running.

[pebadger]

Phillips-Votto-Bruce. Get through this with no damage (and without 17 piches to the last two guys) and Zach should be in a lot better shape.

[ilovebeer]

The reds take there sweet time at there at bats and we go through are at bats so quick.

[stalton]

Corey still looks out of sorts when running.

It's why he prefers to hit home runs

 

I'd imagine he's still battling his recent bug

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice play Yuni B

[ilovebeer]

Zack pitch count is at 101 one more inning you think?

[dlk9s]

Nice play by YuBet there.

[endaround]

McGehee is just an out machine right now

[trwi7]

Thank God McGehee didn't sign that extension.

[jjgott]

Casey really needs a day off

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I'm still a Casey believer, but man he is some kind of cold.

[pebadger]

Second deck.
