Who will hit the higher number the most times? Won’t it be nice to have a pitcher who can top 95 MPH regularly?
I don’t know, but Volquez just looks awesome.

Yeah, he was up at 94 at the beginning of the inning, though. I want a closer look—it may just be a different kind of fastball. Some of them appear to have more sinking action than others.

What is with Morgan lately??
That’s two hard-hit doubles in two days. He crushed it way over the center fielder’s head…
If memory serves, he had a couple of hard-hit extra-base hits right in a row last year, too. When it rains it pours, I guess.

That's how you do it!
Take a 2-0 fastball left up on the outside half and hit it hard the other way.
Yeah, three hard-hit balls right in a row.

It seems like
in Andy’s swing that his head moves in a huge downward motion. He just looks like he has horrible mechanics.
Just call Doumit "Clank"
Maybe he was crossed up, but he has to catch that pitch.
Interesting that the Reds’ announcers are talking about Heisman Trophy winner Vic Janowicz from the 50s. He was signed by the Pirates and brought straight to the big leagues because he was a protege of owner John Galbreath of Columbus, a huge Ohio State supporter.
Janowicz lasted a year or so on those outstanding (!!!) Pirate teams of the early-mid 50s.
How is
Chris Dickerson playing this good? I saw him here in Louisville, and he was nothing special, and he’s tearing it up right now
Tied up again!

To those of you watching this on the tube...
how far out of the strike zone was strike three to Bixler?
Luigi!!
Nice clutch hit on an 0-2 count. He’s actually contributing his last several starts.
Next challenge — breaking the Mendoza line.

Does anyone have comcast HD? I can’t find fox sports HD channel. It has been replaced with the BIg 10 HD,

2 for 5 with a double. Guess that keeps Pearce nailed to the bench for another night.
Gahd (again).
No. 3 batter bunts
JR just loves his bunting. Now they’ve gone ahead and disrepected Mario — time to make them pay for dissing Mr. Hole.
That's the way to make them pay, good ol' Black Hole
Isn’t it great the way JR took the bat out of the PBC’s only 2 good hitters, by having McClouth bunt which opened up an empty base for the Reds to intentionally walk Doumit, loading the bases and setting up LaRoche for the good ol’ DP.
Maybe JR is secretly getting signals from the Reds bench? Way to wast an inning.
Game!
