Viciedo at least SHOWED the ability to time a 97-98 MPH fastball.

 

So he has the chance to hit it, if he's looking for it. That's about the only positive to take from that inning, and the fact that Alex Rios is finally starting to look like a major league hitter again.

 

101 K's.

They weren't going to pinch hit AJ there. He just caught a night game the night before, and he is the only catcher on the bench.

 

It can be argued that Robin should have used someone else off of the bench, but no manager is going to use their other catcher in that situation.

Seriously? AJ can't catch one inning? I completely disagree with this post

Jesus, didn't even realize that the game had started. :mellow:

 

Oh well, doesn't look like I wanted to see it.

 

 

Yep, it's Gavin, it's April, and we still can't hit with RISP.

 

Nothing new there. Might almost be better off watching the movie BATTLESHIP, although that's just as predictable, maybe moreso than the Sox.

 

 

How was Stewart ever a top relief candidate with the Reds throwing at 90-91 MPH? Hmmm....it's like Nick Masset and the disappearing fastball.

 

Did they not want to announce the attendance intentionally?

Wow, just terrible managing not using your hottest hitter when he'd represent the tying run.

Only excuse I'd accept is if Pierzynski is sore, but even so, throw out Fukodome for Viciedo. Today hasn't been good for Tank.

Very few major league hitters hitters are going to hit that 3rd strike when their timing mechanism is geared for 97-99 MPH fastballs.

All day not just that AB.
