Game 2: DBacks @ Reds (Payback Time)

[redsrbetter]

Upton just swung and missed at a slider that really broke bigtime. WOW! I sure did miss that stuff from Bronson.

3 outs. No we have 3 runs to make up.

[redsrbetter]

BP grounds out on the first pitch. Come on now!

[redsrbetter]

Dunn gets into a nice battle here. Full count and fouling off pitches...

Then he goes down swinging. 2 outs

[redsrbetter]

Lots of ball one counts for the Reds. Patience could be key.

[redsrbetter]

EdE grounds out to SS. 1-2-3 2nd for Haren.

[redsrbetter]

Haren even showed great patience against Arroyo and grounds out on the 2-2 count

[redsrbetter]

Yep, they are laying off of anything that moves from Arroyo. Excellent game plan.

Young BB

[redsrbetter]

Hudson grounds out to Phillips. Young gets to 2B. 2 outs

[redsrbetter]

They stick with their gameplan (not swinging at anything that breaks) and Byrnes walks. His fastball is going to get crushed here real soon.

[redsrbetter]

Double steal with two outs! WOW!

[BronxBomberz]

Double steal with two outs! WOW!

Amazing!

[redsrbetter]

Arroyo gets Jackson to pop out to Votto on a nice breaking pitch. So he got someone to swing at it and got a good result. He has to be aware of what is going on, yet he didn't give in despite the walks. Good work.

Now, can the Reds hitters have the same gameplan?

[redsrbetter]

Sup Bronx? That double steal was the product of serious speed within the Backs lineup and Arroyo not really anticipating it kicking his leg up a little too high.

[redsrbetter]

Votto pops out to a good ranging overhand catch by Reynolds in foul territory. 1 out

Decent patience there though

[redsrbetter]

Bako is battling nicely now. Full count and fouling off pitches...

Grounds out on that nasty splitter. LaRue and Ross would have Kd on that pitch. Good to know.
