God, it's like a college atmosphere there.

That was a great catch. And boy, did they ever need it.

Not sure I've ever seen a baseball crowd get in a pitcher's head like that before.

The Reds are a better team than the Pirates. Given their run differentials, the Reds should have won 93 games and the Pirates 90. Plus, Cincinnati's rotation is a hell of a lot more terrifying than Pittsburgh's, and the back of their bullpen is better.

Cool. Now I don't feel guilty at all. :D

The one thing that would make me feel good about facing the Reds in a PS series is Dusty Baker, but other than that, their lineup is abjectly terrifying. Phillips kills us, Votto is an elite hitter, Choo and Bruce are damned good too, and that ballpark is the worst shitbox this side of Houston, rewarding banjo hitters and punishing scorched liners.

Clearly, it's gotten to him, now pitching exclusively from the stretch. He's like Carlos Zambrano.

The only thing that really scares me about the Reds is Chapman, he's the best hammer at the end of the game; Phillips is hurt, Votto's done nothing against the Cards this year, and if Latos is out, Bailey is their only starter to worry about.

That was a pretty brutal E-6.

Cingrani is an absolutely terrible matchup for this team w/o Craig.

The only thing is the Reds seem tired. Beaten. It felt like they were down a couple of runs before the game even started.

The Pirates are hungry.

Yeah, but he's been out, too. Plus, I think small sample size has something to do with it as well.

The Pirates' rotation seems more gettable than the Reds' to me. Latos, Bailey, Cingrani, and Cueto are all capable of overpowering a lineup.

After Burnett and Liriano, Pittsburgh's rotation is pretty average, in spite of their ERA.

Lefty strikeout pitchers against Jay, Adams, and Beltran= bad things.
