Basically. Plus he dicks around way too much out there. That's something Cueto has outgrown but Volquez still hasn't, especially since Volquez has discovered a curveball. He's like a little kid in the way he's fascinated with that pitch.

Man our offense is terrible today. Did Brandon Webb buy a Rodrigo Lopez mask or something? Actually nevermind, that's just the Reds hacking at anything and everything.

I love how Thom & Chris can find ways to compliment a guy who is 5-14 with 33HR's allowed and lost 7 straight

He goes quickly, but lot's of times he gets it back, especially in his first year. It was like he just lost concentration for a while. Very costly though. But I think you stick with him for a while in this game. Dusty must think so too as he let him hit.

The difference between his first year and this year is that Volquez had more consistant mechanics in his first year, plus he wasn't constantly toying with a curveball. Just my opinion.

Charlie man calm down lol they've been doing this the whole year; they're waiting to strike. Seeing their pitches, getting a feeling of the game. Don't worry, they'll come back eventually. I'll bet you 5 dollars Janish will get a big hit in this game.

Of course concentrating a bunch can be bad also, like Massett so concentrated he doesn't know the runner is leaving from 3rd until he has stolen home!

Ramon breaking his bat on a first pitch with runners on 1st and 3rd and 1 out coupled with Janish and Francisco taking some ill advised swings have irked me today more than normal. They can't get away with this crap in the playoffs.

As a side note, the D-Backs have to be the stupidest team in baseball. You get to Volquez for 3 runs because you work the count and are either rewarded with a walk or a quality swing on a fastball late in the count. And then they come out this inning and hack away.

They are saving that strategy for the 7th!

Bruce smoked that. I wish that would have hit LaRoach right in his stupid little patch of chin hair...but then again, that would have killed him if it had.

Well Parra to 2nd with 1 out. D-Backs are sure to score this inning because Kelly Johnson will be due up and he absolutely rakes the ball.

No kidding. Wasn't even a good frame job by the catcher either. It's been that kind of day for Lopez.

I'd love for Jimmy to go yard here and prevent Lopez from getting a W. That'd be sweet.

I thought it was pathetic for Ramon not to swing. I thought it was the right call on a very good tailing pitch!

I tweeted John Fay b/c I was curious of the Reds record on Day games compared to night games b/c I thought there was a huge difference and there kind of is.... Day games Reds are 28-23 and Night games 55-40

D'backs need to leave Heilman in for the save in the 9th. He is throwing good. He had strike 3 on both the first two hitters that the ump didn't call, and still retired the side 1,2,3.
