                                Due to win! We don't lose back to back!
Fun stats.....of every player in the NL with the pace for plate appearances to be considered for title decided by percentages ( batting, OB, Slug, OPS)....Drew Stubbs is dead last in OB% and Zack Cozart is next to last. Stubbs is also dead last in OPS.
Thank God they aren't asked to set the table for the big hitters!

                                I feel like we're in a win-win here. 
Either the Reds win it all and the city gets a WS title. Or they blow it and we get rid of Dusty.

                        It is typical for play-off team representatives to respond when asked what the keys are to winning play-off series saying that a big key will be to keep the opponents table setters off base. I wonder how Reds play-off opponents will respond to that question.Ironman92;1260837 wrote:Due to win! We don't lose back to back!

                                It's funny that the pitcher has a better chance of getting on base than your shitty lead off batter.

                                Good start by Latos with the first 3 retired on 12 pitches.  Keys were the long drive by Rollins on a FB in the middle of the plate stayed in the park, and the beautiful 3-2 slider to K Fransen, who has been tough on the Reds.

                                That's a gold glove play by Bruce to end the 2nd, an inning where Latos was squeezed also.
