As a player absolutely. He just seems like a douche.

I am also on the "I Hate Hunter Pence" bus.

He just reminds me of the guy you would see jerking it on the city bus in the middle of the afternoon.

Baseball is pretty easy when you get a good lead early, get decent pitching, and play good defense. And it is more fun with the much lower pressure.

The quote I saw yesterday was wrong...the Reds will be wearing their day-game Red uniforms tonight, not their whites.

Not betting on 3 laughers in a row now...

Tonight's lineup:
Choo 8, Izturis 6, Votto 3, Phillips 4, Bruce 9, Frazier 7, Hannahan 5, Miller 2, Reynolds RHP

Barry Zito allowing a .373 AVG to lefties this year.

I mean, Barry Zito is garbage. If they Reds don't score some runs, it's a joke. Reynolds may allow some, but the Reds should be able to score.

Apparently Cingrani did actually go to Arizona, and is going back tomorrow. Seems like he is probably working on some mechanics.

Lol'd. That is the prefect description. Just looks odd as hell.

Reynolds has nothing that can miss bats. If the Giants keep hitting it in the right spots, they will score double digits.

What a bad break for Reynolds on the 1-2 pitch to Posey. It was a tailing fastball that had tremendous movement, right in to hit Posey.

Izturis is a natural lefty who is better hitting left-handed than right-handed. Zito average against is almost 80 points higher vs lefties. Izturis chooses to hit righty.

Wow. I think if Mesoraco is in, that play at the plate is an out.

I was mad at first, but that's a good call. Corky didn't get the tag in time.

Well now you're just being a dick.

Point is, if the lineup on the 2nd game of a back to back (not just a double header..literally starting the game 30 min after the first one is over) makes you sick, well idk what to tell you

So Choo, Votto, Bruce, and Phillips are just in better shape than Cozart who just had a 4-4 game? No way should Izturis and Hannahan be in the same starting lineup.

Look I'm not fucking arguing this is the best lineup that he could have put out. Just saying I'm not going to bitch about the lineup; I knew it wouldn't be great.

I'm more worried about the bullpen not being destroyed through basically 18 innings of baseball rather than putting the best lineup out there in the 2nd of back-to-back games of a 162 game season.
