July 16, 201214 yr Chapman with 15 pitches and probably threw 5 pitches that would've been called strikes...and struck out the side. Straight Gas Homey
July 16, 201214 yr If you think about it, the Reds are in first and every offensive player except Votto, and perhaps Bruce, has underperformed. If they can just get a couple of those other guys going better, they will be very tough to beat in this division.
July 16, 201214 yr Did Chapman record 9 outs in this series & all of them of the strikeout variety? Wasn't one of the outs a dribbler that went about 1 inch in front of the plate. Meso tagged the batter?
July 16, 201214 yr Rolen basically said his last few weeks of hitting were like looking at Tito's head, just didn't look right. hahaha
July 16, 201214 yr If he keeps hitting, no. The risk is this hit will carry him for about 3 weeks of o-fers. I agree he had a nice game but his first hit was a luck job seeing eye single which happens I know, fine...But he has no pop left and cant catch up to most Fastballs...I can live with him getting a situational start per series against a pitcher that isnt a power pitcher but more of a soft tossing control pitcher...Tonight didnt really do anything to lead me to believe he will be anything of his former self...He has had chances and everyone knows by now he cant hit for any extended stretches...
July 16, 201214 yr Wasn't one of the outs a dribbler that went about 1 inch in front of the plate. Meso tagged the batter? Not sure on the out, but you're right that it was 8 of 9. Just checked the box scores on ESPN. Still, 8 out of 9 outs being a K is crazy.
July 16, 201214 yr Not sure on the out, but you're right that it was 8 of 9. Just checked the box scores on ESPN. Still, 8 out of 9 outs being a K is crazy. 8 strikeouts. The only ball in play traveled 1 inch. Stilll pretty darn good. Strike this. Holliday had a single Friday night.

I agree. The best we can expect out of Rolen based on what he is showing at the plate is another Hanigan - good average, little pop, contact hitter and solid in the clutch.
July 16, 201214 yr @missenquier 18 of Chapman’s last 21 outs have come via the strikeout. #RedsTweetUp
