The Reds were up in the top of the first, batted around striking out. ummmmmm

What was that PA? Three straight pitches he swung at, two of which were nowhere near the zone in different directions.

Is Elly broken right now? .241/.315/.349/.665 since the AS break and a K% back around 30% after it had been improved (still high, but notably improved) in the first half of the season. 5 for 33 with a single XBH (double), 1 RBI, 1 BB, and 13 K in August.

Here we go!!!!!!!!!

Runs! I had to pluralize!

Littell falling apart.

Jesus Hays how do you look at one right down the middle?

Got the lead back anyway.

Nice answer! Almost got that 4 run lead back!

Nice, stringing together some XBHs, scoring some runs, regaining and then building back up a decent lead.

CANNOT afford to lose 3 out of 4 to the Pirates. 2 out of 4 is already tough enough.

Uh-oh.

Phew, clutch (and efficient) appearance by Moll.

12 balls in a row to walk in a run, really

And then you got Mey walking everyone with 2 outs.

Wasn't 12 in a row but still.

Control is what has kept Mey in the minors. That's 15 walks in 18 innings up here.

I thought I heard them say 11 balls in a row then ball 4

That's a quick way to get it back!!!

Steer showing off some forgotten power!

There was the last 3 in a row to the first walk, 3 in a row, a strike, and ball 4 to the second walk and 4 straight to the 3rd walk.

So 11 out of 12 pitches were balls?
