Way to not swing at balls. Good at bat for Herrera.
He's Barry Bonds for a day. Reds have given up pitching to him.
Franco foul tip K.
Saunders into the 4-6-3 DP and promising inning turns into nothing. Mid 5th, tied at 4.
Posted in its own thread but I'll mention here for those following the game: Braves have signed Ryan Howard to a minor league deal.
Bottom 5th
Peraza flies to right.
Votto single up the middle, 1 on, 1 out.
Duvall Ks swinging, 2 down.
Suarez walks on 4 pitches, 2 on, 2 outs.
Good to have the veteran presence to stabilize the pitching staff.
Schebler fouls out, end 5, 4-4 tie.
You are substantially ahead of the MLB At-Bat radio feed.
You'll have to mentally attach "SPOILER ALERT" to each post I make then.
Top 6th
Knapp walks again, leadoff runner.
Stassi walks, two on, none out, just like last inning. Reed looks awful to 1st 2 batters in 2 straight innings.
Galvis can't bunt an inside pitch, and Knapp is picked off 2nd, 1 out.
I'm watching the MLB feed and have this thread in another tab. I confess that I have checked here sometimes to see what has happened as I watch an at bat.
Galvis into a 4-6-3 DP. 2 pitches, 3 outs as 2 on, none out becomes 'faces the minimum' just like that.
That rally disappeared in a hurry.
Even thinking bunt has a disastrous effect.
From two on and no outs to inning over in almost a blink of the eye.
