nothing was close at all. Weak pop ups and easy grounders

Sure, and rightfully so. That was a 100% dominating performance. He owned my boys tonight. Fact is, though, it's still only 1 game. The series is far from over is all I'm saying (I did say Phillies in 4 though). Not harping on the players or fans, not at all. That was pretty incredible. I'm saying it more for the Reds fans around

wow that bat was in the way, what is the rule on that? Bat was in fair territory.

20-33 (now 34) against teams with a winning record, Dusty Baker managing, Travis Wood NOT starting (he's a rook and we need the experience of EDISON VOLQUEZ) = I'm hoping you get a 2nd home game just to bring in $$ and pick up the bandwagoners (this happens everywhere, it is not an insult). Cincy is a good baseball town and deserves as much.

Some post game comments from the Reds:
* "In the three at-bats I had, I might have had one pitch to hit and I fouled it back." - Drew Stubbs
* "In my last at-bat, I was just up there hacking - I looked up on the board and he's got like 21 or 22 balls in the eighth inning - and that didn't work for me, either." - Jonny Gomes
* "I was taking too big of swings, honestly. When it got to 3-2 and he threw that sinker down, I was just able to lay off it." - Jay Bruce, whose fifth-inning walk accounted for the Reds' only baserunner.
* "If he would have pitched like that against the Phillies, I'm pretty sure they would have done the same thing." - Brandon Phillips
* "I hate to use hyperbole, but he's an ace among aces." - Joey Votto
* "I never thought I would look forward to facing Roy Oswalt." - Scott Rolen
* "If I was thinking of this scenario, it would be like a nightmare. And I don't like having nightmares." - manager Dusty Baker on Cincinnati's first playoff game since 1995.

Good for Doc, I think I'm the fool that had him on an overrated list, but we can all be wrong. Really cool moment.

More recent numbers.28 more runs, 5 more HR's, 27 BA points, 77 more OPS points = better offense.
I've included a definition of recent for you here: Recent
Good luck to you.

Loved Scott Rolen's comment. Orlando Cabrera's not so much.

There were definitely a couple that were questionable, but give me a break. All of those 1st-pitch strikes were strikes and that was the key.

Is he implying that his boy Edison was getting squeezed?! He wasn't even close in the first two innings. Cabrera's a punk, him and his team got owned and his failure to recognize that and blame the ump will not help him for the rest of the series.

Good times!
Red marks are strikes and the black box is the strike zone.

So you take away what teams did over an entire season and are going by numbers for the month of September? If that is the case then even more recent numbers would be the last 5 games of the regular season, can we do that instead?

I'm confused. That's not actually all the pitches. There are only like 50 strikes total and Halladay had like 80. Or could some pitches have been in the exact same place?Red marks are strikes and the black box is the strike zone.

I was thinking those are the pitches called by the home plate umpire that weren't put into play or fouled off.I'm confused. That's not actually all the pitches.

so he actually got hosed. 1 ball was called a strike and 4 strikes were called balls.

He obviously doesn't believe what he said, so what's his point?There's a reason to say what he said.

I should have known better than to get into an argument with a homer. I have no dog in the fight, just pointing out the obvious. See ya next season.

D*mn.. I better check my rule book. I've been umpiring Senior League games and hate to get caught off guard.I think the ball is live if there was no intent to interfer....

You really are obtuse, aren't you. I didn't quantify and say "in the last month". Over the entire season, the Reds were the best offense in the NL. If you care to continuing making stupid arguments, please refer to my first sentence.

It kind of looked to me like Phillips did try to throw the bat at it and he'd be the kind of guy to do it. Seems like a weird place to drop the bat, but I'm sure that it could have been unintentional as well.DropKick said:

His team just got their clock cleaned. No sense bolstering the other team by telling them how good they are while there are a games still left to be played.He obviously doesn't believe what he said, so what's his point?There's a reason to say what he said.Is he implying that his boy Edison was getting squeezed?!

Given that both teams had their postseasons virtually locked up for all of September, I can't think of a worse month to cherry pick stats from. Pretty good backpeddle though.I should have known better than to get into an argument with a homer. I have no dog in the fight, just pointing out the obvious. See ya next season.

You also didn't qualify and say "over the entire season" in your statement. I don't think there are many people outside of the Cincy homers who would agree with your position. I'll back away and watch the remainder of the playoffs.
