    have to agree with JD, I think this ump needs glasses/contacts/lasik

    Yea, getting squeezed.

    Things also coming undone after the CJ error a la Wes Wright the other day.

    The youngsters have to learn to deal with these situations.

    It's probably not so much the fact that it was an error as it was a RISP.

    I think I saw a stat pre-game that showed Bud giving up nearly a .400 AVG w/ RISP.

    Wow, Carlos Lee was way out of position so instead of having an inning ending double play with only one run scoring, a hit would get 2 more runs in

    Oh well...

    Onhell isn't very speedy... not that that was an easy play... it just doesn't seem like he has plus speed.

    Couldn't overcome CJ's error and the ump squeezing him.

    With Bud, he just has to build on the positives.

    He has stretches in a lot of games where he looks great.

    Locating his fastball, mixing in the slider... starting to use his changeup more.

    Carlos Lee's new nickname is The Fat Guy in Left Field.

    It replaces El Caballo until further notice.

    Awesome hustle by Pence... thought he was out for sure on the shallow pop fly.

    Barely got under the tag.

    Very sneaky play by Hunter or Clark, whoever made the call.

    You almost never see a guy go in that situation. Totally caught Phillips off guard.

    Whatever pitch that was, it drifted right into Votto's strike zone.

    Edit: I guess it was a slider.

    haha...

    Wasn't a HR but a mighty hack to deep, left center.

    He's going to hit at least a few into the Crawford Boxes in his career if he can stick as a starter.

    I said it for the first time either late last season or early this season when watching him at bat.

    It wasn't really a great call or anything. He takes a might hack. Pretty nice swing for a pitcher.
