If you never swing at the first pitch pitchers are going to catch on and you're basically spotting the pitcher a strike...Mauer has done this for years and it's mildly annoying. He'd be an even better hitter if he swung at the first pitch every once and a while.

Lincecum ended up with a good game never blowing up. I have more faith in him than the Giants fans it looks like.

You haven't watched all his starts like we have though ... especially his road starts.

I am still puzzled how the Reds get runs with this lineup.

I mean if the pitch is right down the middle, yes you swing. But if it is not anywhere near that and you hit a wimpy dribbler to the pitcher, I get REAL furious.

Of course. Happy hour after work and just continued. Sober me would realize 2012 Lincecum is atrocious and we should not have any faith at all.

I was at the Reds game tonight.
The crowd is just electric for Chapman.
And despite a pitiful start by the offense, crowd was in it the whole game. Used to never be that way.

Its actually been better this year than the team that won the central.
Especially a game when Joey was out.
And for those with Chapmania:
84 K in 44.2 IP with only 13 BB.

Our bullpen is so bad we're now resorting to bringing in one Robert Allen Dickey to pitch.
