Wandy has lost the plate, he's walked 4 of the last 5.

Walked 5 of the last 7, bases loaded for Rolen.

Lost the plate and the HPU has a small zone going. Not a good combination...

It sounded like the HPU is playing hide the zone after the first inning.

Got out of the jam with a K and a popup. Wow!

Crazy line for Wandy through 3: 5 BB, 4 SO, 0 H.

Struck out Rolen and got Gomes to pop out. 2-0 Astros so far.

The pitch tracker has corroborated most every call. I'd love to tell you different but it looks like the HP ump is getting it right.

If you need PBP just ask.  I'm sure Lurch will step up for you...

Uh JD, what were you saying about a 3-run home run?!?!?  Reds lead it 3-2 on a Gomes 3-run blast...

You know what? Come the playoffs I'm going to root happily for the Reds.

I think Jocketty and Baker have done well but I'm probably favoring the Phillies.

Spaz!!! lays out for one to rob the Reds of a run.  Still knotted at 3 in the middle of the 7th.

The irony there is that if Votto doesn't steal second, and if not for the passed ball, Pence probably doesn't make that catch.

You can't throw that (not so) weak-assed shit to Jeff Keppinger, bitch!  (Not bad there Kepp, coming in cold to PH and getting the 1B off a 99 mph fastball).

Astros introduce Aroildis Chapman to his first MLB earned runs.  HOU 5, CIN 3. No outs, runners at 1B and 2B. B7.

That fly ball to the fence is a play that demonstrates why I'd like to see baseball on tv from a point-of-view behind home plate. I can't understand why we're still stuck seeing the play from behind the pitcher every time. Can't they try something different?

Like the replay they just showed on the play to left. I'd LOVE to see the whole game on tv from that view. The most expensive seats in the hous are from that view. Why don't we see that on tv?

Game one and I feel quite certain that the Reds are already sick of watching the Astros outfield steal hits from them.
