Half those pitches to Vargas were uber hittable and he foiled them off

Vargas, Peters and Mune haven't been the same since ASB, I think it's mental so hopefully they can right the ship

4 pitch walk LFG!

Interesting that the Reds aren't using their closer.

Would be great to see Braden draw a walk here and not pound a ball into the ground.

Nice.....what do you have for us next?

From what I remember from my hitting days, if your shoulder starts to leak out early, your bat speed will suffer along with everything else.

Yeah I am honestly not too well-read on the latest thinking on what in the hitter's mechanics is now believed to produce bat speed. And IDK about you, but in my long-ago playing days people tended to talk about "bat speed" in a way that was more about "how long does it take for the swing to go from start to finish" which maps more closely to swing length in the parlance of the Statcast jockeys. Usually short swing = slow bat speed even though the swing itself is kind of "fast". Wouldn't surprise me if flying open could lengthen the swing and therefore produce higher peak bat velocity even if it has some other downsides. Wouldn't surprise me if it also just costs you everything. I think Miguel might be wearing down a bit which could affect everything all at once.

a MUNE SHOT

Would be nice to steal one from them after how Tuesday went.

The answer to an earlier question.....here's Mune

Braden has been having great ABs, so patient up there getting walks

Mune helped him out...

2 out of the zone damnit

Chased last two

a MUNE SHOT

was worth a shot

Just shaking my head after Colson’s swing

Our 2 sluggers just swinging at crap sliders out of the zone

Mune struck himself out

4 pitches in a row chased

Let him dig himself a hole for fucks sake

f*** he just missed it

You have to be kidding me. I hate this series

damn it

How in the world did that stay in the park

Wrong
