I'm tellin you. It's the grey jerseys and blue caps. We're undefeated in them.

I love Campillo. I wish he just could go 7 but the 5 he's been giving us have been solid. I hope it lasts.

Campillo is the man. Thank goodness we actually came out with a win on the road.

Soriano had some control issues from what I heard on the radio – walked a batter, threw a wild pitch. But it's good to see him back in the game and on the roster.

You sure allowing Johnson to take 2nd in the 5th was a mental error? I didn't get to see it live but assumed the walk was intentional.

Yep, pretty sure. Why wouldn't the hold Johnson at first when a guy with a 0.420 average is at the plate? If Chipper singles in that instance, Johnson takes third easily. Holding him makes it a little tougher for him to get a good jump towards second.

They let Johnson take second so they could intentionally walk Chipper. It was pretty clear what the Reds were trying to do and it didn't pay off for Yost and Tex followed and hit a three run bomb.

If that was the case why wouldn't they have just walked Chipper? It's pointless for them to let Kelly go to second, he's not exactly Sean Casey running the bases, the guy's got speed and can steal a base whenever he needs to, especially with Kendall behind the plate. Kendall, in his career, has thrown out only 29% of base-runners.

It's a saving-face thing, that's all. It doesn't look as bad if you intentionally walk someone with first base open. Tex just made them pay.
