It's an early game today with a start time of 7:05 am in Hawaii. I'll admit that I was surprised to see that Harang's numbers are so good through his first two starts as it felt like he hadn't pitched as well as we're used to. His walks are a little higher than we've seen in the past, but other than that I'll take his numbers expanded out over a whole season right now. Of course, then he'd be 0-17 and that wouldn't be so good, but other than that...
Villanueva's a pretty good young pitcher, but he'll walk his share of batters. The Reds need to continue to be patient, while being aggressive. Yeah, that's it. Patiently aggressive. Somebody trademark that!
