May 6, 201214 yr Hope the Reds can pull out a win today to take the series. Don't really want to drop a series to the Pirates.
May 6, 201214 yr Another pathetic offensive showing by the Reds against James "Cy Young" McDonald. Amazing how theses opposing pitchers seem to have HOF games against the Reds...
May 6, 201214 yr Amazing how theses opposing pitchers seem to have HOF games against the Reds... What's more amazing is that some on this site will have you believe that this is a good offensive team. This team has a way of making a lot of mediocre pitchers look like all-stars. I can't figure this team out, whether it's their approach to hitting or what. I definitely think it's time for some coaching changes to bring some guys in here to help these young hitters with a different approach. Too many of them just look totally lost in different situations.
May 6, 201214 yr It just isn't the Reds night. Pirates getting all the breaks, and making all the plays. I learned a long time ago that you make your own breaks, you can't wait on luck to turn your way. I would love to see a Mike Scioscia type manager come in here and work with these young kids. Mike does all the little things that you need to do to win close games. He uses the run and hit, hit and run, stolen base, etc., etc., etc. He definitely knows how to manufacture runs and doesn't sit back and wait for the long ball to score runs. Early runs in games put a lot of pressure on the opponent and more often than not the Reds find themselves on the other end of that stick, having to come from behind.
May 6, 201214 yr April is over, so hopefully Latos can step up and pitch like the guy we acquired from SD today. Take 2 out of 3 from Pitt and move on to Milwaukee...

May 6, 201214 yr Cozart SS Stubbs CF Votto 1B Phillips 2B Bruce RF Heisey LF Frazier 3B Hanigan C Mat Latos P IMO probably the best lineup Dusty has ran out there...Id like to see a few changes still but id be more than happy if he ran this lineup out there more often than not...
May 6, 201214 yr Author 4-0 on Sundays and 7-1 in the last game of a series. And you just jinxed them.
