Pirates @ Reds (5/1-5/4)

I don't know what you do with Stephenson at this point.

Wheres all the peeps at that wanted him gone after start 2?

 

I said when I posted about him after 2 starts that I loved Arroyo, but he needed to retire. He has improved since his 1st 2 starts, but he's still not a guy that belongs in the rotation. He simply can't give you enough innings, and his ERA certainly isn't anything to brag about. The Reds just happen to score a lot of runs when he pitches.

Good Lord Almighty...that was an absolute BOMB by Votto! :eek:

 

Yeah it was. Dang. A little more to the right and we actually might have had a Red Tundra winner.

 

I was guessing that it was about 450 ft. To bad that was the last of the offensive output.

I thought he pitched fine last night. Wood was responsible for 2 of those runs because he doesn't know how to throw a strike.

Votto's last 10 games: .297 AVG, .395 OBP, 4 HR, 13 RBI

[UKMustangFan]

Just for fun...Duvall, Schebler, and Votto are on pace to combine for 156 HRs and 374 RBI. :lol2:

I feel like that every outing and then he ends up with 2 or 3 runs scored each time. He's given up a run in every outing but one.

Gotta think Davis is pitching for his rotation spot tonight.

[UKMustangFan]

He struggled to get there, but 5 scoreless is a step in the right direction for Rookie.

Reed needs to tighten up his mechanics. He is so erratic with his motion it's no wonder he has control issues.

Just not a smooth delivery at all. Very ugly to look at.

[MJAlltheWay24]

Nice to see the bats stayed alive after their 3-Run shot, unlike last night.

 

Duvall seems to be swinging the bat extremely well.

[MJAlltheWay24]

Didnt seem like many felt confident that tomorrow's game gets played.

The #Reds have recalled RHP Austin Brice from the Triple-A @LouisvilleBats and optioned LHP Cody Reed to Louisville.

Reds option Cody Reed, recall Austin Brice....

 

Not sure why you do this unless you plan on stretching him out to start.
