Reds at Pirates 4/5 - 4/8

[sumoroyal]

Reds left bases loaded with one out. Scooter and DuVall strikeout. They threw Scooter three curve balls that bounced in the dirt that he swing at.

Duvall is helpless with runners in scoring position in a big spot. He needs to hit no higher than 6th and should be in the 7 hole in a good lineup.

How long does Price last at this rate?

 

Hasn’t exactly been a stellar start for him.

[sumoroyal]

Suarez with a big hit to tie the game at 4. On a side note, it amazes me the number of Reds strikeout looking especially with runners on base. When they should be most aggressive they are passive.

Hasn't exactly been a stellar managerial career for him.

 

Fixed it for you.

I'll tell you what, there's hardly any crowd at this Redlegs/Pirates game, but the damn "wooooing" is making this about unwatchable for me. Why on God's green earth do some idiots do this? It's SOOO DAMN annoying.

[sumoroyal]

Suarez with a 3-run bomb to gives Reds 7-4 lead. He has driven in the last five runs. Earning that new contract tonight.

[HammerTime]

Winker on base 3 times tonight.

He needs to stay in that leadoff spot. He reminds me of a more athletic Kevin Youkilis.

Yeah I see that.

 

One of the reason I’m not worried about the offense. Once Senzel is up here they should have a real solid top 4. Just need some pitching.

Amen. I am pretty sure Pittsburgh is who started that crap. I remember hearing it a couple years ago in a Pittsburgh game. Now it happens all the time at Cincinnati games too. It is as annoying as those vuvuzela's were at soccer matches. They got those banned, but I don't know what can be done about the "hooting" at baseball games. I just turn the volume off when watching TV. If at the game, I would have to leave.

[ColonelCrazy]

Can't continue to put Peraza & Hamilton in the same lineup. Other than that, I agree that the offense will be fine.

 

Need Castillo to develop into a top of the rotation type of starter. Bailey has another 2 seasons. I'm optimistic about Amir Garrett & Mahle. Hopefully Romano or Stephenson can round out the rotation. Lots of question marks but lots of young talent.

When Senzel gets called up they need to hit Duvall no higher than 6th as well.

Reds following up with a big win last night by basically getting no hit through 5 innings. Mahle got the only hit. Suarez got hurt but don't know what happened. Was watching the Masters.

[sumoroyal]

Suarez got hit by a pitch in the hand.
