April 24, 200818 yr Reds now 9-14 and head out to San Fran to start a 9 game road trip. 3 with the Giants 3 with the Cards 3 with the Braves Ugly, ugly. This is pretty bad ballclub at this point. With the Cubs looking like a 90+ game winner this year, the Reds may be effectively out of contention before May is over.
April 24, 200818 yr Yep. Pretty darn ugly. Patterson and Hairston had big time brain cramps.Yeah, Dusty's a real stickler for baseball fundamentals. Ask Cubs fans about that ...
April 24, 200818 yr Yeah, Dusty's a real stickler for baseball fundamentals. Ask Cubs fans about that ... Runners getting picked off is Dusty's fault?
April 24, 200818 yr This is pretty bad ballclub at this point. With the Cubs looking like a 90+ game winner this year, the Reds may be effectively out of contention before May is over. Yep, the way things are going now. Reds could be 10 games out before they get back home after this trip.
April 24, 200818 yr Cueto was up in the zone all day and got hit hard... At least something was in the zone.
April 24, 200818 yr Runners getting picked off is Dusty's fault?I didn't say it was. But Cubs teams made all sorts of silly mistakes like that in Dusty's tenure. Pretty fundamentally poor teams at times. And that has to reflect some on the manager.
April 24, 200818 yr Cueto was up in the zone all day and got hit hard... I told you he was susceptible to the long ball, that's 6 now in 33 1/3 innings--over 1.5 longballs per nine. It could be a major concern when the weather gets warmer and the ball really starts jumping at GABP.

It could be a major concern when the weather gets warmer and the ball really starts jumping at GABP. The HR was down, but Berkman turned on it and took it out right down the line. The pitches that hurt him were line drives to the gaps...
April 24, 200818 yr Surely nonoe of you guys really thought this was a 90 win club, really? No...... but > 65...yes!
April 24, 200818 yr Surely nonoe of you guys really thought this was a 90 win club, really? My prediction was 70-80, they could still win 70. Maybe. :lol:
