Track the Reds (Week 8)

[the mathemagician]

How about this stat.

 

 

 

The Reds improved to 17-11 against teams with winning records, and are 4-12 against teams with losing records.

 

Man, if they were just .500 against the losing teams, they would be 6 over and just 2 out of first.

Why do you think the huge discrepency between records against winning and losing teams?

Do you think they simply overlook the losing teams or don't take them as serious??

The Reds—who own the longest current winning streak in baseball—are looking to win seven straight for the first time since winning eight in a row in 2006.

 

Penny (5-4, 5.09 ERA) has been a common nemesis. The right-hander has won seven straight decisions against Cincinnati, including his last five starts.

 

Since he joined the Dodgers in 2004, he’s 5-0 with a 1.48 ERA against the Reds.

 

After struggling to start the season, Arroyo (2-4, 6.08) has been brilliant in his last two starts, allowing just one run in 15 innings and striking out 14. He pitched seven shutout frames on three days’ rest against Florida in a 7-6, 10-inning win Wednesday.

 

He won for the first time in five starts against Los Angeles by giving up six hits in 6 2-3 innings in a 4-0 win on Aug. 7.

I agree. The Reds beat a really good pitcher today in Lee. As long as their pitching keeps them in games like they have over the last 6, the Reds bats will eventually win the ball game for them.

 

tell that to Harang

I agree. Harang's record doesn't speak of how good he really has been this year. Anytime your ERA is under 3 you should have atleast 5 wins by this point.

How can you win five games in a row, feature the ERA leaders in both leagues, play on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and only fill 80% of GABP? I can see that against the Royals or Twins but not the Indians. The Reds need to fire their entire marketing department.

 

The Reds use an outside marketing firm to help with their "Direct" advertising. Their "Indirect" advertising is indeed lacking though.

You know this gets as old as the 99 you complained about. The Reds win 6 in a row, so you have nothing else negative to come in here and post about. . :sleep::sleep:

Blah. At least what I post has to do with the actual team instead of bringing up the past. Where were the fans? I don't understand why Reds fans aren't bothered by this.

I think it's because a majority of Reds fans has to drive a ways to the game.With high gas prices and high ticket prices,who can afford to go to the games.

You don't think not making it to a World Series in 99 years plays heavily on the minds of the current Cubs? Please. You know they have to be thinking about the Curse of the Cubs in the back of their minds whenever they get close. You want to keep brining up attendance, then I'll keep throwing 99 out there in all the Cubs threads. It's your choice. :sssh:

That looks like the speed lineup. Doesn't look too bad.

No, that was the Big Red Machine when the bowl in the middle of the clubhouse had those little green pills. Why else did "little Joe's" elbow twitch?
