April 17, 201016 yr Today's Lineup Chris Dickerson cf Orlando Cabrera ss Joey Votto 1b Brandon Phillips 2b Jonny Gomes lf Jay Bruce rf Ramon Hernandez c Miguel Cairo 3b Johnny Cueto p vs. RHP Daniel McCutchen
April 17, 201016 yr So it's good Cueto "only" gave up 2 runs in the 1st, but once again that pitch count. 33 pitches in the 1st inning...
April 17, 201016 yr The Reds score on in the 1st, but had an opportunity to score a few more. Gomes with a sac fly with the bases loaded, and then Bruce grounds one weakly to first on a 3-2 pitch. Cueto with a 33 pitch 1st inning as the Bucs score two. Cueto seems to get worse every year. To me it seems like he doesn't have near the zip on his fastball that he did as a rookie.

Bruce's only RBI of the season came on a bases loaded walk.
April 17, 201016 yr Bruce's only RBI of the season came on a bases loaded walk. I was stunned when I heard that stat last night, I know he has struggled, but that's just awful.
April 17, 201016 yr I was stunned when I heard that stat last night, I know he has struggled, but that's just awful. He's not helpin the cause at all.
April 17, 201016 yr He's not helpin the cause at all. In 108 games in 2008 he batted .254 In 101 games in 2009 he batted .223 The way he is going, you figure he would end up around .230 or so

April 18, 201016 yr Cueto seems to get worse every year. To me it seems like he doesn't have near the zip on his fastball that he did as a rookie. I have been thinking that Cueto's fastball has been missing some oomph, too. Bases loaded, one out, Jay Bruce steps up.
April 18, 201016 yr Bruce hits one about 375 to center to plate 1. Both runners advance. Tie ballgame...
April 18, 201016 yr Bruce hits one about 375 to center to plate 1. Both runners advance. Tie ballgame... Yep, if I'm going to rip him when he struggles, he deserves credit for at least getting 1 run in.
April 18, 201016 yr Yep, if I'm going to rip him when he struggles, he deserves credit for at least getting 1 run in. :thumb:
April 18, 201016 yr Yep, if I'm going to rip him when he struggles, he deserves credit for at least getting 1 run in. I think you mean 2.
April 18, 201016 yr I think you mean 2. :lol: Cueto nearing 100 pitches, I thought that maybe if he could get a quick inning in the 5th, Dusty might bring him out for another, but I can't imagine it happening now.
