April 12, 201016 yr It's a stretch to call the Cubs contenders ... And if the Reds continue to win 2 out of 3 games from pretenders, they'll be fine.
April 12, 201016 yr Sure hope Brucie can get it together on the road trip. He's hitting the ball well. Its just AT someone.
April 12, 201016 yr Between 4 games in Miami & 3 in Pittsburgh, the Reds are capable of putting together a nice road record before coming home to face the Dodgers. The Marlins are a good ballclub. I'd be happy with a split with the Marlins--especially with the horrible hitting the Reds have displayed so far.
April 12, 201016 yr The Marlins are a good ballclub. I'd be happy with a split with the Marlins--especially with the horrible hitting the Reds have displayed so far. Two wins in Miami & two wins in Pittsburgh would be a very solid roadtrip. Three in Miami (or three in Pitt) and I'd be very, very happy.

April 12, 201016 yr The Marlins are a good ballclub. I'd be happy with a split with the Marlins--especially with the horrible hitting the Reds have displayed so far. Yep, get a split against Marlins, 2 out of 3 from the Pirates. That would be a very succesful trip. Even a 3-4 road trip wouldn't be bad, they just need to avoid something like 2-5.
April 12, 201016 yr I'm looking forward to watching the two pitchers, Cueto & Nolasco. Both are coming off pretty good first starts but fell apart late.
April 12, 201016 yr I look for Jay Bruce to bust out of a "slump" tonight. He's been hitting the ball hard & is likely to get a few fastballs tonight from Nolasco. For that same reason, I would be inclined to play Jonny Gomes.
April 12, 201016 yr Cueto gets out of a bases loaded no out jam with only one run scoring. 2-1 Reds after two.
April 13, 201016 yr Cueto was lucky to get through that bases loaded jam giving up just one run. Getting knocked around this inning, my goodness.
April 13, 201016 yr Death, taxes and Cueto will throw 100 pitches through 5 innings, rather amazing how consistent he is. 74 pitches through 3, asking the pen to pitch 4 innings against this offense, good luck with that
