Track the Reds (Playoff Edition, Round 2)

[ColonelCrazy]

Well if you have to lose, might as well make history.

 

Friday is a whole new ball game. I think we're 2-0 against Oswalt this season.

[LRCW]

Oswalt is 23-3 career against the Reds with a 2.81 ERA. 175 Ks to 56 walks in 218 innings

 

Arroyo is 1-5 career against the Phils with a 5.54 ERA in 8 career games

 

 

But what is their playoff record against each team?

Arroyo is 1-5 career against the Phils with a 5.54 ERA in 8 career games

 

Oswalt has never lost a game in Citizens Bank Park. 9-0 with somewhere around a 2.10 ERA.:scared:

Good news is that this team hasn't gone very long without putting hits together. Friday will be much better.

I thought the ump was giving Halladay the corners of the plate all day long while not recipricating that to the other side. Hence, Rolen's reaction. Volquez all season long has had a tendency to "lose control" when facing adversity and that is why I did not like him being picked to start game 1. The Reds have to get past this and move on.

 

All of this is yesterday. In baseball, you have to put yesterday behind you real quick. However, the Reds have an off day to soak in the wake of this and I do not think that helps them out.

Volquez should start game 1.

Like when they had the All Star Break to soak in the Phillies sweep? Or that day off after the disaster St Louis series? They'll be fine...

BOOM!!!

I agree. He should have. Philly is really good. I hope the Reds see them first b/c SF is so good and winning 3 games is easier than 4 against them.

Coming out of those disasters were the Phillies on the schedule? I'm pretty sure to get out of the no hit funk they have to beat Oswalt and Hamels.

Well, just got home. Dead uncle in law could have been in the lineup tonight and same result. Always tomorrow. If there's a silver lining, and no I didn't bother to wade thru all of this, it sounds as if the pen was stellar. Get's easier, Oswalt sucks.

You suck the life out of everything. Are you sure you're not a Cubs fan???

Real question is how'd your refrigerated beverages hold out?

And that is what I'm saying. If they don't put this behind them then the series is over. They can't soak in it. They are a fairly young team that seems to follow the footsteps of the vets, Cabrara and Rolen. And we all know how the vets did today. I just don't like how the series sets up. Game 1, day off, game 2, day off then game 3. This series did not set up well for the loser of game 1.
