May 9, 201115 yr To continue with the pitching discussion I don't really have a problem bring in Coco during a tie game in the 9th.
May 9, 201115 yr Really need to take this Houston series with the Cards. Nice to see both Homer and Cueto with W's in their first starts of the season. One thing I noticed today when viewing the overall pitching stats, Chapman with 13 walks in 14 innings. That is brutal and it shows in his 1.5 WHIP.
May 9, 201115 yr Was glad to see the Reds get this one and take the series. I, like others thought that Cueto looked good today. I certainly hope that Cueto and Homer can keep pitching well and stay away from injury. I don't know about anyone else but Volquez and Cueto's mindset, lack of concentration scares me. Volquez was discussed on this on the previous thread and I think that Cueto has the same lapses in that area. Great stuff but will lose concentration on what he is trying to achieve. Both leave me scratching my head at times. I hope that Bruce continues hitting, the Reds definately need his bat. Would love to get this series in Houston heading into this weekend when the Cards come to GABP. 1.5 back heading into this week. St. Louis -------- Cincinnati - 1.5 Pittsburgh -2.5 Chicago Cubs - 4 Milwaukee - 5.5 Houston - 6.5
May 9, 201115 yr With the off day on Thursday, will Cueto's next start be pushed to Saturday? The Cueto vs. Cards reunion should be fun to watch.
May 9, 201115 yr Reds Rotation this week Monday: Travis Wood Tuesday: Homer Bailey Wednesday: Volquez Friday: Arroyo Saturdery: Cueto Sunday: Travis Wood Looks like the Cardinals will throw Lohse, McClellan, Carpenter
May 9, 201115 yr Looks like the Cardinals will throw Lohse, McClellan, Carpenter Ouch, ouch, and ouch. Reds will need 3 quality starts to have a chance against those three.
May 9, 201115 yr I have to wonder if Wood is going to be on a short leash this week. If he keeps getting hit hard will they give Willis a shot?
May 9, 201115 yr Reds Rotation this week Monday: Travis Wood Tuesday: Homer Bailey Wednesday: Volquez Friday: Arroyo Saturdery: Cueto Sunday: Travis Wood Looks like the Cardinals will throw Lohse, McClellan, Carpenter I have zero fear in the Reds facing Lohse. I wouldn't trade one Reds starter for him heads up. McClellan is still a work in progress. Now Carpenter, that dude can pitch.
May 9, 201115 yr I have zero fear in the Reds facing Lohse. I wouldn't trade one Reds starter for him heads up. McClellan is still a work in progress. Now Carpenter, that dude can pitch. Lohse has been excellent so far this year.

May 9, 201115 yr Stubbs CF Renteria SS Bruce RF Phillips 2B Lewis LF Hernandez 1B Valaika 3B Hanigan C Wood P Votto needed a day off IMO. It will be interesting to see what Lewis can do given 4 AB's.
May 9, 201115 yr Lohse has been excellent so far this year. Even better news. That means he is going to come back to reality soon, hopefully starting this weekend.
May 9, 201115 yr Votto needed a day off IMO. It will be interesting to see what Lewis can do given 4 AB's. Agreed. Kinda thought we'd see Cairo at 1B, but Hernandez is more than capable.
