May 18, 201115 yr Strange. From the way he acted and the way the ball was hit it seemed like he thought it was a ground rule double. But I watched the video again and it looks like his eye was on it the whole way. Definitely weird. I was chiding a Cubs fan friend of mine about the win. It's pretty sad I had to say "we even started Volquez and you still lost." I'm starting to lose my faith that he is going to turn it around. But who knows, how many times have second halves of the season been completely different than the first for players?

He dropped the bat like he knew it was gone and he for sure had his eye on it the whole time. It is all Mental with him IMO, I think he can figure it out.

May 18, 201115 yr Heisey taken advantage of every AB...get it done kid! You're not that big of a fan of Heisey, are you?
May 18, 201115 yr Quality start tonight for Volquez. One mistake to Pena. 6 IP 3 Hits 1 BB 9 k's. That's true, but it still continues the troubling pattern of the first inning blow up before settling down. I don't think that's sustainable, especially for our alleged ace.
May 18, 201115 yr That's true, but it still continues the troubling pattern of the first inning blow up before settling down. I don't think that's sustainable, especially for our alleged ace. Valid point. Many top notch starters have troubles in inning one for some reason. But Volquez is taking that to new heights. His ERA outside of inning one is dynamic.
May 18, 201115 yr Good thing they won both against the Cubs; the Cards beat the Phillies again tonight. It would be nice to see a winning streak of seven, which should be very feasible against the Pirates, even though they lost 3 out of 4 against them the last time.
May 18, 201115 yr When the Reds win, you win with discounted tickets! The Reds are taking on a trio of NL Central Division foes and each victory counts a little bit more with our "Reds Win, You Win" promotion! For every Reds win during the May 13-19 homestand against the Cardinals, Cubs and Pirates, we'll take $4 off the price of Field Box tickets for the June 6-8 series against the division-rival Cubs. That means you could have the chance to purchase these great lower level seats, regularly $34, for as little as $6 per ticket! Cheer on the Reds during this homestand at Great American Ball Park and you can score with discounted tickets for exciting Reds baseball! It's a win-win for everyone! Tickets are down to $14 a ticket after the sweep of the Cards and Cubs...A sweep of the Pirates and the tickets will be $6 and go on sale a half hour after the final game against the Pirates...I'm definitely going to try to snag some.
May 18, 201115 yr Another sweep :ylsuper:! I am not sure but I don't think that the Reds have lost since I put up my Bench/Perez avatar. I change avatars often but I think that I am going to keep this one for a while. btw....I didn't realize it was that many but I just saw on "Reds Live" that 13 of the 25 Reds wins were come from behind wins. Edited May 18, 201115 yr by oldrambler
May 18, 201115 yr Haha wow, the Cubs just refuse to win lol. The Cubs snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory...........Yes, they are terrible and I couldn't be happier, unless it was the Cardinals that bad.

May 18, 201115 yr Stubbs CF Janish SS Votto 1B Phillips 2B Bruce RF Rolen 3B Gomes LF Hanigan C Arroyo P I'm almost to the point I hope Gomes keeps struggling so we don't have to see him in the lineup. Even every other day is way way too much.
