July 7, 201115 yr Big win. Most people need to realize that things are never as good as they seem, and things are never as bad as they seem. I remember they got swept by the Phillies in a 4 gm series last year and a lot were writing them off. The way I see it is they honestly can not play much worse and they're 3 games back. They could VERY easily be one game back if a few breaks would have went their way in the opening game of the series. People need to take a deep breath, relax , and stop saying the season is over in early July.
July 7, 201115 yr Willis was supposed to pitch in relief last night for Wood, but never did....With the bullpen being completely cashed, I wonder if we'll see Willis or Fisher join the club in Milwaukee tonight? I'd bet yes.
July 7, 201115 yr Since opening day last year: Cordero 84% (57 of 68)/Rivera 86% (54-63). There should be less angst for Cordero and more appreciation. I figure that appreciation will come in 2012 when he's not here....and the Reds closer is not saving 85% of the games. Read more: http://www.espn1530.com/pages/lancesBlog.html#ixzz1RQUpZgd9
July 7, 201115 yr ^ More of a hunch from John Fay than anything. Hopefully it plays out... I never thought I would say it but hopefully Edgar stays and Soft J goes if this happens...Edgar is looking pretty good right now...
July 7, 201115 yr ^ Either one at this point. A guy that follows the the Bats very close said he heard the rumor from a "fairly reliable source".

But Cordero get's unfairly bashed on here everytime he blows a save. This stat show he does his job very well.
July 7, 201115 yr People need to take a deep breath, relax , and stop saying the season is over in early July.I agree that was a big win in that the Reds avoided the sweep. I am disgusted with the way they are playing and if that continues then they can be a long way down with 3 teams to climb over. I can't speak for others but I believe that most comments by others reflect basically the same frustration.
July 7, 201115 yr Following up on HT's point about Coco.... Coco is 130/151 with the Reds. Good for an 86% success rate. Brian Wilson is 151/173 over that same period. Good for an 87% success rate. Heath Bell is 115/132 over that same period. Good for an 87% success rate. Seems like he's right on par with the guys that are considered the leagues best....

July 7, 201115 yr Cozart is on his way. It's about time. He is 3 for his last 20... Hitting .150 in July. Hopefully he can turn that around. Glad to see some changes being made. It can't hurt.
