Track the NL Central Champion Reds - 2nd Half (Week 1)

[EZ Living]

Bailey was not happy about being pulled from this game. Think it has anything to do with the bullpen not doing their jobs lately?

[EZ Living]

Keep pitching them away and they start looking away Bray.

[EZ Living]

C'mon offense please get at least 1 run this inning so that we don't have to watch CoCo pitch to Pujols with the game on the line.

[EZ Living]

Yeah baby, his first major league ding dong. Couldn't come at a better time.

[EZ Living]

What's the chances that CoCo has a 1-2-3 inning against Pujols, Holliday and Berkman? If he can do that I promise to leave Dusty alone for at least 1 week.

[EZ Living]

Nice win by the Reds and by CoCo. He challenged batters like he needs to and maybe he can give them some stability at the end of the game we need. I will fulfill my promise but I know it will be hard. One week is not that long.

Well this will be a very nice week.

[HammerTime]

Well this will be a very nice week.

 

:lol: Let see if he can keep his promise.

Great game by all (except for Gomes)

Bailey really looked well, the Reds bullpen came through well. Great job by Co Co closing things out.

What more can anyone say about BP........gold glove play after play!

Cozart delivers again, another great game and 1st HR! I think that the Reds have found their #1 SS. Z.C. can flat play bseball.

Was good to see Stubbs have another good game. A couple of good games at the plate......imo reward him and leave him at leadoff.

 

(Cozart continues to impress, I wonder if Dusty will think that he got tired running the bases today and put Renteria in vs. Pittsburgh? Gomes has to stay in, he looked his usual at the plate again. . You team won Dusty, change the lineup and batting order :popcorn:)

I was also so glad to see the crying Cards live up to that name. Just how fun is it watching LaRussa get beat??

That is a great sacrifice. Want me to pick things up and cover for you in that dept. ? :lol:

I am getting so I enjoy watching the Cards lose almost as much as I enjoy watching the Yankees lose.

 

I think Dusty may come back with Stubbs, Cozart, Votto, Phillips, Bruce again tomorrow. See if that lineup can generate some momentum.

Good series for the Reds ... won the first game, as they should with the pitching matchup they had, lost the one they should and won the one that was iffy.
