4/18 - 4/21 Marlins @ Reds Series Thread

[HammerDown]

Philistines hit St. Lousy with 5 in the first.

Just saw that. Music to my ears!!!

 

[HammerDown]

Me and my big mouth predicting the SO for Latos.

But this is nice:

 

[JohnU]

I am plotting a strategy for looking bad about wanting Hanigan to be benched.

 

[HammerDown]

Is the rain going to be a problem?

Gotta run out and get some food/beer. BRB

 

[JohnU]

Looks like a rain delay coming on.

 

[bucks0821]

Need to go 8-2 on this home stand.

 

[JohnU]

Geez, do these guys just have trouble with bad pitchers?

 

[Beggs]

Reds were second in NL in WHIP and K's coming into this game. But last for HR given up.

Offensively, 3rd in HR, T4th in 2B, 2nd in BB, Last in SO, 4th in AVG, and 2nd in OBP

 

[Beggs]

The reds have had 25 at bats with the bases loaded. 6 more than the next, and 11 more than the next closest.

 

[JohnU]

Need some bullpen tonight.

 

[HammerDown]

Good start.

 

[HammerDown]

BP can end this thing right now and send 'em home happy.

 

[JohnU]

Votto needs a couple of games off.

 

[Ryanballa]

That is a tough one to loss,Hopefully our Reds bring there bats tomorrow afternoon in game 3.Man! Cant believe we lost that one.

 

[HammerDown]

Not capitalizing again on the Cards loss is disappointing to say the least.

 

[JohnU]

Too early to fret a pennant race, for sure, but it's tough to let one get away.
Pitchers who throw strikes consistently will always be hard to beat.

 

[Hit-n-Run]

Slowey has pitched well this season. It's his third QS in 4 attempts.

Went to the game tonight. Between the rain, wind, and temp it was brutal. Not as brutal as the watching the Reds' RHB versus RHP this season. The Reds' RHB were hitting .198 against RHP coming into the game, don't think that number improved against Slowey.

Teams seem to be pounding Votto inside at the belt and he hasn't made the adjustment. Pitchers haven't let him get extended to drive the ball to left as we're so use to seeing him do.

Latos looked good and showed improved maturity. He didn't get some calls and went behind the mound to collect himself. Big improvement over what we saw in game 5 versus the Giants last season where he loss his cool, focus, and the game. He's intimidating when he's stays in command.

 

[JohnU]

The ball that JV hit for the sac fly in the first was clearly forced. I think, remembering how he reacted, he seemed surprised that it was hit that deep.
