Reds VS Cubs Series Thread

[Ryanballa]

Today we should be able to beat up on former Red Travis Wood,and hopefully Bruce starts to turn it around in this series.

 

[cju84]

Sadly, I have to agree with you..

 

[Redsfan1507]

Actually, Wood had pitched well so far, and the Reds have hit lefties... both trends I don't expect to last that long... the good news is, the Cubs are bad. The bad news is, our Reds can get beat by bad teams... ask the Pirates. The Reds need to win as many as possible before a 10 game roadie.

 

[JohnU]

The two players who consistently hurt the Reds -- Castro and Barney -- need to be kept off the bases. This is another game that Leake needs to get straight ... and if the Reds can score early, that might just happen. I am seeing a lot of the same thing as last year -- waiting till the 6th or 7th to get the offense in gear.

Very much looking forward to first pitch! Tuning in now...

 

[HammerDown]

Did you hear the stat they just started with?

The Reds have scored 10+ runs five times this season. #1 in MLB
The Reds have scored 1 run or less six times this season. #2 MLB

It's a true feast or famine. This has got to be in the pitcher's head.

 

[HammerDown]

Choo getting on base better than Votto. Votto said yesterday that he feels like he turned the corner and is ready to go.

 

[JohnU]

Don't want to toss a lot of cold water on this, but the Reds did beat the Miami Flatfish ... it's hardly the same thing as a real major league team.

 

[HammerDown]

Leake looks so stupid in those socks. :rollseyes:

 

[JohnU]

Leake is a good hitter -- for a pitcher.
But what in HELL is Dusty doing, calling for a hit and run with the pitcher at bat?

 

[pursifull14]

No way hammer down, I love it when guys where the pants to just below their knees. That's how it was meant to be!

 

[HammerDown]

I'm sensing some bonus baseball tonight.

 

[JohnU]

What we don't need is to lose Broxton.
Marshall off the DL tomorrow. Is this really happening?

 

[ckhokie]

Nice to see Reds fans still refuse to go to games. Touch over 18k tonight to see a team that is 10-3 at home. Have to think a good number are Cubs fans too, as always.

 

[JohnU]

It would be nice if this team scouted their opponents off and on.

 

[ckhokie]

did not see that coming.

 

[JohnU]

I had given up on this one, to be honest.

Nice.

 

[Smoke]

I had given up on this one, to be honest.

Nice.

I did. After the 2-run HR by the Cubs in the 13th I turned it to the Grizz/Clips game!!!
