ArmyBengal Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Here we go with the Yankees in town for a 3 game series and Cueto starts things off tonight.We are sitting just two games behind the Brewers and Cards who are tied at the top.The Brewers start their series with the Devil Rays and the Cards are playing the Phillies.The Reds just need to relax and try to get the series opener tonight. They just seem to do better when getting the opening win in a series.Hopefully Cueto is feeling it tonight and brings his "A" game, because I would love to see them beat up on the Yankees !!!GO REDS !!!

Stripes Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I really hope the Reds can give Cueto some runs tonight. Johnny is clearly our best pitcher right now, but I really don't want him working with just 1 or 2 runs when he has to turn it over to the bullpen.

ArmyBengal Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Cueto gets scratched from the start and Travis Wood is in.He promptly gives up a bunch of hits and the Reds find themselves down again early.1-0 Yankees with 2 on and 1 out.

ArmyBengal Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I don't know if Wood has a case of the jitters going against the Yankees with no notice, but he looks like he's done already.No control whatsoever. Hanigan gives him a target low and away and Wood throws it right down the pipe.Hope this gets better, but I think it won't.4-0 Yankees middle of 1st.

ArmyBengal Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 They got one run back in the bottom of the 1st with a Phillip's RBI single, but Votto hit into a double play ball and Bruce didn't get a hit to end it.I just think Wood will continue to give up hits through his outing tonight.Final score 7-3 Yankees.

cincyhokie Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Reds played scared from the start. Odd how a team comes home from a good road trip to 4 straight packed houses and completely look flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Well, that really sucked.They looked like a team that knew in their mind they were outmatched before the game even started.Like they had mentally conceded the loss.You just aren't going to come back from a 4-0 deficit against the Yankees that often.Maybe tonight !!!

cincyhokie Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Sadly, I am at the point where I want them to tank. What they are putting on the field right now is at best a .500 team and will give them 3rd place. A further slide (which I am rooting for) may get Walt to suck up his pride and make some changes that could propel this team in the standings.Here's for a sweep by the Yankees (hate admitting that).

BengalszoneBilly Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 The Reds really needed this win tonight with the 1st place Brewers losing. The Cardinals are trailing against Philly, so this could be a big boost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Well at least they didn't waste a dominant outing by Cueto. WIN CONSISTENTLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
