ArmyBengal Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 The Reds are on the road for the next two series, starting tonight in St. Louis.Latos throws tonight with Arroyo and Bailey following up for the next two games.I'm hoping to keep the winning going and take at least two of these three.Then again, I would be happy just to see them keep winning these series matchups.Keep taking 2 of 3 and an occasional sweep.That's not asking too much right ??GO REDS !!!

ArmyBengal Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just realized all the talk of the Cards game was happening in the Nationals thread.So let me repeat:Nothing like seeing the Reds beat the hell out of the Cardinals.Yeah, Choo had a rough night in center field, but you have to love his short term memory in coming back to have some big hits after making some bonehead plays. Many players would let that crap stick in their heads and ruin the rest of their night.He ended up going 2-5 with 3 RBI's. He's batting freakin' .379 with an OPB of .514.While I don't like those errors, i'm more than ok with Choo.He's a difference maker for us at the top of the order.If he keeps playing like this, the Reds will face a real decision in letting him leave and having Hamilton take his spot.Maybe a move to left after resigning ?? I'm just loving his production !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yes, Choo has been great. And, once Votto heats up, Choo's OBP will make the Reds just that much more deadly. Votto always starts slowly, so this is no surprise at all, but it's hard seeing him strand all those runners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 God forbid Hannigan starts hitting at the bottom of the order.I think that will happen sooner or later as well.As for decision making, how about taking Cozart out of the game and bringing in Paul to pinch hit and him delivering ??

I was jumping out of my chair when I saw him make that move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Now, if they could just get Leake to not suck out there, that would be very nice.Then again, complaining about your 5th starter is a nice problem to have.They also have Cingrani they could give a shot to as well.

More than you want to see, but it's not something this team can't overcome. For a 5th starter to come out, eat up some innings, and give up 3-4 runs...that's not a bad thing at all. It's those days where he gives up 7-8 in a hurry that make you bang your head against a wall. But, to be fair, Arroyo is equally prone to days like that.

Stripes Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I didn't even notice I'd been posting in the wrong thread yesterday. Anyways, I like Arroyo in this matchup with Lynn. Hopefully he can come through and get us game two, because it'd be fantastic to enter game three with a chance to sweep and Bailey on the mound.

ArmyBengal Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 No issue on where things are posted, I just found it odd that I continued when I was the one starting the thread.Anyway, yeah i'm hopeful for Arroyo tonight as well.

He and Leake both frustrate me to no end, but that's alright. If the Reds can go .500 in games like they had last night, then their overall season is going to be incredible. Very excited to see Bailey take the mound tonight. I'll probably jinx it by saying this, but he may be the new ace of this rotation.Oh...and one positive to last night is that our bullpen got a nice break. I hate that it came at the cost of a win, but at least there's a silver lining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
