Stripes Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I think they're at least slowing down after their crazy April, but I don't think the fast start is over yet. Even in recent losses, we've pitched well for the most part, and that's the key.Once, if ever, we return to giving up 5 runs in the first two innings of every game, I'll say it's over.

redsfan2 Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 D'backs are a good team, and have been on a hot streak of their own. Arroyo was bound to lose one sooner or later .... and they had ..... how many errors the other nite ??? Couple of bad games on the road against a good team. Let's see how they bounce back against the Nats before we start kicking the dirt on them. They are still in first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 D'backs are a good team, and have been on a hot streak of their own.That's for sure. I know. I live out here in Arizona, and of course fed a steady diet of Diamondbacks baseball on the tube. I knew the Reds might have a hard time against Arizona, because just like with the Atlanta Braves, they're just one of those teams Cincy consistently has a hard time beating year in and year out. I wish I knew why! I'll wait to see how well they hold up after the All Star break before passing judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotter Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 They did win Sunday and ARIZ. and THE Rockies have been playing good ball so far this season. They have been a suprise this year like the Reds.....So I agree with Billy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkendall Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 i think so. what do u all think?DITTY!! What's up bro?Our offense is in a slump. Guys like Freel and Dunn are clearly struggling (except for Dunn's Sunday performance) and defense is bad again. I think our pitching is still strong. We're just missing Jr. right now. Need his presence and bat back in the lineup. One thing we know is that Freel is NOT an everyday guy. He needs a lot of time off to keep that high energy going.

CBin2k7 Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Kirk you are right about Freel, he is not an everyday player. He gets exposed when he has to play everyday.I am still very impressed, give the Reds credit, they just went through a buzzsaw of a week, 3 games vs Astros, 2 vs Cards, 2 vs Rockies and 3 vs D-backs... (combined record 76-51), with a lot of travel, Cincy to Denver, Denver to Phoenix, finished 6-4 with an injured Griffey and Aurilia, and the team had ZERO days off.Well deserved rest, let's get at the Nats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hopefully Felipe Lopez is done with his long slump now, after that 4-5 night on Sunday. If we can hit more consistently at the top of the order (I think Freel is slumping too, he should be alright), then it should only help the bigger hitting guys.Boy was I wrong about Austin Kearns! He might be the best all around offensive player on the team (if these first 32 games are any indication), except when Griffey is at his best. See ya Wily Mo.

MacD BengalFan Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Coming back to earth is not a bad thing. It needs to happen every now and then to good teams. It is how the team responds that will determine the character of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 They did win Sunday and ARIZ. and THE Rockies have been playing good ball so far this season.

Go Giants (except Barry ), whoop the Astros! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Well, while back home for the past week, I watched a couple games with my dad and at least we are still in first. Arroyo was going to lose at some point and the guys that are slumping will come back around I think. It's always nice seeing the Astros lose, so that's something to be happy about !!! Lets go sweep the Nats now !!!WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Lets go sweep the Nats now !!!Scratch that. Why do I feel more confident going into a Reds game with Dave Williams on the mound than Brandon Claussen? That's not to say either of them puts a smile on my face. 2 outta 3!

jditty47 Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 yay they stopped their 5 game losing streak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hopefully that'll start a little winning streak. While they've been slumping, the Cardinals and Astros haven't done much to take advantage... So we're still in good shape. The pitching already looks like it's starting to struggle though, and that's a bad sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Well, we can hope for a winning streak of our own, but we are playing in Detroit 27-13 and have a winning streak of 7 going on right now...WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
