agreen_112 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 And they failed pt. 1. Cueto looked great again, but man...the bats do worry me a little.NO doubt, our guys are in a slump. But when it comes to pitching, the Brewers are pretty good. Cuetto did a great job, matter of fact, he did an excellent job. I love his attitude also. He wants to win EVERY game. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 NO doubt, our guys are in a slump.BREAKING NEWS!!! Slump is OVER!!! Reds win 12-4! Quote
duus Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 As frustrating/disappointing as last night's game was, tonight's game was very enjoyable. Once we gave up the lead with that 2 run error, it seemed everyone came alive. A very nice night for our Redlegs. Now to take the series tomorrow. Quote
WhoDey93285 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Surprising start by Fogg tonight. Nice to see the bats wake up.Corey Patterson is proving his haters wrong. He's been great so far.Harangatang goes tomorrow afternoon for the series win.Go Reds! Quote
agreen_112 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Had to break out one of my Griffey jerseys today... He looks like he's having a really great time this year and his bat is really starting to come out. The smile on his face when he laid that bunt down third baseline two days again was priceless. Teams will start to think twice about putting the shift on him now, LOL. GO REDS! Quote
skyline Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Posted April 10, 2008 It's always nice to see Griffey hit well.I wish we could take 7 of our runs from last night and spread them throughout the series. That would be wonderful As a side note, it was nice to see Fogg pitch so well last night. His last outing was horrendous to say the least. Quote
agreen_112 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 My favorite time of the year.... Baseball season is here, the weather's beautiful, the Reds are on the radio and I'm at work in my office listening in. Wish I was at the game, but it really doesn't get much better than this! Brewers are up 1-0 going into the top of the 4th. Quote
WhoDey93285 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Our ace, Harang, goes 8 and gives 1 run. EDWIN homers and the Reds win 4-1. CoCo Cordero had a perfect ninth in which he was absolutely filthy, hitting 98 twice on the gun (according to Gameday). 6-4 and a series win to start the road trip.Niiiice. Quote

Good stuff.Now let's not go blow all that hard work by letting the Pirates steal a series from us. Quote
kentjett Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the reds pitching staff finishes in the top ten and maybe even top five. The reds have 3 starters that have potential to be #1's and they all are strikeout pitchers. Arroyo is a solid #4 and Fogg is a weak link but it doesn't matter when you have 3 dominant pitchers. We have power pitchers throughout the staff. It sure beats Milton being the #1 pitcher and Graves saving the game. Cueto can throw 98, Volquez 98-99, Cordero 98, Burton 95 and Coffey at 95. This team can make a run if Fogg can grab 10 wins or more. It's been a long time since I could root for the reds to actually win after the first half of the season and I think this is the year. Quote
skyline Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Posted April 11, 2008 I'm going to wait and see how the young pitchers do when they start seeing teams for a 2nd and 3rd time, but overall, yeah. There's plenty of reason to be optimistic. Quote

There's plenty of reason to be optimistic.These guys are young and the season is very very early... OTOH, they throw straight FIRE! Kudos to the Reds for finally bringing in some heat! Quote
WhoDey93285 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 The thing about Cueto and Volquez is this: There is no getting familiar to them. Unlike Reds pitchers of the past, who didn't have great stuff and got pounded the second and third time around, if Cueto and Volquez hit their spots and throw strikes, with the stuff they have, they'll be no getting familiar with them. They'll keep missing bats. Quote
