ArmyBengal Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 Ok, so they got swept by the Brewers. I made the comment in the other thread that they play well at home, so I'm still ok seeing as how we are only 3.5 out and 1 behind the Cardinals who we start a 4 game series against tonight. Volquez gets the start tonight followed by Arroyo, Cuetto, and Harang. It was mentioned before that the pitching staff can't keep giving up runs like that and I will agree, but at the same time, the Reds can't afford to go 3-16 with runners in scoring position the way they did against the Brewers. Votto being out isn't going to help that situation, but I believe they did the right thing in putting him on the DL. Get better now and move on knowing they are going to have to make a push after the break anyway.The Brewers are starting a 4 game series against the Marlins, so the Reds can't afford to get swept against the Cardinals here. They haven't done real well as of late playing IN St. Louis, so here's to hoping their fortunes change and Volquez is feeling recharged after coming off the DL.Go Reds !!! Quote
skyline Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 I'm almost scared to watch. The last series was just so painful. Quote

ArmyBengal Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Posted June 2, 2009 Yep, the Brewers took the loss, so that certainly helps matters with us winning at this point in time... Quote

ArmyBengal Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Posted June 2, 2009 I hope they can figure out what's up with Volquez. It's amazing how our bullpen made it happen after he left in the first. You have to love seeing that when playing a team like the Cardinals. Arroyo gets the start tonight, so lets hope they can keep the winning ways !!! Quote

redsfan2 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 ................ well, everybody kinda knew that this wasn't going to be an easy trip going in. Only salvable point of the evening is that Florida handed the Brewers their butts again, so we didn't fall any and the Cards gained a game. Tomorrows another day. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Posted June 3, 2009 Now if we can win tonight and the Brewers lose again, I will be smiling !!! Quote

BengalszoneBilly Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Getting two out of three from St. Louis ain't bad. Nix was awesome getting two homers! Quote
redsfan2 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Getting this win tonight after last nights disapointment was huge !One more at St. Louis and then Chicago comes to town. Brewers won tonight as well, so we didn't gain on them ..... but we are cutting into St. Loius' lead. Hopefully we can make it 3 out of 4 tomorrow night. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Posted June 5, 2009 I'll take the series split with the Cards playing IN St. Louis, but am a bit disappointed that we had the chance to win the series 3 of 4 and didn't.Oh well, on to the Cubs... Quote
