ArmyBengal Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 They don't get any time off after getting beat the f*ck up by the Phillies and start a 3 game series against the 40-44 Mets.Arroyo gets back up on the horse tonight and hopefully he has a solid outing. He's 0-3 in his last 3 starts with a 10.29 ERA.Bruce got the bench for 2 games after his BA dropped to .209. Dusty tried to give some advice for Bruce about taking some time to watch and Bruce disagreed with the decision saying he could come out of his slump in the next game. Well, I think Bruce is being a little immature with his comments, but understand he probably wants to fight through it. I agree with Dusty on something here.Go Reds...

HoTbOy Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 The Mets need this series bad, we have 6-7 people out on the DL, and we got pummeled by the Dodgers and Phils, so we need to beat up on the Reds to stay in contention... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Arroyo throws a complete game shutout!?! Either the Mets really suck, or other teams are much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 God did Arroyo need that or what ?? Good for him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 And the follow that up with a 4-0 loss tonight. Cueto picks up another loss while giving up 4 earned runs over 5 innings of work.That beating must still be in his head.Bruce broke his right wrist in the 1st inning as well so that can't be good even thought he's only hitting .207.Things just aren't getting any better for the Reds injury wise.

ArmyBengal Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 And they drop the deciding game in the series 9-7. Harang can't get by the 3rd inning after giving up 5 earned runs in that time.Votto gets ejected after arguing his second strikeout. Weathers came in to continue the suck in giving up 2 runs of his own.Oh well, on to the All Star game.They come back afterwards to start a 4 game series against the Brewers, then 3 at the Dodgers, and 3 at the Cubs. A difficult 10 games coming out of the break. It will go far to determine how they will probably finish the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 It will go far to determine how they will probably finish the season.The way I see it, that's already been determined. Out of the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Since I only saw them as an outside shot at the wildcard, I can't say as I'm suprised. The things that keep me on the "not sold yet" side of things is the fact Volquez hasn't come back yet. If he can come back healthy and produce where we expect, that goes a long way. If Harang can figure out what the hell his issue is, that would help as well. If the team can somehow figure out how not to be so inconsistent at the plate, that would also not be a bad thing.Teams get hot all the time and it is only the half way point, so with the long season, anything can happen. We haven't seen that type of play from the Reds in a very long time, but I honestly believe this team has that potential. The question is, will they realize it ?? I'm still thinking they won't make the playoffs, but I'm still thinking they will be better than last year.Sort of like the Bengals...

redsbengalsbucks Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Not a good series, with the Mets beat up 2 out of three was a must.They had better start the second half hot or they will be out of it by the end of July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Exactly why I think the first 10 after the break will be so important RBB. They have to get started quick.Hopefully there will be some good news with Volquez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
