ArmyBengal Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Well, the Reds have the day off today and then they start up a 3 game series AT the Padres on Friday.I guess it depends on how you want to look at this series. The Padres are the first place team in the West and are fighting for their lives. They will be looking to do as well as they can against the Reds in order to stay in the race. The Reds are all but done for the NL Central and are already resting some players.I would like to see the Reds really do well in this series. I think it would give them a confidence boost in not only beating another 1st place team, but to do it on the road, and on the West coast, where they usually play poorly.GO REDS !!!

BengalszoneBilly Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 The Padres have been in a slump lately, so I feel we're catching them at a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I would be hard pressed to consider any time as a "good time" for the Reds to head to the West Coast.They just always seem to struggle whenever they make a trip out there.Here's to hoping that changes this series.Since it's been so long since the Reds have been in this situation, I'm kind of wondering how much goes into strategy at the end of the season when you know you are going to the playoffs, but play a part in who it is you might face ?? I'm not saying any team would lose on purpose, as I think that is more detrimental, but maybe play others and not worrying about taking the loss.Just thinking...

Stripes Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 The Reds would be well advised to play to win this series, IMO. Continued losing from the three NL West contenders would mean that the eventual NL West champion would have to play Philly while the Reds would host Atlanta. I greatly prefer that to the alternative with the Reds going to Philly themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Stubbs with the homer. Reds up 1-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 The Reds are up 1-0 in tonight's game, but I see that Votto is out of the lineup for the second consecutive game. Wassup with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Ray Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 The Reds are up 1-0 in tonight's game, but I see that Votto is out of the lineup for the second consecutive game. Wassup with that? I really don't know what it is about a sinus infection that keeps you from playing baseball. Would we accept that from Carson Palmer? I think they're babying him a little here and they're confident in winning the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Palmer plays once a week. It makes more sense to let a guy rest in baseball for a few days if not all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I watched highlights this morning on ESPN and when Chapman hit 105, you could hear the collective "ooooooooh" come over the crowd.To bad they couldn't win the game.In regards to the sinus infection, I had one two weeks ago that was so bad, I couldn't open my eyes for 2 days.Someone had to take me to the doctor, pick up my antibiotics, and then dump my ass in bed.If his was near that bad, I understand.It will be alright...

ArmyBengal Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I just don't want to see the Reds get swept in the playoffs and them stumbling their way into it, doesn't make me feel good about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 The Reds starting pitching has been sketchy over the last month (hell, the bullpen too). Philadelphia would be a nightmare, I fear.I'm not confident in Arroyo, Cueto, Volquez, or Wood to win a playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
