ArmyBengal Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 They continue the west coast trip with the Padres tonight.Volquez is back on the mound for the series opener.Good God he needs a quality start !!!GO REDS !!! Quote
Stripes Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 If Volquez eats dirt in the first inning again, especially against one of the slowest-starting offenses in baseball... I'm feeling good anyways, because this offense can clobber anyone any night. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Posted April 11, 2011 I love how the team looks for the long haul of the season and really think they will be right there come seasons end.They seem to just have a little more experience and the young guys are really coming along.I'm also really looking forward to how things come along with some of the pitchers that have been dealing with injuries.

Stripes Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Well, Volquez only gave up two runs in the first inning. Celebration! Still 2-0 Padres in the 3rd. Quote
Stripes Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Reds take a 3-2 lead after a Heisey 2 run shot (and a solo shot by Gomes last inning) in the 5th. Quote
Stripes Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Cordero is out to attempt the save. C'mon baby. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Well, Volquez only gave up two runs in the first inning. It appears impossible for him to escape the 1st inning unscathed, but to his credit he settles down and pitches well in later innings.Reds take a 3-2 lead after a Heisey 2 run shot (and a solo shot by Gomes last inning) in the 5th.You can't say this team isn't exciting!

ArmyBengal Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Posted April 12, 2011 You have to lvoe the production they are getting from so many different players.They just plug a guy in and POW, you see homeruns, solid hitting, and good defense.They still have a lot of talent in the minors as well.How many d*mn catchers does this team have by the way ??Like 4 potential major league catchers.LeCure is pitching in tonights game and I'm hoping to see another win !!!

Sea Ray Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 If Volquez eats dirt in the first inning again, especially against one of the slowest-starting offenses in baseballIs it just me or would none of those SD Padres crack our starting lineup? Quote
Stripes Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 2-1 Reds after a little small ball in the 5th. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 2-1 Reds after a little small ball in the 5th.LeCure's pitch count is over 70. Time to start warming up the bullpen just in case. Quote
Stripes Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 LeCure finishes with 6 IP and one ER allowed. Awesome.Chapman's out now and he looks better than last time when he was a bit wild. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Chapman's out now and he looks better than last time when he was a bit wild.He smoked 'em in the bottom of the 7th! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Here we go into extra innings!! Quote
Stripes Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Going into the 11th after the Reds escape a bases loaded jam for the second straight inning. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Going into the 11th after the Reds escape a bases loaded jam for the second straight inning. WHEW!!! That was close! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Hell Yeah! Hanigan doubles home Gomes! Quote
Stripes Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 After all those nails I just chewed off, it's 8-2 in the 11th. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 After all those nails I just chewed off, it's 8-2 in the 11th. What an awesome inning!!! Quote
Stripes Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 What a fantastic baseball game, holy crap. Those three defensive plays in the 8th, 9th, and 10th were all life-savers (Phillips, Bruce, Gomes respectively). That barehand play by Phillips might win him another gold glove all by itself. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Votto scores the 1st run of the night for the Reds, then doubles in the second for the 2-0 lead. Lets get the series sweep tonight! Quote
