BengalszoneBilly Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Reds win! 20-16, feeling better.I'd feel better if Chicago would have held the lead in their game against St. Louis. Still only a game back in a very long season, so things are still looking quite good! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 I'm really happy for Bailey starting off so well after his injury and even happier for the Reds.They go for the sweep today in an early afternoon game. Quote
skyline Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Chapman's starting to concern me. You can't be a reliever OR a starter if you can't get the ball over the plate... Quote
Sea Ray Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Chapman's starting to concern me. You can't be a reliever OR a starter if you can't get the ball over the plate...Exactly. He's not the answer if he can't throw strikes. He's not a major league pitcher right now. I doubt whether here is the place for him to work out his difficulties. He looked Steve Blass-like wild the last couple of times Quote
Sea Ray Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Also, all five of those hits were singles. No Astros made it to second base.There were two Astros on in the 7th inning. That's the only inning a runner reached 2nd Quote
Stripes Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Speaking of having no control whatsoever, Volquez has walked 5 batters through 2.1 IP. Quote
skyline Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Speaking of having no control whatsoever, Volquez has walked 5 batters through 2.1 IP.Yeah, it's frustrating to watch. Volquez hasn't made such a great case for a big pay day next season. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 And still 3-1 Astros in the top of the 7th.BOOOOOOOO !!! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 Check that, 3-2 Astros after a Heisey solo shot.CHECK THAT AGAIN...Back to back homers by Heisey and Stubbs, ties it.3-3... Quote
Stripes Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Leake is having a little trouble finding the strike zone in the 9th. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 Have to give more credit to Pence for that hit.Leake threw a pitch low and outside and Pence just went down for it and hit it to the opposite field.Kudos to him.Reds win the series. Quote
Stripes Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 I believe it. I've been relying on espn gamecasts and radio broadcasts all year, so I can't see the specifics. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Reds win the series.Again they take two out of three. Fine and dandy with me. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Posted May 12, 2011 They should have swept, but it's hard to argue with series wins.Something about winning more than you lose huh ??Good stuff... Quote
Sea Ray Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Nice to win 2 out of three. I don't think any of us are arguing that they've hit their stride. They need Rolen back and I think Volquez may need a wake up call like to AAA or the bullpen so he knows we ain't gonna put up with this s**t all year. I'd like to see Heisey get a few starts in a row in LF too. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 Let's see if we can take two out of three from the Cardinals in the next series! Quote
