ArmyBengal Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 They kick off a 3 game series against the Cubs today at 2:20pm (EST).Bailey takes the mound (Oh Good God) against Volstad (equally crappy).After this road series, the Reds kickoff a 9 game homestand.The last time I said this, it worked against the Reds, but....A series win here would really help things out heading home. A sweep would be huge.GO REDS !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsbengalsbucks Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Why cant any of our pitchers get a bunt down? It is getting silly. Hey Baker, maybe some extra time practicing bunting would help.Cozart and Stubbs pick Bailey up this time, so far so good today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Baker, maybe some extra time practicing bunting would help.Cozart and Stubbs pick Bailey up this time, so far so good today.Bailey's been pitching well today. The two runs were both unearned thanks to poor defense.That said, it IS the Cubs. If you can't pitch well against them, then your days in this league are severely numbered.

Horrible fundamental baseball, good pitching today though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Good job, Reds. It's nice to see the offense put something together without Votto having to be right at the center of it.Yeah it's the Cubs, but the 2010 team made the playoffs by beating the crappy ones and winning on the road.

ArmyBengal Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Nice to see them go out and hit the ball nicely throughout the entire game.Sometimes beating the hell out of a crappier team can do wonders for your state of mind.Here's to seeing some more of that this weekend !!!

UK Bengal Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Well the bats have woken up I know it's the cubs but this same cub team beat the cardinals 8-0 and it's actually surprising me that homer has performed well.Chapman was just clutch as he has been this year roll on game 2 today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he is needed in the next 2 games in a row? We already know he is not the same pitcher throwing 3 days straight. I wish they had tried another bullpen option in the 8th, just to try and get some other RP's some confidence built up and save Chapman for the close games.At least Baker didnt run Marshall out there in the 9th, also.

cincyhokie Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 The consistently inconsisent play of the Reds returns. I'm less worried about Mike Leake and more worried about this team scoring only one run in a game for the 7th time in 15 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
