ArmyBengal Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 A 3 game home series starting Friday evening with Leake, Latos, and Arroyo taking the mound.After this series, it's 7 more on the road with the Braves, Mets, and Yankees.They need to keep pace with the Cards, because oddly enough, they don't face them again until the 2nd half of the season in mid July.GO REDS !!!

Stripes Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Leake had better be out of his funk, because he's up against Gio Gonzalez and his 1.72 ERA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I saw that as well Billy and thought that was some pretty good planning on the scheduling part of things.I'd like to see them do well against all teams, but especially the Yankees. I really don't care for them much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 It's time for Chapman to take Leake's spot in the rotation.I love having Chapman come in at clutch times, but watching Leake pitch is just too painful to handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just worried about their injury depleted bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Yeah, I get that, I was just saying.The bullpen is hurting and would be worse with Chapman's departure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'll always believe a strong rotation is a bigger benefit than a strong bullpen. Leake has pitched in the bullpen before so it would be a logical switch. I understand the Reds unwillingness to try it though given the circumstances.

Stripes Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Rolen heads to the DL for a bad shoulder. Frazier and Cairo get the nod I'm sure, hopefully they can bolster the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Reds blow an opportunity with a man on second with no outs in the bottom of the 7th and come away with nothing.Still 2-1 Nats... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Tough couple of games. It's hard to squander good pitching like that, but the Nats have some of the best pitching/defense in the league so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Make that 3! Walk-off Grand Slam, anyone? Oh, man, I would have loved to be at that game! I'm still going over the box score on MLB.com. Without Joey, it appears we're lucky we weren't swept, and even picked up a game on the Cards who got hammered by Atlanta!Just 2.5 games out. Not too bad, but things aren't gonna get any easier. Atlanta for two games, then on to New York for two against the Mets and three against the Yankees. This road trip will speak volumes about this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
