Reds vs. Braves

[ArmyBengal]

They have only a couple of games with the Braves starting tonight with Bailey going today and Cueto tomorrow.

GO REDS !!!

Living in the south, surrounded by Braves fans, I hate this team so much.

Which is a shame, because the Reds nearly always seem to struggle with them. It makes the hate grow even stronger

I haven't lived in that part of the south, but I understand the hate.

The Reds always seem to struggle with them indeed.

Hope they have some success over these 2 games.

The Braves just finished smearing the Cardinals in St. Louis, so needless to say they're hot. This will be tough.

Bailey's pitched a very solid game tonight, and it's tied 1-1 going into the 7th. Hopefully the Reds can get to the bullpen and Dusty doesn't get greedy about keeping Bailey in too long.

[Stripes]

Dusty is such a damned moron.

I love Aroldis Chapman.

He mows through their hitters in the bottom of the 8th, and Dusty pinch hits for him in the top of the 9th.

I'd have left him in.

Very solid win, and honestly one I wasn't expecting. Hats off to Bailey for an awesome performance after the bad game in Milwaukee.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Nice start in Atlanta. Just 2 games out of 1st!

Hard not to love a pitcher who (per MLB.com) hasn't given up a run since September 10th of 2011!

How about 1.5 after the Cubbies dumped the Cards in St. Louis.

4 straight home losses for them. I guess they're human.

[ArmyBengal]

Giving credit where credit is due with a nice game by Bailey.

Nice to see Phillips get into the act with the shot last night.

Hoping to see Cueto take care of the Braves tonight !!!

Let hope their slide continues.

Easily his best outing of the year. I had this game marked down as a loss just due to Homer pitching on the road in Atlanta. Glad he came through.

You and me both...

[BengalszoneBilly]

Geez. Getting shellacked tonight. 5-0 Braves in the 4th. Neither pitching or hitting showed up for this game.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Welp, back to 2 & 1/2 games back again.

Frustrating, but I guess Cueto's bound to have an off night eventually.

[ArmyBengal]

That was frustrating. I thought the two nights would have been reversed.
