ArmyBengal Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Ok, they are back home for a 4 game stand against the Braves and another 3 against the Rockies.For the Braves, this is who the Reds are sending to the mound:Monday- Leake (0-5) Isn't there anyone in AAA that can pitch better than this ??Tuesday- Latos (2-2)Wednesday- Arroyo (2-2)Thursday- Bailey (2-3)Lets win more than we lose !!!GO REDS !!!

UK Bengal Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 To come out of this with a 3-1 series win will be tough and yes I'm crediting the loss to leake.I'll take series split or better and I'm happy If latos, bailey and arroyo play like they have we have a good chance. Quote
skyline Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Leake hashad two quality starts lately, hasn't he? He's coming around...here's hoping the trend continues. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 The Reds are playing longball tonight!! Stubbs, Cozart, and even our pitcher Leake have gone yard so far!! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 Hold the phone!!! Stubbs did it again! Back to back to back dingers!! 4-1 Reds. Quote
Stripes Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 Leake has allowed one hit through six innings. It was a solo homer granted, but who cares. Quote
semiotter Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 This is a very good Atl club. They have been beating ev1. 3-1 would be super. And then the lowly Rockies come to town.....could be a good week. Reds are playing better. Quote

BengalszoneBilly Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 Uh... did the game go into rain delay or something? My feed on Sportsline halted 20 minutes ago. Quote
skyline Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 Leake has had two quality starts lately, hasn't he? He's coming around...here's hoping the trend continues.In this case, I'm very glad to say "I told you so", and I'm guessing you are all equally glad to hear it Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Posted May 22, 2012 Leake has had two quality starts lately, hasn't he? He's coming around...here's hoping the trend continues.In this case, I'm very glad to say "I told you so", and I'm guessing you are all equally glad to hear it And i'm very glad to take your "I told you so".I was on the verge of thinking, "When do they send him down to work on things" ??If he can maintain this momentum, it sure would be a pleasant situation for the starting rotation.Nice to see them get the win in the opener. Now keep it going Reds !!! Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 Hopefully Latos can continue to improve also. He seems to be slowly coming around. If he can put it together the rotation looks solidly above average and that is much better than it started the year. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Looks like Phillips has the hot bat tonight. Two homers netting three rbi's! 4-2 Reds! Quote
semiotter Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Billy you here Chapman got speeding ticket doing 93 mph in ohio with Sup Lic. OUCH!!! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Billy you here Chapman got speeding ticket doing 93 mph in ohio with Sup Lic. OUCH!!!I guess he was going that fast to find out how the ball feels when he throws it.***EDIT*** Now Chapman is in the game pitching in the top of the 9th. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 The Reds win again, and Chapman keeps his 0.00 ERA. I sweep of this series would be GREAT! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Posted May 23, 2012 They've taken the first 2 of the series ?? Yeah, i'm very happy to this point.They have been playing VERY solid ball all the way around. If you have seen any of those first two games, you will see a team that is playing the best they have all season. It's fun to see them playing tight games against a really good team and coming away with a win. Keep it coming Reds !!! Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 I'm hoping that they deal for Bret Meyers (Astros closer)or any vet closer with some milage left, and get Chapman in the rotation after the All-Star break.There is no way that the current SP's will go all season without some injury time. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Posted May 24, 2012 And the Reds make it 5 in a row tonight, taking the first 3 against the Braves.Chapman gets the win with Frazier hitting a walk off dinger.2-1 Reds in another very solid game.Wow, this team looks good right now !!! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Posted May 24, 2012 Oh yeah, Chapman is now 4-0 on the season from the bullpen !!! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 24, 2012 Report Posted May 24, 2012 Oh yeah, Chapman is now 4-0 on the season from the bullpen !!!And his ERA remains at 0.00! Freaking astounding. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Posted May 24, 2012 Bailey takes the mound tonight as the Reds go for the sweep.If I heard correctly, if the Reds sweep the Braves tonight, it would be the first time they had a 4 game sweep at home since like 1980 or some sh*t like that.Anyway around, i'm looking forward to watching the game tonight !!!GO REDS !!!
