ArmyBengal Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 The Reds get back on the road and start a 3 game series tonight against the Astros.Latos, Leake, and Bailey take the mound in the series.The Astros are riding a 6 game losing streak and sitting in dead last in the Central.Here's to hoping the Reds don't overlook them and continue their winning ways.They need to because until the Pirates play us again, they face the Cubs, Astros, and Cubs again.I see their winning ways staying right where they are.GO REDS !!!

semiotter Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 This Astro team has no stars. They just traded their best Bullpen ace. And the Reds should pwn up on the happless Astros!!!! I don't know what Astro management is doing but the fans should sue them for lack of support!!!! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Posted July 24, 2012 Well, they do have Altuve at 2nd, but not much else. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Incredibly the Cubs sank the Pirates tonight 2-0. Way to go Chicago! Quote
Stripes Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 The Cards about to drop one to the Dodgers too, barring a catastrophe. Finish this win, Reds, and take full advantage. Quote
Stripes Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Finally the Reds get a some help on a day when they win. Even if it's only 1.5 games and it might not last long, it feels good.W. Rodriguez was definitely the best pitcher the Astros had to throw at the Reds, so hopefully we can take a road sweep. Leake vs. Harrell tomorrow looks pretty evenly matched though. The offense better show up again. Quote
UK Bengal Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 If we win tonight is that the 3rd or 4th time we will have hit 6 straight wins ? Quote
Stripes Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 That'll be the 4th time. Let's do it, and then finally break through for a 7th. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Even with last years MVP Votto out of the lineup, the Reds remain one of the hottest teams in MLB. This team has some depth to it. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Posted July 24, 2012 The Reds are again doing what they should in beating the teams they are suppose to beat.The difference this season ?? They are beating the teams many thought were better than them as well.Hope Leake has a solid outing tonight and the bats keep hitting.Nice to see both the Pirates and Cards lose for sure !!!GO REDS !!! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Posted July 25, 2012 2-1 Stros in the bottom of the 8th.The Reds need to get it done in the top of the 9th. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Posted July 25, 2012 HOLY SH*T, the Astros bring in freakin' Francisco Cordero in relief and he gave up a 2 run shot to Stubbs.Reds up 3-2 middle of the 9th.F*CK YEAH !!! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Posted July 25, 2012 What about Xavier Paul coming up and going 3-5 with 2 RBI's tonight for the Reds ??Gotta love that !!!4-2 Reds as Cordero gets yanked...Oh yeah, the Pirates lose again tonight !!! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Posted July 25, 2012 Bringing on Chapman to close it out. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Posted July 25, 2012 Reds win 4-2 with Chapman getting 3 strikeouts after the lead hitter reaches on an error.Nicely done Reds !!! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 To me the Reds are looking like the best team in baseball right now. Quote
UK Bengal Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 God I love waking up seeing the reds have won and going to work with a smile on my face Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Posted July 25, 2012 Dude, watching the game last night was great. I got home from classes around 10pm to find the Reds down 2-1 in the 7th.It wasn't looking good at that point, but knew you could never count them out and it was only a single run.I even made the comment here about them needing to get it done in the top of the 9th and then BAM, Stubbs homers.I think for me, the win was not the only fun part, but that it came at the expense of Cordero, who we had seen the same thing from many times when he was here as a Red. It was poetic justice for having to endure all the times he would come in a game and stress me the f*ck out.Anyway around, the Reds find themselves 2.5 games up on the Pirates and trying for not only the sweep tonight, but a 7 game winning streak. Oh yeah, if you weren't able to watch the game or see highlights, Xavier Paul was spot on last night. Not only did he go 3-5 with 2 RBI's, but he also had a stolen base, and made a nice play from the outfield in throwing out a guy going to 3rd. I don't know if he's the answer long term or not, but it looks like he's earned some more playing time. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Xavier Paul just appeared out of the blue. Never even heard of him until this week. Looks like he's off to a good start on making a name for himself though! Quote
UK Bengal Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Get to watch the games on MLB.tv when I'm off work or it's a weekend as most starts are midnight or 1am here and I'm up for 7am. Highlights are cool but nothing beats watching a clutch bomb to win the game in the 9th live Quote
skyline Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 As soon as Cordero came in my hopes for a comeback increased dramatically. I feel bad for the guy and felt that he got too much heat from fans while in Cincy, but was happy to be on the other side of his blown save for a change.And here's hoping Xavier can keep impressing. I was so happy when they brought him up instead of giving Costanza (sp?) another chance. Quote
Stripes Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Agreed, Skyline. I think we've seen more than enough of Mike Costanzo and Willie Harris this season. It's nice to see Paul making himself useful.Hopefully Bailey can win this favorable pitching matchup tonight and get the Reds to that elusive 7th straight win they missed out on during the last three 6 game winning streaks (saying that feels so good). Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 The Reds have won 13 of their last 15 games! On a roll baby. Quote
UK Bengal Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 We have 4 6 game win streaks no other team has more than 2 Come on you 7th straight tonight Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 We have 4 6 game win streaks no other team has more than 2 Come on you 7th straight tonight I can see them getting their second straight series sweep tonight, but even if they don't, winning six out of every seven games for the rest of the year doesn't bother me a bit.
