ArmyBengal Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Today is the start of a 9 game homestand and the Phillies are in for the first 3.The Reds have Cueto, Latos, and Leake going in the series.It's to a point now where i'm no longer concerned with what the Cardinals and Pirates are doing, but more to whether we get homefield advantage.Early start time today of 1:10 EST if the rain holds up.GO REDS !!!

BengalszoneBilly Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Damn. The Reds go down in flames on Labor Day 4-2. Looks like the Cards are going to cut the lead to 8 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I think Joey played in Louisvilles last gametoday. He will be a welcome site back.He did. Apparently, the question is whether or not Votto feels he's ready to come back. He's meeting with the Reds today to see where he is and how he feels and then they'll decide from there.

ArmyBengal Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Fortunately, the team is playing well enough to allow Joey to take his time and not rush back.If they were struggling, I could see the possibility of rushing him back and getting injured further.Just keep playing well Reds !!!

redsbengalsbucks Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Votto has officially been activated, but is not in th starting lineup tonight...This is very dumb, if he is ready activate him and play him. If not leave him rehab without taking up space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Reds win 2-1 last night. Latos walks in a single run and then was good from there on out.Bruce makes a highlight play in the corner of RF and then hits a 2 run shot as well.Nice to see him playing well again.On some side notes:Last night pushed the Reds over the 2 million mark for the season, which is the fastest they have gotten there since GABP opened.Andy Dalton and AJ Green were the battery throwing out the first pitch before the game last.In regards to Votto, he will be playing today and answering most peoples prayers, Phillips will be the leadoff hitter.For those following, today is an early start at 12:35 EST.On another side note, I think it's interesting that Baker said he pulled Bruce to let him think things out a little bit before going on his current hitting display (homers in 3 straight games now) where before he has let players stay in the lineup and try to "hit their way out of the streak". Make of that what you will... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Well, forget the game today. Leake is pitching like a Single A guy.More importantly, let's see how Votto looks. After the first inning, it doesn't seem like much has changed. Votto gets a hit and it counts for absolutely nothing, because the two guys in front of him can't get on. Here's hoping having Phillips in the lead spot changes that eventually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Yeah 6-0 Phillies isn't a good way to start things off.Leake has given up 2 dingers to this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earendil Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 These guys have some kind of mental block when it comes to the Phillies. Thank goodness they aren't making the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness they aren't making the playoffs.Well I don't know what's happened to the team lately. They're just not clicking as they should heading into the playoffs.

ArmyBengal Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Votto went 2-3 with a walk today, so at least there is that.Outside of that and another Bruce homer, Leake got buttf*cked in front of the home crowd today.
