ArmyBengal Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Do you need any further proof of the power of superstition ??2-1 Reds win with Cozart (yeah I said it Cozart) tying the game with an RBI single and Votto with a solo shot to put the Reds up 2-1.Cingrani went 6.1 innings, striking out 9 with Parra, LeCure, Broxton, and Chapman holding on for the win.It was just like old times seeing this team win a close one with good pitching and Votto hitting a dinger.I'm telling you, it's amazing what Broxton looks like when he's healthy.Best part ?? The Cards beat the Pirates again and the Reds are now just 2.5 back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yep, we're inching a little closer in every day it seems.We need to take care of business now, because we have a brutal stretch coming up:Cardinals - 3 (away)Rockies - 3 (away) - I know they have a losing record, but they've beaten up on some good teams this year, and I'd far prefer to play them at home.Cardinals - 4 (home)Dodgers - 3 (home)And, that doesn't count the series against the Diamondbacks coming up next.

ArmyBengal Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Indeed. This team needs to figure itself out and quick.As happy as I am with the way they are playing right now, I won't pretend the hitting is where it needs to be.They have struggled and gotten by. While that's good now, I can't see that lasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Great game last night.Right up until Chapman gives up a 2 run, walk off homer.Reds drop another game back and miss the chance to move into 2nd place as the Cards got pounded by the Cubs.

skyline Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yep, that was tough.I saw it coming, though. You can just tell when Chapman's not himself. Guess 5 outings in 6 nights wasn't such a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I said the same thing to my wife as we were watching.He was just missing badly and wasn't throwing as hard.You are right, you could see it coming.It happens, but boy that stings.
