Reds Tidbits (2008 season)

I think Upton just made cueto angry. He's sitting them down.

Weathers in for the 8th and has walked the bases loaded after getting 1 out, Mike Lincoln coming in.

Would hate to see Cueto's 1 run, 1 hit, 10K effort wasted.

Lincoln lets in 1 but gets out of the jam. 3-2 Reds keep lead going into the bottom of the 8th.

"And this one belongs to the Reds!" Cordero notches his first save. Cueto was extremely impressive in his debut.

Wow! Your feed must be faster than mine. I just heard it and you'd already posted. Congrats to Cueto on a tremendous debut!

LOL, listening to the Big One 700 WLW here in Cincy. I guess living 5 miles from the ballpark has its benefits.

John Candy quote "and the Reds have there longest winning streak of the season.............two"
Reds = Cubs name the movie

Woo Hoo! Tied for the division lead. Nowhere to go but down!

Cueto is filthy. It's going to be a real joy watching him pitch for four months before Dusty Baker overworks him and he blows out his elbow.

sure it does, on 8/30/08 its all better no matter whats happened to the Reds.

Krimcheck is licking his chops. Dusty believes that pitch counts are for sissies. Walter Johnson threw 300 pitches in 2 days and was fine.

 

[Buckeyedynasty]

Another win for the Reds. 2-1 so far against a good team. Keep it going fellas. GO REDLEGS!!!

Deadspin

According to my calculations, the last pitcher to strike out 10 in his Major League debut was Daisuke Matsuzaka, last season. The last one to throw five perfect innings in his debut was the immortal Ken Cloude, in 1997 (do you know the team?). And the last Cincinnati Red to do either was ... well, no one.

Cueto sensational in big league debut

Reds righty loses perfect game in sixth amid 10-strikeout gem

CINCINNATI -- Not even Mother Nature could mess with Johnny Cueto.

Steady rain pelted away at Great American Ball Park on Thursday afternoon, but not enough to stop a game. The Diamondbacks kept swinging away, but they could not stop Cueto, either.
As far as Major League debuts go, they rarely get more sensational. The 22-year-old Cueto pitched seven innings -- retiring the first 15 batters he faced -- and struck out 10 in the Reds' 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks. It gave Cincinnati two out of three in the season's first series.

"Boy, that is some debut there," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "The way he threw the ball today has no age to it."
