Reds Tidbits (2008 season)

6 games in and the bullpen has given up at least 1 run in all of them. The numbers don't look bad (19-2/3 IP, 14H, 6 BB, 7ER, 16K, 3.20 ERA), but I wouldn't mind seeing the bullpen shut someone out in a close game.

Well, the bullpen gave you a shutout today. 3-1/3 scoreless innings pitched by Affeldt, Coffey & Mercker. Unfortunately their peformance came in relief of Arroyo's Home Run Derby.

Jay Bruce with a triple and a homer tonight so far in AAA...

Playing CF.

I just don't get it, if he is JR's replacement next year he needs to be in RF. If he can play MLB quality CF he needs to be doing it in Cincy, not L'ville.

Cueto looking good again. 1 run though 4, and that's because Dunn kicked the ball around when a decent throw could have got the runner at the plate. Of course, the Reds can't figure out Suppan so far.


Fucking Brewers playing small ball and gloving everything in site. That would be like us beating someone that way....extremely unusual.

I swear we just are not meant to win up there.

More disturbing is the fact that we cant score against Jeff frickin Suppan. That guy has high school stuff but is shutting us out. Placement is the key against our Reds. If you dont miss with a fast ball right over the heart of the plate, you'll roll all night. Awful.

On a brighter note, obviously theres Cueto, but Joey Votto with a multi-hit night is good to see. Dunn's been robbed all night. Maybe one of those will get in here in the next 3 innings.

Holy shit. A manufactured run for the Reds! Good at bat Mr. Patterson.

Ha. Then he gets caught stealing. Not terrible imo. Kepp leads off the next inning and if he makes that Kepp could drive in the go ahead run. At least we're trying to do something.
