Reds tidbits (2010 season)

[Jaxbuck]

Donkey helping the Reds tonight. 2B, HR, 5 RBI as the Nats lead StL 8-5.

If he would just learn to choke up on the bat and slap at it with 2 outs he might be worth a damn some day.

come on Reds, Masset with strong showing yet again....bot 8, still down by 1

First pitch swinging is killing them tonight.

 

[Bucknut24]

well, at least wash is up 14-5 against stl

 

[Dryden]

Nats have broken it open against StL in the 8th.

 

[Bucknut24]

makes this loss a little bit more frustrating knowing we coulda gone up 5 games

 

[Dryden]

Reds now 3-4 over their last 7. Gotta put the pedal to the floor and bury the Cardinals here boys.

Cards lose 14-5, dropping another series to a losing club. They've swept the Reds and took a series against the Giants, but have lost series against the Cubs, Brewers, Pirates, and Nationals. 5-1 versus winning clubs, 3-8 against the dregs.

In whiny bitch news, Cards are up in arms over a bull rush in the vicinity of home plate by Nijer Morgan to take out Anderson who had his back turned and had given up on the play (there was not going to be a play at the plate). It was a pretty classless move by Morgan, who went so far out of his way to elbow Anderson in the back that he had to scramble back to touch home plate. Still funny the Cards (and their fans) are complaining.

If elbowing a Cardinal player in the back of the head at every given opportunity is wrong.....

bases loaded for cubs, 2 out, full count now to soriano

whew, fly out, got out of it

Wood has lost his dominating stuff he had earlier. Seems he's trying to pick now instead of throwing to his spots. Hopefully he can get his mental game back on track. 1-1 now.

Reds need this win today.

 

[Bucknut24]

Wood hasn't looked good all game, been gettin kinda lucky, 10 hits, 2 runs......now 3-3 ugh

 

[Bucknut24]

BRUUUUCCCEE!!! Solo HR gives Reds 4-3 lead!

Have to agree with Cowboy, LeCure is a much better pitcher in long relief than starting. I really think he could develop into a Scott Sullivan type pitcher if he has the mentality to do it that way. As a starter I think he's not a deep into the ballgame pitcher, 5 to 6 innings max. Right now he's totally dominating. Excellent pitching, not just throwing. He's all over the strike zone locating pitches but mostly keeping everything down. Perfect pitcher for GABP. Now, lets get hims some more run support.
