Doo-doo?!

Who you calling "cootie queen" you lint-licker?! :lol:

Digesting a Lost Series, Division Lead | Cardinal Beat | STLtoday

CINCINNATI ? Center fielder/philosopher Colby Rasmus described Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo?s assortment as ?doo-doo? and ?a bunch of slop? following the Reds? 7-2 takedown of the Cardinals Sunday afternoon at Great American Ball Park.

By the way, how's that new hitting coach working out for you, St. Louis? There's nothing like having a guy on your staff to fix your players' swings who had a shift run on him for the last half of his career. At what point do the Cards' give up on the batting cage and go back to the needles?

Oh yeah - The Cards are also 1-4 since Pujols pronounced that the Cardinals were way better than their 20-13 record. :lol:

I don't like looking at the top 12 in the overall MLB standings and noticing that the Reds are the only - in the run scoring +/-.

However, what I can get on board with is that it was a -20 something just last week, and so that red could go solid green in the next few weeks. We play:

2 games vs 15-22 Milwaukee
2 games @ 18-19 Atlanta
3 games @ 15-20 Cleveland
4 games vs 16-21 Pittsburgh
3 games vs 13-24 Houston

before we travel to St. Louis and then Washington.

Time to get fat and build a lead. If this team is going to do it, we'll know about it before June arrives. No pressure or anything.

As you noted, their differential is at least trending in the right direction. The schedule over the next couple weeks doesn't seem all that daunting. I think if the Reds continue to play well that the differential will come around.

By the time the break rolls around they'll add Chapman and Burton, and probably be close to getting Volquez back too.

I'm not sold on Chapman being MLB ready this year. He just got rocked, and his control is all over the place.

His current stats...4.63 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 21 walks in 35 innings (he does have 41 K's).

Sadly Travis Wood, who I thought was more ready, is not pitching any better. While his control is not bad, he seems prone to giving up the long ball. Not good for a pitcher who will play half his games at GABP.

It's still early, but right now Maloney looks like the only decent pitcher in the minors.

Problem with the Reds RF/RA diff is it is skewed by two months of feast or famine (or famine and feast, as it were).

Is the pitching staff, defense and offense as bad as they played in April? No.
Is the pitching staff, defense and offense as good as they've played in May? No.

Luckily, the rest of the Central stinks, so if the Reds can ride this hot streak just a couple more games and get to +8 or +9 in the W/L differential, they'll only need to play .500 the rest of the way.

The Cards do not look like a 90 win team this year.

My Brewers are ripe for the picking. Have lost like 6 straight or something....terrible home record...fair road record. pitching has been awful. Will either score 15 against you guys or 1. If you score 10 we will get 8. If you score 3, we will get 2. we are playing awful right now.

that said - i'm not sold on the reds either. I think the whole damn division is pretty sad. An 85 win team could win this division outright.

from jsonline:

By comparison, the Cincinnati Reds have three complete games from their starters in the last five games! Imagine that. The Brewers haven't had a complete game since April 24 of last season when Gallardo tossed one in Houston. The Brewers have played 183 games since then without a CG.
So, the Reds have three CGs in their last five games, and the Brewers have none in their last 183 games. Any wonder why Cincy is in first place and the Brewers have been falling like a rock in the NL Central?

wow.

Let's celebrate FIRST PLACE Reds
Scott Rolen: 'We're here because we're playing good baseball'

We take 'em one at a time here. One sentence, one paragraph, one column at a time. We never get too high or too low because we write 200 of 'em a year, you know? Today's prizewinner is tomorrow's papier mache.

Except today. Today is different

Today, the Cincinnati Reds are alone in FIRST PLACE for the first time since Game 14 of 2007. That was 509 games ago, if you're counting, and we are. It lasted a day. You have to go back to July 1, 2006, for the Reds to be leading the NL Central longer than that. On that date, they stretched their divisional domination to two days, before losing their grip July 2.

Cont'd ...

What's the gamecast have for both Votto and Phillips overrunning 2nd base and making outs in inning when the Reds could have otherwise had bases loaded with one fewer out?

The Reds might lead the majors in going 1st-to-3rd on a single, but they're leading the majors in getting caught in no-mans'-land on doubles thrown to infielders behind them too.

After the series with the Mets to start the month the Reds sat at 14-14. Masset and Owings each had recorded 3 Ws, while Leake had 2 and the rest of the starters 1 or 0. Since that series, Reds starting pitchers are 8-2 over the last 10 games, recording all the decisions. 9 consecutive quality starts.
