Reds Tidbits (2012 Season)

Whew. Of course that whole inning not only made it 1 run closer, but brings up their 2,3,and 4 hitters for the 9th.

You know Denorfria is going to fuck us here right?

Sometimes those players simply can't shake the Reds suck completely.

This team just cannot stand prosperity

and here comes the Cuban Missile Crisis

One pitch up near that 105 and he could throw all sliders the rest of the way and get them out.


Been a couple of weeks. Hope his control is in order.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Yep. Watching him tonight definitely supports the premise of making him a starter full time. He looks a mile better in his strength and rhythm than he has in a month.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Thank you sir.

 

[scott91575]

Nice to see him throwing serious heat again. Now the Reds need to get Cueto some runs tomorrow.

Casual 102. Jesus Christ.

That's way more impressive than a max-effort 105, especially since it was for strike three against their best hitter to end the game.

Does limping to the finish line still count as crossing it? Reason being 5-6 is the worst we can do on this trip, with Cueto left.

6-5? Holy fuckin fuck, I'll say.. maybe..

100% do-able, which is unreal

Agreed. It's plainly clear that the man was born to pitch every fifth day, despite what Dusty thinks of his fastball.

He may only have two pitches at the moment, but it's up to this club to give him the rest of the tools he needs to be a starter.

Maybe Drew Stubbs was the better pick between he and Lincecum (at least this year). Lincecum is god awful this year. There probably isn't a worse starting pitcher in baseball who actually starts on a regular basis. Sure, Stubbs might be the worst regular hitter in baseball, but at least he plays an important defensive position well.

 

[jlb1705]

More stellar bunting from the Reds.

I appreciate the hustle, but I don't want to see Johnny Cueto being asked to go first to third and slide head first unless it's an elimination game.
