LETS GO REDS!!!!!

[JHockey14]

anyone else have a bad feeling about this game ?? The reds are famous for making pitchers they have never seen before look like the second coming of nolan ryan

[awnawboi21]

If it weren't for El Humo (o El Fuego, depending on your preference) I'd be real worried.

Day game, I believe the opposing pitcher is a righty, I think we can touch him up for just enough runs to win this bad boy.

With Cueto on the mound we should have a shot at a win today. We also have a better record on day games vs. night games. If CPat can get out of his slump and Hairston continues to hit the way he has, they can set up some big innings for Jr. and Dunn. Both Jr. and Dunn are starting to heat up. I look for Jr. to go yard today with Dunn going 1-3 with 2 RBI's and a walk. Reds win 6-4 Cueto goes 71/3 with 6 k's and a much needed W.

El Humo carries us to the win today

6^2/3 IP
4 hits
1 BB
2 runs
1 HR
7 ks.
108 pitches

[JHockey14]

Paul Bako throws out another runner !! 6-10 on the season and 6 of the last 7. look at the cannon lol

[JHockey14]

cueto with his first K 94 mph heater on the inside corner. I tell ya this kids location impresses me just as much as his stuff. great control

[The Duke]

Walks Tejada, good thing Bako through Pence out.

[The Duke]

Well, there are 2 of the 4 hits, the walk, and the 2 runs I said he would give up over 6^2/3, so I guess over the next 6 he will only give up 2 hits, no walks, and no runs.

At least I hope so.

[JHockey14]

lovely ....Lance Berkman leaves the yard after a 2 out walk to Tejada. 2 nothing stros

[missbaseball]

2-0 in the 1st
not what I wanted to see during my lunch.

And it took Cueto 25 pitches to get out of the inning.

[The Duke]

About time CPatt actually succeeded on a bunt single attempt.

[stone19uk]

Great start for CPAt. A run or 2 would be nice in this inning to help Cueto out.

[The Duke]

WP from the rook, hopefully we can take advantage and shake him up early.
