Not a whole lot to go off here because of the interleague matchup. I would guess a lot of those numbers against Harang were from his time with Oakland. Masterson has pitched well in his spot starts, and at this point is probably just a six inning pitcher. Harang needs to show that he is still the ace of this staff. He can't get beat by another rookie. That being said, the Reds hitters need to be patient and let Masterson make mistakes, and not have Corey Patterson in the lineup.

It's just wishful thinking at this point, but can we please also not have Janish in the two hole? I would honestly love to hear Dusty's rationale for doing that. I honestly can not think of a reason.

Well, ive demotionalized myself quite a bit,to save my sanity, bracing for the worst and expecting the worst at this point.

Reviewing your stats you posted, on paper it seems like we should get swept this weekend.

And im not doubting that a bit.

My prediction is

Harang throws avg. gives up 4 ER. Our BP gives up another 2-3

We lose 6 or 7 to 1 or 2.



Volquez saturday i give us a 50/50 shot at winning

Bailey on sunday. As much as i would love to see baily step it up and show us some great potential for good number 4 or 5 guy. I dont see it happening sunday against the sox. So we lose pretty badly sunday.




One other thing that got to me.

Why in the world did tom on tv or one of the announcers ont he radio two days in a row say that were just hands down better ball club than St.louis. Did that seem like a stupid comment to anybody else?

Manny hits the jeep in left center sometime this weekend. Bank on it!

The sox don't struggle against Harang that is for sure. Good thing for our sake Ortiz is on the shelf.

I hate that we dont have a legit lead-off guy.

Having to bat bruce there is just ridiculous. :rolleyes:

Oh well. At least he is going to get the maximum amount of at bats possible. Think about it. Under Dusty, it could be A LOT worse.

[bgwilly31]

Well my prediction was wrong as usual.

Go reds.

Were on primetime FOX19 today, and ive got to work!:thumbdown:thumbdown:thumbdown, its Dvr'd but thats not cool.

While watching the Red Sox Broadcast last night,the announcers
were saying how could they let a pitcher who was 2-9 pitch to them like he was Cy Young.

:lol: see it works both ways.
