7-23-10: Reds @ Astros

[Jefferson24]

sure, why not

[ILoveWilly]

Whew, Leadoff first out, probably swinging on ball 4.

[GIDP]

Cordero should just ask that every count start off 3-2.

[Dale4Saul2Red0]

Cordero just wanted some more warm up pitches guys

[George Foster]

he needs to trust his stuff more...he picks on the outside edge.

[Jefferson24]

Cordero should just ask that every count start off 3-2.

he doesn't concentrate until it's a full count

[FlyerFanatic]

not good..berkman up now

[RedsFanInBama]

And so it begins...

[AintlifeGrande]

Right he needs to go back to pitching inside like he had been lately.

[George Foster]

[AintlifeGrande]

[rolenmvp]

[RedsLvr]

[BakoTheTako]

This has got to be the worst crowd in terms of thinking every fly ball is a homerun.

[rolenmvp]

[Magdal]

[RedsLvr]

Damn..Cordero has allowed 3 hits in his last 7 outings. When get we get rid of this horrid reliever?

[George Foster]

How many walks has he allowed in those 7 outings???

[Reds]

It's always sweet to win the first game of a series. Ever better when it's in division and you know you got Oswalt going in the series.

7:05 EST game tomorrow.

throwback night at the ballpark, not sure if the uniforms will be...

[RedsFanInBama]

How many walks has he allowed in those 7 outings???

Seven.

[RedsLvr]

How many walks has he allowed in those 7 outings???

7. So he's averaging one walk an inning. I could care less as long as he gets the job done. And he's been doing just that lately.

[George Foster]

Oswalt is not getting the same amount of run support as he has gotten in recent years. His ERA is 3.14 not bad but their offense will keep US in the game tomorrow.

You do realize that a walk an inning is a God awful number, right? He makes games interesting that shouldn't be. That's how you blow saves. Make a team put together hits.

If you think 3 hits and 7 walks in 7 outings for a STAR closer making 12 million a year is good...you have a lot to learn about baseball. He has been LUCKY....plain and simple.

Hunter Pence hit a lazor...to Stubbs....LUCKY!!!

The law of averages will catch up to CoCo...

3 hits in 7 outings is not bad at all. That's a .176 opponent batting average during the stretch. I'd take that for a star closer.

And no..I didn't not say that 1 walk an inning was a good average. I said that as long he keeps converting saves at or above the league average, as he is, I'm not concerned.

And yeah, a laser that fell about 150 feet away from the fence. Heaven forbid a guy that went 4-4 against one of the hottest pitchers in the reds organization be able to hit a ball squarely to our center fielder against CoCo..
