Re: Reds vs. Phillies Thursday 8/23
be nice for a cairo hit right now.
Re: Reds vs. Phillies Thursday 8/23
Good to get to Hamels early. He's already thrown over 30 pitches this inning. A Cairo hit would be gravy.
Re: Reds vs. Phillies Thursday 8/23
They are working him hard. This is good. It also sucks the wind out of the stadium.
Re: Reds vs. Phillies Thursday 8/23
Re: Reds vs. Phillies Thursday 8/23
at least we made him throw a lot of pitches

cairo could't hit the ball any harder...
Re: Reds vs. Phillies Thursday 8/23
Yeah, I'll take the 34 pitch first inning. That was a hell of a play to end the inning. The Reds were fortunate to get that run.

Key is the 2nd and 3rd innings now. Reds have a tendency to do that, then let the guy off the hook with a 10-pitch inning immediately afterward.
Re: Reds vs. Phillies Thursday 8/23
Would love another plus 30 pitch innings in the 2nd.
Re: Reds vs. Phillies Thursday 8/23
Cueto through the first in 11 pitches
Re: Reds vs. Phillies Thursday 8/23
Cueto cruises through the first three. Say what you want about strikeouts being superior to groundouts, but with the infield defense that we have, it gets the job done.
Re: Reds vs. Phillies Thursday 8/23
and with the infield as wet as it is, it'll dampen ground balls. I'll take grounders all night
Re: Reds vs. Phillies Thursday 8/23
And there you go. What, 11 pitches?

Haha seems to happen every time. But was bound to happen with Valdez and Cueto hitting.
