#Reds are hitting .201. Throw out the numbers from Zack Cozart (.471) and Jay Bruce (.316), and the rest of the team is hitting .144. #reds

After 5 last year: Cin 5-0, St. Louis 2-4. Clearly, fans are right declaring season over.

The Reds have often found themselves on the wrong end of Garcia's success. Garcia owns a 6-1 record and 3.13 career ERA in nine appearances (seven starts) against Cincinnati, with 37 strikeouts and 16 walks in 46 innings.
Quote:
Cueto, who held the Marlins to three hits over seven scoreless innings en route to a win last Thursday, found a successful formula against the Cardinals in 2011. The right-hander went 1-1 with a 2.60 ERA in four starts against St. Louis last season.

Cardinals using their B lineup on a getaway day. Matheny is clearly a deciple of TLR.
Re: Day Game 12:35 Today- 4.11.12 Cardinals @ Reds
With that lineup it may be another day before they break out the slump. Saying that now they should go out and score 12 runs today. :)

I wouldn't have sat Freese. That guys on fire right now. I did see that Berkman is a little banged up already this season and he was going to sit today anyway.
Re: Day Game 12:35 Today- 4.11.12 Cardinals @ Reds
Reds 2-0 day games and 0-3 night games this season. I am gonna go ahead and chalk this up as a win.

Yeah, the Fat Elvis tweaked something when he went for the triple last night. My advice to him is stick to Wendy's triples rather than trying to run for a triple :D

He seriously looked like he needed an oxygen tank when he got to third. He was in bad shape at that point. :)

I still think he ran well for being 36 years old. Kind of fun watching the Puma run the bases.

Actually I was surprised at his speed. He was a little quicker than I thought. Even though he's killed the Reds I have always liked him. Seems like a good guy.

I'm trying to remember play from 5 or 6 years ago maybe when a player of similar girth hit a triple. The outfielder had fallen down and the 3rd base coach was waving him home. The player had a look of sheer terror on his face at the prospect of having to run another 90 feet and as I remember actually tried to shake his head no.

Setting the over/under on HR's in the first inning at one. Keeping it low since Cueto is pitching. :)
