6/5/2013 Reds v. Rockies (it just got Villareal in here)

[BluegrassRedleg]

This guy is WAY too good a hitter to be seeing the meat the Reds staff has served up.

[malcontent]

Gotta locate pedestrian stuff.

better score 10 tonight

Better score in more than one inning is more like it. *sigh*

Shocking that a guy with a 5+ ERA at Triple-A is getting rocked around.

Uhhhh, we are winning dude!!!

[_Sir_Charles_]

So to be clear, Sir Charles, do you want Pedro to replace Johnny if it is for a couple more starts?

2 starts including tonight...I'm fine with it. More than that...I'd want to see a 40 man roster change. And they should know the answer to that shortly I'd think.

Yeah what kind of bum gives up homeruns to scrubs like Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzski?

[Kc61]

I'd give Pedro V until the pitcher's spot. Then he's out. He should not face the top of this batting order again.

And nothing good to Helton.

[krm1580]

I get the fact that the guy is roster filler but you can't you throw a pitch in THAT location to an elite cleanup hitter.


The other problem tonight is the Reds seem to be cursed when they have a big first inning. They always seem to take the rest of the night off.

Yep, this lineup will crush him if they see him a third time.

Isn't Helton an AARP member by now?

[redsfaninbsg]

Villarreal pitching is a total miss management of the organization. Provided, Cueto alerted the team of his issue after his last start. It's just flat out unacceptable.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Yeah what kind of bum gives up homeruns to scrubs like Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzski?

Yep, I called him a "bum."

He's a guy with a 5+ ERA at Triple-A. That's a fact. It's not impressive. Neither is your poor attempt at sarcasm.

Fair enough, but I'd go with Tony C.

[malcontent]

I seem to recall Villarreal was crushed in spring training.

Helton has had a rough life, Peyton Manning backup at Tennessee, then a really good MLB career. Not too shabby!!!
