I've been waiting all season for the Pirates bullpen to collapse and for the Cardinals to stop hitting with RISP, but it's obvious that it's just not going to happen.
And the Reds aren't doing themselves any favors either.

This is Votto HR time...
Yeah, but Cingrani in the pen makes that a good combo. I'm all for limiting the looks a team gets at a guy during a game. I hope Cueto is back and the Reds can park 2 starters in the pen and can throw tandems at teams to change the looks mid-game and turn line-ups around. In short series situations, it's how a pen should be handled IMO. If the starter isn't really dealing, get him out after 4 or 5 and bring in another one.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Despite the bad pitching today, our offense has managed only 2 hits through 6 innings.
Red Sawks go up 2-zip on the Snakes.

1 more K and we have to give our pizzas back to La Rosas
yeah and I like the kid! Iīve no problem with him at all, heīs been pretty good for the reds..
but I canīt understand how anyone says that cingrani should start the wc game (against the cardinals) above latos...
and the argument latos is a 6 inning pitcher makes no sence
latos pitches per inning 15.9
cingrani pitches per inning 17.6
era against cardinals
latos (19 ip) 1.42
cingrani (5ip) 5.40
=> why should the front office start cingrani??!?!?

This team is just not going to hit good pitching.
Some times you've just gotta tip your hat to the opposition. Pirates and Cardinals are better teams, and even if we win the wildcard game, it's those two you gotta face. Reds need to make some changes, but will they?
