Arroyo vs. Penny (5/19/08)

[Homer Bailey]

I've missed the last couple of days so I decided to post this preview a little early to make sure it gets seen. Discuss...

[Homer Bailey]

Penny has been struggling lately.... You gotta think that Freel is gettin the start tomorrow.

[Homer Bailey]

bump.... thought people would be more excited for this game! When was the last time the Reds won 7 in a row?

[smoke6]

I hope good Bronson shows up tonight!

[captainmorgan07]

Penny struggling and Arroyo throwing well in his last 2 starts. This has very good chances of the reds winning 7 in a row. Reds need to keep Furcal and Russel Martin in check over the next 3 games.

Furcal's on the DL so that should help...

[Homer Bailey]

I see a big key is being PATIENT with Penny. If I remember correctly, his first start against the Reds this year the Reds bailed him out by swinging at pitches early in the count.

[HeatherC1212]

Maybe Paul Janish (and Dunn for that matter) reviewed how to be patient at the plate with all the guys during the plane ride to CA yesterday, LOL

Let's go for seven in a row guys!!

[Trace's Daddy]

Based on those numbers, I hope Freel gets the start over Patty.

[Homer Bailey]

If Dunn wasn't so hot, this would seem like a good day to give him off.

[GoReds33]

When was the last time the Reds won 7 in a row?

What, you don't have a chart for that?

[Fullboat]

I think Jr will get the night off.

[Homer Bailey]

What, you don't have a chart for that?

Tough to format this one.... but thats the best I could do

2006 is the answer...

[Redeye fly]

Milton with 2 wins in a 7 game span in which he and the Reds combined to give up 2 runs to the opposition? I'm surprised that Harang made the start on June 7th, let alone Arroyo at home against the Cubs on the 8th, because it certainly seemed the Apocalypse should have occurred sometime shortly after the last pitch was thrown in St. Louis on June 6th, 2006.

[DTCromer]

Hey homer thanks for the info.

Looks like you can give us this info, but you couldn't tell me what IL hitters could do. BTW, could you tell me if I should use hallow point or round point bullets when hunting for wild boar?
