Needed that outing by Arroyo. Solid.
Plus Cordero only threw 7 pitches....He will be ready for tomorrow.

Cordero pitches every save opportunity. It's one strategy that Baker employs which works vvirtually always.Originally Posted by WVRedsFan
Over the last year plus a month, we've lost 2 games in which we have a lead after 8 innings.
Our 8 inning leads virtually never evaporate.
FWIW, he had saves in 4 consecutive games twice last year.
great game.
as to Coco: i too wasn't happy to see him out there again. his histrory is such that he tends to really struggle when asked to pitch 3 nights in a row. tonight he got the job done.
Bruce is really hitting the ball well. those lazy flyballs of 2009 seem to be gone. its line drive after line drive.
.
It's ironic that as we once again reach .500, we have to play St. Louis at their place. There is no justice in this world. The Reds are now 5-5 on the road and 6-6 at home, so maybe we'll at least win the series. Cueto vs. Penny (he of the 0.94 ERA) in the first game. We'll see.
Eh -- it's a long season. This team just needs to hover around .500 and keep themselves close enough to make a run later in the year.
I love beating the Cardinals, but it won't be the end of the world if they go to STL and drop 2 of 3. You can do that when you really beat up on the teams you're supposed to beat.
Cincinnati Reds: Farm System Champions 2022
Wow. What are the odds of THAT happening. The HR's from Votto & Pence both landed in the same fan's beer in the same inning. The first one knocked his beer out of his hands. He got a new one...and the second one hit it dead on. I didn't notice it, but the FSHouston guys just showed it. Unreal.
As expensive as ballpark beer is, I think I'd have moved. Or at least saw it coming and gotten out of the way.

Surely the Astros must have bought him a couple of brews!
Think the jinx is really over? We won three of his four starts last year even though he got no decisions in all of them
Hmm, I think this photo proves that I can see the future......LOL
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
Sweeps are cool.
They did. That was the other thing the announcers said. Kinda nice. What sucks is he didn't get the ball either time. LOL.
