That's what, his 3rd blown save to Pit this year? Absolutely pathetic.

Yep, this offense is disgusting without Bruce and Phillips isn't close to 100%. Pen meltdown culdn't have happened at a worse time.Originally Posted by RedsManRick
One freakin' pitch from putting a big nail in the Cardinals coffin...
They got 4 hits in 5 batters off him Friday. It's almost comical.The team with the worst record in the NL has more hits off our closer in two thirds of an inning than they got off our starter in 7.
Phil Castellini puts the FUN in Trust Fund.
Dusty thinking "I can't wait to get another chance to put him in and show him I have faith in him"
Well I can imagine what Cordero blew it on...

No, this is a time to remember that the Reds were one strike away from a win and a sweep, and Cordero grooved a pitch.
This game was won. Cordero blew it with his second bad outing in three games.
Just killing this team. This season is still in doubt. Today would have gone a long way toward closing it out.
For the second time in three days. Friday it only took 1/3 of an inning.The team with the worst record in the NL has more hits off our closer in two thirds of an inning than they got off our starter in 7.
They've scored 8 runs in regulation in a 3-game series against a team with a 14-55 road record.

Even more telling for Cordero, is the massive drop off over the last three or four years in his strikeout rate.
Today, for the third straight day, he struck out nobody.

No, we don't need Cordero to pitch well down the stretch. We need him not to pitch at all except in blowouts, because he's pathetic and terrible.
Interesting that the Pirates didn't let Cordero off the hook by trying to score the runner from 2B on the hit by Jones. The Reds would have likely made the second out at home on that play.
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!
Three great starting pitching outings in three days. Bullpen blew the lead all three games.
Reds were lucky to win two.
CoCo cooked.
Lucky to win two but I still consider 2 out of 3 this weekend as a failure after the great starts.
