Reds vs. Yankees Friday 5/18

[LeDoux]

True, but with 20 games in 20 days, and with the short starts we've been constantly getting, you almost had to ride with Arroyo through 8 when he's pitching well.

With a lead Dusty might have done it differently, but since we were losing you have to try to get that pen rest.

I would rather Arroyo leave the game feeling good. But it looks like it will not matter. 0 runs won't win you too many ballgames.

Verlander lost his no hitter with one out in the 9th.

Votto back in unassuming Clark Kent role.

If nothing else he gave us 7 2/3 and we didn't need to use the pen much. Like you said, 0 runs isn't gonna win you any games.

Aaaand Phillips back in (Bob's) Favorite Mistake mode.

Find a true right handed power bat and move Phillips back to leadoff and Cozart #2..C'mon Jocketty! Do your job!!!!!!!!

[50YrRedsFan]

Well, Walt & Co. better do something, or it's another 3rd place finish this year.

Reds = pathetic

[bigredmechanism]

Oh absolutely. But, we had a shot at 2-0 if Baker would have made the correct decision and taken Arroyo out after the HR and hit. That's a no brainer IMO. At 4-0 we have almost zero chance.

I can't argue with that. He should have been out at 2-0. Pitched a hell of a game and he got hung out to dry. His line should have been 7.0 IP 2 ER

Something needs to be done about this offense. This isn't on Dusty or any one player in particular, this is a team problem.

Fire the hitting coach. Change up the lineup. DFA dead weight and take a flyer on anyone. Something, anything.

Find a true right handed power bat....

What's that?

A guy that throws right as well as hits right?

No Ludwick, for instance?

[50YrRedsFan]

And I thought this was the game we had the best chance to win against the Yankees!

MELVIN!!!!

[The Rage]

Reds may be swept. Bailey will be shelled and CC will masterfully handle this top notch offense.
