And bad facial hair.
Kc's point is why I wished he had just walked Abreau. Bobby is a pro hitter. Someone said why? He almost sruck him out the spitch before. Right. And with a hitter like Abreu you get exactly one of those almosts. Then he makes you pay. He is past his prime but he is like old Ken Griffey Sr. He can hit until the day he dies. Those kind of guys were born to hit.
It was a mistake pitch by Cueto.
Reading some on here you'd think he intentionally threw it down Broadway.
No Kal - I just was wishing he'd thrown a ball instead. simple wish that's all.
Important inning and Johnny doesn't deserve this.

One of those close, tight games in the late innings full of missed LOB opportunities.
The kind of game the Reds have been on the wrong side of over the last 3-4 weeks. Other than the Arroyo no hitter where Stubbs hit the HR in the bottom of the 8th have we won a game in the last three weeks tied or down after the 6th inning? At some point things have to even out... You'd think
I agree, it was a bad pitch, it happens, he's given up 1 run through 6, typical Cueto. I'd hardly worry about that one pitch when this team is given great SP every night and is constantly fighting tooth and nail just to score enough runs to edge out the other team, which is 100X more frustrating to watch.
Johnny at 84 pitches. More importantly, Adam Kennedy's at-bat music is Ain't Nothin But A G Thang.

Frustration is why I harp and its not fair to gripe on Johnny when its the offense I'm actually frustrated with. Yall are right about that.
Thank you Mr. Kennedy
Kennedy looked silly striking out on that 3-2 pitch. One out,

Single for Loney.

Yes. Comfortable wins like last night's are rare....living on the edge is overrated.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Is Creeper sleeping on Loney's couch this week?
Obviously Cueto has been great, I'm not indicting the pitcher's whole season.
And Cueto certainly is entitled to allow a run.
But that one was predictable because it was Abreu. And in a very tight, low scoring game, I think it was a particularly bad mistake to throw it down Broadway to a hitter like Abreu.
I would have rather he walked him. That's all.
