The Padres hit our pitching as well as any team in baseball.
We'll be alright in about a week when we have the right side of our infield back.
Except for the first game, the Padres havn't exactly "ripped" the Reds pitching. Couple of bad innings by Bailey and Arroyo, and now Cueto, but the rest of the time they've only had scattered hits.
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve!
Quite honestly, my only concern coming out of today is having a worn-out bullpen for the Pittsburgh series. With the way Cueto's going, that seems almost unavoidable.
Well, however you want to look at it. The point is that our starters have been ineffective this series. Unless Cueto turns it around, it's looking unlikely that we'll get out of the four-game series with a single quality start (and that's not a terribly high standard anyway, especially against this team).
And Cairo is 2 for 2. What a bum.
Can we make it two successful bunts in one inning?
