Re: Reds vs Astros 7/28/08
Whatever you do, do not mess with the juggernaut offense that this lineup has proven itself to be.
Just plain stubborn.

Re: Reds vs Astros 7/28/08
Bruce flied out, Kepp singled, Griffey GIDP.
Cueto got ahead 0-2 on Matsui with two fastballs and tried to throw another fastball past him and Matsui doubled.

Re: Reds vs Astros 7/28/08
I don't understand our pitchers' propensity to throw hittable pitches with favorable two strike counts.

Re: Reds vs Astros 7/28/08
Goodness. I hate this defense. Routine groundball rolls into centerfield for a RBI single. Ridiculous that Keppinger can't make that play. Geez.

Re: Reds vs Astros 7/28/08
Cueto threw 120 pitches last start, a career high so it will be interesting to see how he bounces back tonight.

Re: Reds vs Astros 7/28/08
Not very well, I'm afraid. 2-0, runners on first and second and no one out.
Mayday! Mayday!

Re: Reds vs Astros 7/28/08
It looks like the bullpen is going to get some more work tonight.

Re: Reds vs Astros 7/28/08
Berkman walked. Cueto threw a slider in the dirt and Lee somehow made contact and bloops a RBI single. First and third and nobody out.
It's going to be a long night. Cueto has a good changeup tonight but isn't locating his slider or fastball, plus the Astros are getting lucky groundballs and bloop hits.

Re: Reds vs Astros 7/28/08
Wouldn't it be nice to have a catcher who could actually, um, catch the ball? 3-0 on a sac fly.
