Congratulations to Travis. That was one heck of a gem he threw out there tonight. I don't get to watch many Reds games, but this was a beauty to see.

Easily. Not to mention control to both sides of the plate and mental toughness to spare. Does he remind anyone else of Mark Buehrle?

He looks like the second coming of John Danks.

We need to leave him in the rotation.

Cueto
Leake
Arroyo
Volquez
Wood

So let it be written, so let it be done.

A healthy Bailey and a back-of-his-baseball card Harang would do wonders for the bullpen. I like that rotation.

And with Harang/Bailey in the bullpen, you have long guys in case Leake needs to skip a start.

Harang's in the last year of his deal, do whatever with him.

Absolutely heart-wrenching to lose games like this in back-to-back nights. Totally different games, both heart-wrenching. Blow a 6-run lead in the freakin' 9th inning for the second time this year. Then the next night your rookie stud goes out there and almost throws a freakin' perfect game against the Phillies in their park and you don't even get the win.

Time to drink some beers and try and forget about all of this nonsense. At least we will go into the AS break in sole possession of first place, but dammit this stings.

Big props to Travis Wood though. Man are we just dripping with quality young pitching. And we haven't even seen Chapman with the big club yet. Also have Volquez waiting in the wings. And Bailey is still alive last time I checked.

I'm giving Hanigan some serious credit here as well (for his receiving, not his un-clutchness w/ the bat)

He can frame pitches much better than Razor.....and while CERA isn't the end-all, be-all of stats....it can't be overlooked. He's a very very good receiver.

Don't forget about Thursday night. The Reds lost in walk-off fashion in the 12th then too. That's 3 straight back-breaking extra-inning losses for our boys. A win tomorrow might be needed for morale more than anything.

Seriously, fearofpop, what in the world were you thinking when you started this thread?

It was an oppo-jinx, where by blatantly stating it, you actually nix the jinx.

On a more serious note, you don't actually think that what someone writes on an internet message board effects how someone pitches, do you? I mean really.

Of course it has no effect, but still, you just don't do it. It's not illegal, it's frowned upon, like....(insert hangover line here).
