Descalso strikes out swinging. 3 Ks for Cueto.

Re: 4-17 Reds @StL

Basically, Lohse has figured out how to use the umps floating strike zone to his advantage, while Cueto hasn't. Got to hand it to Kyle, but it certainly isn't the result of his great pitching talent.

I hate the cards and I can't stand Loshe, but calling it lucky breaks tonight is just flat out wrong. He's dealin' and the Reds are outmatched.
It's unfortunately been the same song regardless of whose throwing. Insert just about any name in there. This offense has been atrocious.

Re: 4-17 Reds @StL

If Brandon can't move like he should, should he be playing?

It shows how desperate this team is when they are playing him at what Brandon says is about 60%

The strike zone has nothing to do with this offense. There have been some borderline calls both ways though nothing compared to yesterday. I get what you're saying but this team just can't hit right now.
