Re: Reds @ Cubs Sunday 4/2/

I'll take it. Feels like we should be a lot worse than 7-9 right now.

Re: Reds @ Cubs Sunday 4/2/

I'll take a W any way it can be come back.

Half glass full: we've played like dog crap and are only 2 games under .500]
Half glass empty: we've played like crap, and because we're only 2 games under .500, it will give reason for management to not make moves to better the team

I expect the normal crap back at home. Willie Harris back starting because "he's even more due."

Marshall is the best option at closer. He overwhelms lefthanded hitters, Castro just had a great AB (8 pitches) before he triples. Nice save regardless!

Three wins out of four is always acceptable.

Yes, the magic of DVR. I re-watched it a couple times too. Considering the game situation at the time, that wasn't much of an effort by Stubbs -- and I'm one of the biggest Stubbs homers on this site. He wasn't going to catch it, but he could have probably kept it to a double.

Why not? That ball was catchable, nothing to lose by going for it.

Re: Reds @ Cubs Sunday 4/2/

SFO will be a very tough series, but with HOU and CHI coming to town I look to get back to .500 or better with this upcoming homestand

No it was not.....not unless Stubbs was playing at least 1 step closer.....his full speed and a dive would've came up short....no chance.
