Huh, so Kris Negron was only in NJ as an infant and then lived in Japan and then grew up in Fairfeld California. Cool stuff, seems like a good guy.

Bruce says eat shift and die to St. Louis.

Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
Thom getting all bent out of shape for some reason.
Billy makes a CRAZY catch on a ball Bruce never saw and then doubles Jay off of first to end the threatening inning.

Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
I don't think Choo would have made that play
:p

Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
One of the best plays of the year by Billy H.

I thought that ball was going to be off the wall at least. But no excuse for the dummy Jay.

1-0 Cardinals after a Holliday double

Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
Welp. With the bases loaded and two outs Jhonny Peralta with a base hit to right that Bruce bobbles. 3 runs score.
4-0 St. Louis.

Getting beat by the cheater actually makes it easier to accept. If they need to cheat to win, let 'em.

can't wait to watch the bullpen ....

Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
Poor Johnny being left in to load up the bases with no outs and now his night is done.
RIP his ERA.

bullpen in -- I think we can assume all three will score
-
Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
Back. Team must have really turned people off. Twenty-two posts tonight. Only 15 members. I guess people can only suffer so much pain.
-
Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
The last thing the Reds needed tonight was for Cueto to struggle, which he did. He is certainly allowed one every now and then, it just stinks to have been tonight.
Base hits, walks, and HBP, just an overall off night really.
-
Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
Well, the CYA is Kershaw's to lose now. It was pretty much that way before, but I think this will seal it if these 3 runners score.

For sure. Tom, was I seeing things or did the Cards notice Cueto's wildness and wait on pitches? If so, their hitters are smarter than ours.
-
Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
Cueto ERA at 2.24 and rising.

Definitely had a good approach, and it was clear from the start that Cueto wasn't getting calls on the corners he was hoping for. Just not his night and while I understand wanting to get an extra inning out of him given the way the bullpen has been, it wasn't really fair to him.
Also he hit a few batters so I imagine the wildness wasn't hard to notice. ;)
-
Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
Silver lining:
Reds can ease up on Cueto this final five weeks if he is out of the Cy Young picture.

Logan does a nice job. Only one run scores on a sac fly; the other two are stranded.
-
Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
ERA finishes at 2.24. He threw 103 pitches in 5 complete. Just not "on" at all. When it rains it pours.
-
Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
Cueto didn't seem comfortable all night. Pitched very slowly, pacing around, seemed to be sweating quite a bit. Not sure if it's the heat or some minor hurt or whatever. Was wild high.
Nice outing by Ondrusek with the bases loaded so only one run scored.
This game has reinforced my desire, posted earlier, to get some minor league players a look with the Reds just to change things up.

I was concerned that Johnny was due for a not-so-sharp outing, but didn't want to say anything because he has been so good this year and is always our best chance.
"Help us, Obi-Wan Cuetobi. You're our only hope."

Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
The Reds look deader tonight than the game thread. Down 5-0 through their half of the 7th...they could still come back to win this one but I'm starting to entertain the notion that the injuries etc have finally been too much to overcome and their season is done.
-
Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
Tip my hat to Ondrusek....that was outstanding. He saved Cueto 2 runs to his ERA in my opinion
-
Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
Hoover in. At least it's not a tie. Watch him be lights out now.
I remember this winter when some Reds fans said what a terrible move Peralta was for the Cards. Not bad having a .799 OPS shortstop who fields his position.
-
Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
JJ Hoover in.....this is where I'd pitch him the rest of the year.....down by 3+ or up by 5+
-
Re: 8.20.14 Reds @ Cardinals
Yeah....this game won't be much longer. Severe storm near....might not last long but it'll clear the seats

Peralta was a brilliant move for the Cards and it was the day they did it. Reds fans said the Carpenter deal was a terrible move too. Not so much.
