ERA finishes at 2.24. He threw 103 pitches in 5 complete. Just not "on" at all. When it rains it pours.

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.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.

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.

Tip my hat to Ondrusek....that was outstanding. He saved Cueto 2 runs to his ERA in my opinion
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.
JJ Hoover in.....this is where I'd pitch him the rest of the year.....down by 3+ or up by 5+
Yeah....this game won't be much longer. Severe storm near....might not last long but it'll clear the seats

On the bright side of things, Hoover can't lose this one.
