    Cingrani's bigger problem is control. He has 17 walks in 22 innings. That just won't work....

    Just like in Pilly. Win one out of three--probably what will happen all season long.

    A theory that probably has nothing to do with the reason. Switch Pitcher pitches to Switch Hitter. Switch pitcher choose right hand, switch hitter bats lefty. Pitcher changes hand. Switch hitter calls time and switches to righty. Switch pitcher changes hand again. Switch hitter calls time and switches again ....

    Great outing by Cueto. But I really enjoyed how much fun the guys were having today. Lots of laughing and joking around.

    I believe that's exactly the reason the rule was created.

    Reds pitchers retired the last 15 Padres they faced today.

    yes --- and watching JC pitch is such a joy that if he's traded or leaves part of me will become a fan of his new team -- with conditions -- no Cards or Yanks
    The older I get - the better I was

    and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)

    I miss Raisor

    Re: 6/7/15 - Reds vs. Padres - At least Johnny is pitching

    Just arrived back home after a trip to the ballpark. I guess it is poetic justice since I've been dogging Bruce this year that he nearly hits one out of the park and doubles up to drive in all the runs. Cueto, you could just see him become unhittable after inning 2. He found his command, hit the corners, kept the ball down. The Padres, after two days of raking, barely hit a ball hard all day. My boys were a little bummed at no Batting Practice, they usually snag a few balls either from players or home runs. Not sure why no BP today.

    Oh, and the game was over in under 2:30 hours. Easy win, a rare one this year.
