This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
Probably, but that last ball could have made it 5-0 and put us out of the game early. He may be having a bad day, but the performance by both of those guys is simply horrendous and since it's against probably the worst team in the division, it's even more apalling. Like someone else said, Dick Pole is one of the problems and I see no end to that.Originally Posted by OnBaseMachine

I think what we are seeing may be an indicator of what to expect from this team's offense, even if Cueto (or any Red's pitcher) pitches a decent game and holds the opposition down to 2-3 runs.

That was certainly a great catch by Taveras.
Nah, he's lucky. And worthless.

So the offense clobbering Mets' pitching for 18 innings is less indicative than 2 innings against one of the more underrated lefties in MLB Maholm?

With the way Maholm is pitching, those two runs may be enough.
Sorry FCB, the GT is the wrong place for rational thought. This is the place where 2 innings seems like a season's worth of data
Hard to believe the problem is Dick Pole. Seems to me the problem is with the guy who pronounced the Reds as having the "best 12 man staff" in the division.
Harang had a bad year. Arroyo is up and down. Volquez started great last year, but tailed off toward the end. Cueto has good stuff but wasn't that successful last year.
These are talented guys, but they are not money in the bank. We'll see how they do.
No. But I was just kidding. Wake up on wrong side of the bed?

It gets old. From you, from whomever.
9 up, 9 down for Maholm.
AGon K's on 8 pitches...at what point does a K become a good AB...if he goes 13-14 pitches and K's...he's done his job running up the pitch count if you ask me.
What is the consensus on this...
I agree with Blitz--Maholm's just pumping in strike after strike (fastball-changeup and that's about it); Cueto's guiding it, getting cute and not relying the Pirate hitters to get themselves out, which they will. These guys aren't Pujols.
