Buccos @ Red Legs - Game 4

• wildcats20

  

  Looking for the series win tonight.
  
  It's 5-0 Reds in the bottom of 2.
  
  Brucey has a solo shot in the 1st.
  Rolen had a 3 run shot in the 1st as well.
  BP grounded into a FC in the 2nd, scoring OC on a throwing error.
  
  Cueto has 36 pitches through 2. 3 strike outs and 1 hit.
• wildcats20

  

  Stubbs with a 2 run single and it's 7-0.
• rugbywrestler

  Whats up with Votto? Havent been listening in...
• wildcats20

  

  Apparently a stiff neck.
  
  Plus Dusty supposedly has wanted to get him a day or 2 off.
• Rotinaj

  

  What's the deal w Phillips??? Didn't realize he only has 15 RBIs on the year. Looked bad in both at bats today with risp both times. Dude needs to step up.

  Sac Fly 8-0
• wildcats20

  

  Not only are the Reds bats dominating the Pirates tonight, but Cueto is looking great AGAIN.\
• justincredible

  

  This team just might be for real. Should be a fun summer.
• wildcats20

  

  The pitching is there, no doubt about that IMO. I'm curious to see if the bats will stay hot or not.
• Mooney44Cards

  

  Scary thought:
  
  No one in the Reds lineup tonight is batting above .290
  
  And look at the score.
  
  Cueto could strike out 15 tonight if he keeps it up.

  Cairo is on fireeee. I'm sorry I ever doubted you!!!
• Midstate01

  

  I think I owe ciaro I personal appology
• Mooney44Cards

  

  I think we all owe Cairo a personal apology. Dude is raking it at the plate AND he just had a pretty nice pick at 1B.
  
  Like I said last night.....its good to get him some ABs, he knocks the rust off, so he's fresh when we really need him to either pinch hit in an important situation or spell Votto to keep him fresh for.....dare I say it?.....October?
• stroups

  

  Cairo in the 2 hole............. that is just mind boggling

  I believe this was my comment last night............ lol
• Ironman92

  

  Cairo is stepping up as needed.......Jocketty is looking smarter and smarter
  
  Phillips is doing fine in the 2 hole.....he'll score 110+ runs if he stays there and throw in 40 doubles and 20 SB......that's what he should've been doing the past 2 seasons.
• jordo212000

  

  There was a quote on ESPN's fantasy news for Votto that said Cairo was getting another start for Votto, but the fact Cairo is hitting in the 2-hole is a head scratcher haha.
  
  Cairo had another good night. He has been solid, that's for sure.
• Mooney44Cards

  

  I'm really hoping Sam LeCure does well.
  
  I want nothing more than to be wracking my brain everyday worrying about what we're gonna do cuz we have too many good pitchers.

  Add Edinson to the mix in the dog days and we have problems (good ones) haha. Wonder if Volquez will pitch in the pen?

  I wouldn't mind seeing Harang dealt by the deadline.
• Mooney44Cards

  

  I'd like to see Homer in the bullpen to be honest. But we'll see how he does when he comes back from the DL.

  Charlie Morton needs to go to AAA to get his confidence back. He was very solid for a good chunk of last year, but he's the Bizarro World Ubaldo Jimenez this year (1-9, 9.35ish ERA???). He will be RUINED if he's allowed to fail every damn start because he can't get shit done despite having very good stuff (at least according to people in the organization)
  
  Fuck...right now, he needs the same treatment Cleveland's Carmona got last year...getting sent down to the lowest level possible, rebuilding himself and working his way back up.
• Heretic

  

  Fun fact I read on another board I go to.
  
  Pittsburgh's record: 20-28.
  Pittsburgh's record in games NOT started by Charlie Morton: 19-19.
  Pittsburgh's record in games started by Charlie Morton: 1-9 (with him getting every decision).
  
  His ineptitude and the club's baffling desire to stick with him could be seen as a primary reason why the team isn't .500ish right now.
