    WTF was going out in the outfield ... that costs the Reds a run 2-1
  • rugbywrestler
    I dont know a lot about a lot but I do believe Jay has to at least try to cut that ball off

    Colvin's drive scorched more than Bruce thought and it gets to the wall driving in a run and Colvin, the tying run, gets to 3rd.

    In the last few weeks, starting with the Cards at the Reds, I have noticed playing fields are more firm and the balls bounce thru better, especially in the infield, and I think that is a major factor in so many high scoring games. And I think that is what happened to Bruce, the route he took wasn't the proper one because of the firmness. I think it was not a matter of effort. But like my dad told me, even if you know you can't get it, make it look like you are at least trying.

    Cueto has 6 K's through 5

    The surprise top two hitters in the Reds line-up have paid off for Dusty. In their first inning plate appearances they saw a total of 17 pitches between them and they both reached base, with the only mess up being Valaika swinging thru a high fastball on the hit and run, and hanging Bruce out to dry. But then Valaika doubled and was knocked in by Joey.

    After three plate appearances for each: 4/5 with 3 HR, 4 R, 5 RBI, and a BB.

    And a 6-1 Reds lead!

    That is 7 excellent innings for Cueto with 100 pitches, no walks, 8 Ks, and a 6-1 lead. Will that be all for him? And will Francisco hit for Cueto?

    3 bombs by Bruce now

    Bruce is on FIRE tonight.... Hopefully that mid-summer slump is over and this continues the rest of the season
  • mhs95_06
    1,2,3 inning for Cueto, now at 111 pitches. How about putting in Ondrusek for the 9th to try to regain some confidence!

    Nice 7 - 1 victory and a HUGE outing by Cueto

    Cards are up 3 - 0 right now

    That's what you do with the Cubs.



    That had to be one of the all-around top games to attend from weather to excitement to quickness.

    Gomes needs to step up. What's goin on w him??
  • Midstate01
    im going to be super pissed if Harang gets a start next week. He's done nothing to warrant it. He cant get AAA hitters out!!!!!
  • osu45804
    Louisville Bats say that Chapman touched 105 mph tonight
  • Ironman92
    no need for that...he needs to take a little off and get some 102 mph with movement

    He's throwing at Wii professional speedds
  • Midstate01
    he struck out the side, must be getting the control down.
  • Ironman92
    or he's getting ahead and then throwing 105
