Game 44 - Pittsburgh Pirates (James McDonald) at Cincinnati Reds (Johnny Cueto)

• Azubuike24

  

  The Reds' offense got dominated last night, I'd expect to see some changes today and they will need. Cueto has gone 2 starts, 13.2 innings and hasn't allowed a run yet. Lets hope it continues.

  Maybe the offense will wake up and decided to score a little bit earlier than they have been.
  CUeto has been money for the first two starts...so he is due for a bad one becuase this reds team seems like it is going to be the type to play down to their competition.

  Interesting lineup today...
  
  Chris Heisey 8
  Edgar Renteria 6
  Joey Votto 3
  Brandon Phillips 4
  Jay Bruce 9
  Miguel Cairo 5
  Fred Lewis 7
  Ramon Hernandez 2
  Johnny Cueto 1
  
  
  Here's Heisey's chance to prove what he can do as a starter. I think the Reds win by 4 today...

  Janish has been struggling. Looks like giving a couple guys a day off before the big series and road trip.
  Was expected Rolen would be out today.
  Hope Heisey gets a few knocks so he....oh wait....DH is coming this weekend......so you know Gomes wont be in LF.
  
  I am thinking Heisey is going to get a chance this weekend to show what he can do. If he shines.....Gomes is done.

  I like that lineup although I'd rather Lewis hit 2nd over Renteria. Otherwise, if they can steal one with Stubbs and Rolen out it would be big. I have a feeling Bruce has a big day today.

  Gotta win this game because a) Cueto and b) need a win before going on a 10 game roadie

  Scoreless top of the 1st for the Buccos.

  Heisey leads off w/ a hit. That should get him put on the bench for the next week or so.

  Cueto falling behind every batter here in the 2nd.

  Ronnie Cedeno: Reminding me why we Pirates fans hate him. Bases loaded, one out, pitcher coming up next. You don't strike out looking in that situation you stupid fucking bastard piece of shit!

  Bruuuuuuuuuuce
  
  I love typing that idk why

  And Cueto gets through the top of the third with no troubles. That makes the failed opportunity of the second look worse. Cueto tends to be very good against the Pirates, so they need to make something happen whenever they have a chance, because they might not get more chances.

  Rolen has played everyday since coming back, and Marty was saying he would probably get rest on day games after a night game.

  Ah, Cedeno struck out swinging instead of looking this time. That's...something, I guess. SMH...

  Xavier Paul ties shit up!

  Mccutcheon just looks like a total dirt bag. But kid can play.
• Midstate01

  

  These pirates announcers are god fucking awful too.
• Midstate01

  

  How the hell was that not strike 3????
• Rotinaj

  

  Reds offense has been awful for the last like 4 games aside from the one inning against the cards. Hopefully they can get it going for this road trip or they could be in for some trouble.
• Heretic

  

  And Walker drives in two to make it 3-1! All damage done with two outs, too. Very nice!
• SportsAndLady

  

  Fuck..3-1
  
  Why can't we beat the Pirates lol
