Please don’t ever again say that you “hooked up” with Bill at a Reds game ‘cause I’m going to think that it means you disappeared for three innings and missed the walk-off homer, if you know what I’m sayin’

screwed me over. He didn’t get home to meet us ‘til 1:30 and by that time it was nap time. I was fuming. I was gonna call you back but I didn’t think venting about my jack-off neighbor was the way to go at that point. Sorry.

Never thought I'd be able to say this...

Three Reds starters are in the MLB top-10 in strikeouts, with one of them leading the way with 52.

I can’t remember when we had a starting staff that got as many swings and misses as this one, and Homer isn’t even up with the big club yet.

I also can’t remember when we ever had a starting staff with two guys who have fastballs that sit around 94-96 mph.

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

by rojosoto on May 7, 2008 3:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Run support

Volquez now with 44 runs in support over 7 starts
Cueto only 19 runs scored in his 7 starts

Media keeps saying Harang has the worst team run support, but Cueto has him beat in that department.

by rojosoto on May 7, 2008 3:43 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I'd call Harang's 22 over 8 starts just as bad.

Arroyo has 28 in 7 starts
Foggy had 19 in 3 starts
Belisle has 14 in 3 starts

If only we could move Arroyo’s, Fogg’s, and Belisle’s runs to Cueto and Harang, we’d be at .500. And 2 of every 5 games would be awful to watch.

And then...

What happens with all of EVs runs that he didn’t need having an ERA of 1.06. He hasn’t needed very many of those 44 runs.

Nothing more frustrating to me than a team hitting everything when the starting pitcher doesn’t need it.

Very nice the Reds returned the shutout favor. Helps when the Cubs left 12 on base though too..

Harang vs. Cueto

Right, they both getting little. They were making that claim (that Harang had worst support on the team) before last night’s game.
Cueto was 19 in 7 and Harang was 22 in 7. Not a big difference, and they were just trying to justify Harang’s 1-4 record.

The Reds have scored 4 runs in three of Harang’s starts and 5 runs in a 4th start.
The Reds have scored 3 runs in three of Cueto’s starts and 5 runs in a 4th start, the only Cueto start with more than 3 Reds runs scored.

the most earned runs volquez has given up in a game is one…

i think he is a good pitcher

and with Cueto going 6, and Harang and EV going 7 the bullpen is well rested to mop up after Belisle and Arroyo.

I was running errands w/Mrs. M all afternoon – missed most of the game.
Man love for Dunn
Glad to see that Corey is living up to his rep.
Damn I missed this game after spending all that money last night$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

did anyone see Ankiel throw out Wily Taveras?

Taveras tagged up from 2nd and Ankiel threw it from the warning track. Taveras, being an ALS, should make that base standing up. i wish MLB allowed shit like this on the YouTube, cuz i need to see that again. they should make him a pitcher with that kind of arm.
