First.
Why are you working the permit's desk, and why was that child clubbing your nuggets? ~ Ron Swanson

At least the playoff rotation will be good (if they can make it there, of course)
At this point in time it figures to be Arroyo, Cueto, Bailey. Maybe Wood instead of Cueto. Not too shabby.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
Hmm
I would not call that a good playoff rotation. In fact I’d call it bad. And it’s strange to say that Wood might supplant Cueto.
It would be nice to have a lefty in there, and I'm not exactly convinced on Cueto yet personally.
Wood is really good. If he can be more consistent he could be near the top of the rotation.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
Cueto is our best starter, considering the combination of his track record and potential
I don’t really know what you mean about Cueto proving himself. Only Arroyo is more proven, for better or worse.
I'm not watching this shit anymore.
Let me know if something cool happens.

See that, Volquez?
LeCure isn’t nearly as talented as you and he gets outs. I mean, that was only one, but Volquez would have walked several batters before getting that one out.

Is it fair to say that Cleveland has done a nice job ...
… without anybody noticing … this is a pretty good pitching staff, at least this weekend.
I do a lot of stupid shit, but I'm not an idiot. - JCH24
I think people have noticed Cleveland.
Mostly with a “is this really happening?” response. Apparently, they had this all planned out starting with the CC trade.
Mostly, I think everyone expected the Twins to win it ... everyone else behind them

I can't answer that at the moment
we’ve been hit by so many buses in this game that I haven’t bothered to check the license plates

Bruce homer.
I can hardly contain my excitement
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
I can only muster a half hearted
“whoop!” at that. Volq crushed my spirit.
and the crowd goes wild

Why is no one ever on base
when Reds get a nice hit?
Good hustle by Lewis there.
Glad to see they aren’t giving up.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
Lewis isn't exactly impressive ...
… so the jury is still in the smoking room about that.
He at least puts the ball in play most of the time.

I don't sense an automatic out with Flewis.
That’s a huge improvement.
I sense this is a team
that flat out gets angry at starts from Volquez. They might not win but they’ll put up a fight.
Dusty is going to associate this lineup with a bad memory now.
Gomes will be starting all year.

At this point I don't really see him as an MLB player.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
He'd almost have to be mop-up
you can’t bring someone from the bullpen in pressure situations if they are relying on prayers to find the strike zone all the time.
How on Earth does EV fit in the bullpen? You put him in ... when?
… so he can walk the first four guys he faces, then gives up a home run?
Sorry … he needs to fix his shit in Lousyville, not the bullpen. Just like Chapman did.

I agree, Poodle ... that's likely to be what happens.
I do a lot of stupid shit, but I'm not an idiot. - JCH24
I think he gets til the ASB to prove himself in the rotation
unless hi next 3 starts are like this one, I think he’ll get that long
He just started throwing a couple days ago, IIRC.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
I haven't heard ... he still has some "injury"

Ichiro would've broke the record
has he not been so old when he got to ML.

dammmmmmmmmit ...
Our guy goes 6 great innings (Bailey) and we get 1 run.
Their guy goes 6 great innings and our pitcher gives them 7 runs.
What is wrong with this picture?

Sam is giving up way too many of those.

After watching EV, I'm just thankful that LeCure hasn't given up runs.
I’m no longer worried about how he’s gotten there.

How it sucks when your starter makes you climb the hill like this.
Reds can win if their rotation keeps the offense in the game.

GABP is the great equalizer.

It looked like Volky got snubbed on some high fives in the dugout there.

Plus, it kinda looked like the outfielders were half-assing it to some of the balls
not that I super-much blame them
I'ma watch us hit this inning (cuz I love Votto)
but that’s prolly gonna be all the time I spend on this trainwreck
i'm gunna try to enjoy the rest of this day
