Well if it's too wet for my son to play his game tonight, maybe I'll take him down to see Cueto pitch. Guessing he will get a standing O.

Jesus Christ, Cueto can't hit his way out of a paper bag, and gets a two run single.

I'm going to reverse jinx this team right into the playoffs. Crap they are only through 3 so I may have jinxed them.

Reds are averaging only 22,600 in attendance. They generally draw much better during the Summer, but....

How many teams this year can say they are expected to break several MLB records?
The Reds are in a class all their own this season!

It's because they only have 1 left-handed pitcher in the bullpen. Brian Price is a terrible manager, but he can't play match ups with left handed hitters because Cingrani is all he has.

Reds need to go after Ray Searage, the Pirates pitching coach. That dude seems to turn around so many pitchers it's ridiculous.

Right handed starters get lefties out on a regular basis. Maybe they should share their secrets with the bullpen.

Reds had a pretty good pitching coach, but they blew it when they thought he was manager material. He should have stayed pitching coach and they should have kept Dusty.

It's to the point where watching the end of Reds games is entertaining in the sense that you can see JUST how hard baseballs can be hit.

Remember just a few years ago they talked about how great our pitching stock was in the minor leagues and how we'd blow everyone else away in that department? It was position players we lacked.. Now it seems we lack in both areas..
You just can't say enough about the upper management of the organization now can you?
