|Bunghole| Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I watched a decent bit of that game last night and Arroyo was practically untouchable. He pitched [i]really[/i] well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 The Reds have 3 losses. Masset has 2 of them. Unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 To be fair, it was Leake that put them in the original position to lose before we regained the lead. And then lost it again. To the Diamondbacks. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalRep85-9 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 They need to look at Volquez real closely and see what needs to be fixed. Something is wrong. 2 straight hits to lead off the game, a walk, then hits the next batter to force in a run. Only gave up 2 runs but it would have been worse had it not been for an excellent diving catch by Heisy in center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalRep85-9 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Whatever was done or said after the 1st needs to be the way it is the rest of the year. He was LIGHTS OUT after the 1st. Leaves after 6 (88 pitches) with a 3-2 lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly not where we'd all like him to be, but in each of his three outings he's progressively gotten better from outing to outing. I don't know how much his visa issue cut into his spring training, but maybe he just needed a few extra games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw more while warming up and he'll get past some of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't know that warmup pitches will necessarily solve that, but rather than that, maybe have him warmup throwing some pitches to Votto and Rolen, who have good eyes and won't just swing at anything. Even if they don't swing I think it would be good for him to face a live batter down in the bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalRep85-9 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Whatever it is, something needs to be done about the 1st inning with him. Have him throw more warm up pitches or give him a xanax or something. Hopefully the way he pitched after the 1st will continue into his next start and beyond.

Inigo Montoya Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hanigan and Janish are starting tonight against a lefty. Bruce is batting 7th. Big start for LeCure. Just needs to give us a chance and not blow it early against a weak offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Not that the offense needs any help, but Jay Bruce could really use some help. He is at 8 hits and 15 strikeouts this year. He was really starting to come on at the end of last year and now he has seemed to regress to a terrible pitch selection. His defense is great, but Jay could be right there with Joey V in the MVP discussion if he just takes better pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With them not playing great, we still have a decent offense. With them playing well we have the best offense. Its early but it would be nice if they start to get on a lil role.
