Johnny Cueto vs Chad Billingsley

Billingsley had nothing on them the last meeting....hoping for much of the same.

Bit premature, ya?

actually I was 24 days over my due date

Fewer mistakes last night and a well played game breaking the streak.

Another monkey off back....another win wanted. Phillips stepped up last night.....we need someone else to do it tonight.

Tonights Lineup:

Phillips 4
Stubbs 8
Votto 3
Rolen 5
Gomes 7
Bruce 9
Hernandez 2
Janish 6
Cueto 1

That looks like a winning lineup.

For the while I'd have Hernandez 5th





our 7th and 8th hitters are very good for those spots....which can help

Back in early May I spoke of needing Phillips in the #1 or #2 hole as opposed to the #4......I was stupid by some:

Phillips would be as much of a disaster in the 1 spot as he is in the 4 spot.

I'm holding out hope that the lineup was switched back only because of the Rolen off day today. But I think we all know that BP will be in the clean up spot for the vast, vast majority of the season.

Anddddd Volquez walks in a run

Cueto with terrible control here in the 1st Inning over 30+ pitches and 3 walks and 7 batters come to the plate and L.A. lead 1-0 after 1

The Riot seems to kill the Reds.

Cueto is throwing some straight balls

straight ball to Ethier

Paul Keels: "Ethier pops one to centerfield"

Paul it went 430 feet for a HR.......get the heartrate over 60 and call it a shot or whatever. I didn't watch the hit but heard Keels' call and thought he just hit a routine fly to CF....not 80 ft further.

Keels just mentioned Janish losing his 5 game hitting streak......pet peeve

Dodgers just playing HomeRun derby tonight ..... I HATE the Reds TV Crew

uh......how's that straightball working? 4 HR in 5 batters

Keels again:

"Phillips gets on the curveball"


He hit it 180 feet.

yeah my bad by the way....definitely not edinson pitching lol...but yeah cueto looks a tad off....just a tad

Let's go Mike Leake.....sparkplug

Billingsley just took 6 seconds to get to 1st and cost himself a single

My son who is going into 1st grade ran to 1st at the Reds kidzone in 5.11 seconds

less than 10 pitches for Leake.........bottom of the order to the rescue!

Hernandez and Janish batting 12th and 13th both get hits and now Leake is batting

no outs

Strike 3 on Leake was terrible!!

Hernandez and Janish have OPSs way better than Stubbs, Gomes and Bruce
