Did I mention I fucking hate the Braves? Pitching match-ups?

Latos vs Hudson - Reds
Arroyo vs Medlen - Braves
Bailey vs Minor - Even
Cingrani vs Teheran - Even

I'd guess the series is a split, with the Reds winning game 1, Braves game 2, Braves game 3 and Reds game 4. Of course, when we re-visit this on Sunday, I'll be completely wrong.

Reds will win 3 of 4 and get some breaks.

There's a reason why, in the Sheep League, Votto is undefeated in match-ups with Liam Neeson.

Reds get swept in a 4 game series right before the ASB and feel shitty about themselves just like in Philly in 2010.

I literally don't know how in Dusty's mind, he justifies putting cozard at the 2 spot every day. It's mind boggling

I have a couple friends and a family member who say "Cozart isn't the problem..shortstops aren't supposed to be a huge production position offensively."

Idk if it's just the Cinci media backing Dusty or what..but it's insanity!

No one expects huge production from Cozy....but we all expect him to bat 7th, 8th or 9th.

Yeah, that's what I'd say is the thing. Bringing out a solid/good defensive ss every day when he's betting .230-40 isn't an issue. It's the placing him in the #2 spot instead of 7-8 that's more of the problem because when you have guys like Votto, Phillips, Bruce in the 3-4-5 spots, it's usually nice to have them come to the plate in an RBI situation.

I wouldn't mind them experimenting with moving Votto to #2, Phillips to #3, and Bruce to #4. As a starting pitcher, it would have to suck battling Votto and Choo back-to-back in the order.

Literally all he had to do was hit a fly ball. That's it.

Should be bases loaded 1 out. Bp tries to do the same thing he did yesterday with the Deek. Doesn't work. Then Frazier swings at ball 4.

Score 2...give up 2.

Both pitchers look terrible.

That means the Braves will win like 11-2.

That ball 4 pitch to McCann was a strike. Throws the next pitch to uggla in exact same spot and its a strike. You could see latos say it when he turned around too
