Reds-Cubs thread

[JohnU]

Wait till Ludwick comes up. Then you will see the Big Red Machination.

 

[ChicagoIrish]

I doubt that out does our .230 hitting stud 1st baseman.

 

[JohnU]

Votto with one to the track ... that's as good as it gets tonight for the Reds.

 

[JohnU]

 

[ChicagoIrish]

Welp, this game is over. Unless Travis Wood hits a 2 run homer.

Hit the showers boys.

 

[JohnU]

Latos doesn't do so well after the 6th inning.
As a rule.

 

[ChicagoIrish]

Lucky for us, we're playing for another draft pick.

This way us Cubs fan can continue to talk about our future, without ever having to prove anything, because from here on out, we're "stocking the system"!

So looking good thus far!

 

[JohnU]

Matty meltin' down?

 

[JohnU]

I think Reds fans can relate to the wait. From 2001 to 2010, that was pretty dismal. It took a lot of patience and the farm system is too hard to evaluate.

 

[JohnU]

Reds have no bullpen activity? Again, gotta love Dusty's forward thinking.

 

[JohnU]

Dusty gives up on the inning. Leaves Latos in. This is a disaster ready to happen.

 

[ChicagoIrish]

Dusty is a joke, specially when it comes to pitchers.

Trust me, I've been through the Dusty experiment as well.

 

[JohnU]

Latos is exceeding my expectations. Looks like Chapman now.

 

[bengaldoug]

Kind of looks like that should be it for Matty, but we'll see.

 

[bengaldoug]

If Chapman keeps throwing that slider he's immortal.

 

[ChicagoIrish]

Same thing I said a few years ago about Carlos Marmol.

 

[bengaldoug]

The thing about Marmol is he never could throw his fastball for a strike.

 

[JohnU]

Chappy just gets wild enough to make his fastball unhittable and his slider almost criminal.

 

[Ryanballa]

We got Mr. No No going tonight. Hopefully the offense can get on the Cubs early and often and Homer can coast to a Win.

 

[JohnU]

Samardzija will be tougher than Wood but at least he's not a lefty.
