Put away your broom, SC; Cueto mows down Houston, Bruce hits another bomb and the Reds win 6-0.
Did you see the play Cozart made on your "Rookie of the Year"? Youza!
Didn't hear you mouthing off last night.... we're you sleeping??
I guess the Astros waived their magic Wandy at you.....

Originally posted by shortcircuitHis 2-8 record with a 5.36 ERA last year might have had something to do with him not "breaking camp" for the DisAstros. To be fair, he did pitch a decent game against the Reds last August 3 (7IP, 3 ER) to get his first major league win after 6 losses. But that's the most you can expect this time and it won't be good enough against Latos now that he's pitching to form (7 scoreless innings last start).
LOL...this kid is going to be something special very soon.
It would be nice if it is now.
The only reason he didn't break camp with the big club is that he had options.
Houston's slash line against Latos in his four starts against them: .165/.198/.216
Maybe you'll get a run ........................................

This time, watch his new pitch. Makes that fastball that much better.
And, for your information, the reason he didn't break camp with the club in the spring
is because Lucas Harrell was outstanding in the spring and Kyle Weiland also pitched well.
Let's see what happens. This kid will be another Oswalt in time.
I guess you will poo poo Oswalt too, even though he was better than the ENTIRE current
Reds pitching staff.

Originally posted by shortcircuitHe looked OK, a little wild with three walks and that got his pitch count up - 95 after 6. Not sure why your manager let him lead off the 7th and then pulled him without facing a batter in the bottom half.
Never said he was Cy Young......yet.
The kid is going to be VERY good, if he doesn't get hurt.
Reds hung on to win it 6-5.
Phillips laid out to save a hit by Bogusevic in the 9th.

Carlos Lee has the sprained ankle, or maybe he wasn't sure he wasn't going to go
out to pitch the bottom half of the inning. This team, with the manager included, is
prone to having brain farts.
