Rudy's Cincinnati Reds Season

I rested some guys as my team is quite tired. I got a great pitching performance and even took him a little too long because he was spent. But my bullpen needed the rest. What cost me big time was the inability to cash in runs. I had 7 hits and 3 walks but only 2 runs off a Joey Votto HR. He continues to rack up the homers and RBI but also the strikeouts (3 more today). I had the bases loaded and couldn't get any home one inning. Ugh. What made the sweep more frustrating was the throwing error that allowed the winning run and it wasn't even scored an error.

Gave up a HR to Chipper today. Mistake pitch as I tried to go inside up and in but it fell over the plate and he crushed it. Going up and in on guys with a fastball is best left to guys with good heaters. I took a little off some of my pitches (Classic - just tapped the button) to try to be a little more accurate at times. I fell behind McCann 3-1 so I tried to bean him but he somehow managed to get out of the way.

What are you thinking thus far in your Reds season?

I'm liking this team so far. I need to get Jay Bruce going and some of my weaker hitters are really sucking which kills my rallies along with my pitchers. I'm thinking this team misses one more good bat, particularly a nice lead off hitter. I've got some good hitters in Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto, Jay Bruce and Edwin Encarnacion. Chris Dickerson is also a nice young hitter but my SS in Alex Gonzalez isn't a good hitter. Tavares is a terrible hitter even though he has speed. He doesn't hit for average and has zero power. Ramon Hernandez has really stunk hitting the ball at catcher and I may move him to the bottom of the order.

Overall the hitters aren't a particularly powerful group. In my one fantasy magazine, not a single player is projected to hit 30 HRs although four are projected in the 20s. Without Dunn, this team won't hit a ton of HRs. I'm disappointed in my top 3 pitchers so far. Volquez finally got me a quality start and hasn't been too bad. Harang has been awful and Arroyo gives up too many HRs. Cueto has been great.

I tied up this morning's game 2-2 in the bottom of the 7th but blew it in the 8th. Should have brought in Cordero to face the top of the lineup and they have scored 3 runs (and counting - in game save). I'm down 5-2 today although I did rest both Votto and Encarncion as they were pretty tired. Votto came in for a clutch pinch hit double in the 7th that scored a run and he also scored as well.

I like the stadium although it appears as if I never get full sun for any games like Comerica has. I'm frustrated with losing lately but I'm not touching my pitching or hitting sliders. In fact, I haven't touched those sliders all year! This includes my Tiger season. I've only tweaked the error sliders and fatigue sliders.

I like Arroyo when he was in Boston, but he did give up to man HR's there as well.

Volquez was great for Fantasy ball last year, but everyone seems to be predicting a 4+ ERA for him this year.

And Harang is such a streaky dude.


As for sliders....
I'm going to post what changes I've made in the sliders thread.

I just got pounded the last two games I played and am pretty frustrated right now. I think I'll finish off the Houston series and then go back to the Tigers for a little. I need to clear my head. I'll post the game logs below. More costly throwing errors for my team (still not a single recorded fielding error though in 21 games).
