Reds Win on Road

Decent win for the Reds against another struggling team, but we'll take what we can get.

A couple of obersvations.

Danny was shaky again. He's lost a little zip on his pitches and he isn't getting the ball over the plate, and that's killing him. Did you see how the ball broke against the last batter he faced? That sharp downward break to the knees? He absolutely froze that guy. That's how closers pitch.

Jr and some of the bats seem to be warming up a little. That's good news. This team is scoring less than last year's team to date, and they need to score runs in bushels, and have the pitching improve in a realistic fashion (ie suck less), to be even remotely competitive.

Ramon pitched really poorly. A lot of walks, no Ks. Ouch. The bats and a little luck got us that win.

We haven't won a series since late April. We need to get one of these two to at least start to feel like we are in the game again.

I worry that Ryan Wagner's arm is going to fall off by August.
