6/6 Reds offday/update

Well Last night didn’t go so well for the Cincinnati Reds, Here are some stats from last night’s Reds/Rockies game at Great American Ball Park.

Rockies Notes

 

The Rockies Left Fielder Carlos Gonzalez and SS Troy Tulowitizki were the stars of the game last night. Gonzalez not one, not two, but three HomeRuns during the Rockies 12-4 victory over the Reds. Gonzalez slugged a solo shot in the 1st inninng off, of Reds starter Padero Villarreal ( who was making an start for RHP Johnny Cueto, who went on the 15 Day DL.) Gonzalen then slugged a Two Run shot in the 4th that went an estimated 476 FT. Gonzalez’s last HomeRun of the night came in 8th. He ended the night with six Run’s batted in and Three hits. 

 

The Rockies Other star of the game was SS Troy Tulowitzki went 5-5 with 2 Home Runs of his own and a 3 RBI night. In all the Rockies hit six Home Runs and had 20 Hits. Gonzalez and Tulo went a combined ( 8-10, 6 Runs scored, and 9 Run’s Batted In ). 

 

Reds Notes

* Reds Pitcher’s allowed Six Home Runs during the 12-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies. The six HR were the most they have allowed since 9/9/07 vs the Brewers.

* Reds Pitchers allowed 20 hit’s in last night loss, The first time they have allowed, that to happen since pitchers game up 21 hits on 7/6/09 @ Philadelphia.

* Reds allowed 12 runs in nine innings ( Most this year ). They have allowed 10 Runs in the Previous 5 games combined.

In Paul’s starts this year (41), The Reds have a 30-11 record.

 ( The Reds outfielder is making the most of his playing time this year )

Center Fielder Shin Soo Choo last 34 Games .219/.379 ( 28-128 ) 38K, 26BB. Reds are 22-12 during that time frame.

Johnny Cueto is on the 15 Day DL, My guess is the Reds will call Tony Cingrani back up for the start.

 

Reds May Overview and June Outlook

 

            Cincinnati Reds was on fire, during the month of May. The Reds went 21-8 but are in 2nd place in the NL Central. The St. Louis Cardinals holds the top spot in the Central with a Record of 38-20 record, the Reds have a 36-23 Record and set 2.5 games back of the Cardinals. The Reds have the best Home record in all of Baseball at 21-8. Cincinnati is 15-15 on the Road, which is good because they started the season at whopping 1-8 away from Great American Ball Park. Shin Soo Choo’s Bat slowed down during the month of May, But his OBP is still great.

 

( Choo Leads Major League Base with 17 Hit By Pitches )

     Jay Bruce has been on fire after his little twitter Rant. During the month of May Bruce posted a 3 slash line of .290/.330/.600. Joey Votto during the month of May has a 3 slash line of .388/.492/.631 over all Joey is hitting .329 with 10 homeruns, along with 28 knocked in. His OBP is sitting at .451.

  

Jay Hit Seven Homerun’s in May along with 24 RBI. Bruce also has 18 Doubles, and a Triple. The Cincinnati starting Pitching was great in the Month of May. Mat Latos went 3-0, 4.45, 32.1IP, 12 BB, 25K. Homer Bailey was 2-2, 4.75 during the month May. The question has been the Reds bullpen this year. Chapman had two blown Back-to-Back saves and Jonathan Broxton has been struggling posting a 2-1,4.63 in 25 games this year. Sam Lecure has been Dusty Baker’s go to Guy, Lecure posted a 0.79 ERA in 11 games, in the month of may.

Reds Outlook

 

Today were are going to take a look at the Reds first five week’s of play. The Reds have a 19-15 record. They set, two game’s back of the 20-12 St. Louis Cardinals. The reds have five walk off, out of their 13 home wins. The 3 slash line for Reds at home .264/.344/.427 and 22 Home runs at Great American Ball Park. They have won all five series they have played at G.A.B.P. 2-1 vs LLA, 2-1 vs WASH, 3-0 vs PHI, 3-1 vs MIA, 2-1 vs CHC.

   Away from G.A.B.P is a different story for the Cincinnati Reds. They have a 3 slash line of   .224/.312/.329. and only 9 Home Runs. The have a 6-10 Road Record. The Only Road series win came in Chicago where they swept the Cubs. 1-2 @STL, 0-3 @PIT, 1-3 @WASH, 1-2 @STL, 3-0 @CHC.

 

 

Two of the bright spot’s of the Cincinnati Reds Lineup have been, CF Shin Soo Choo. Choo has been a on base machine for the Reds, Choo has a 3 slash line of .333/.465/.587. Choo  also lead the league in Hit-By- Pitches with eleven of them. Choo has also hit 7 Home runs and has 15 RBI.  The Other bright spot of the Reds offense is second baseman Brandon Phillips. Phillips has 3 slash line of .281/.324/.461, has 5HR, along with 29RBI.

 

The Reds have one of the best rotation’s in baseball Homer Bailey, Bronson Arroyo, Mike Leake, Tony Cingrani, Mat Latos. Johnny Cueto has been hurt but the Rookie Tony Cingrani has been a nice addition to the Reds pitching staff. Cingrani has had four start’s ( 24.1 IP, 7R, 7ER, 5BB, 30K). He is also a Left Hander with an above average fastball. Mat Latos has been light’s out for the Reds, since they picked up from the Padres. Latos this year has 3-0 record, along with a 2.23 ERA.
