Reds 6, Astros 1
W: Travis Wood, L: Aneury Rodriguez
We all knew this season was going to be tough. I think we might have gotten a little ahead of ourselves, at least I might have, with thinking this team might have some run scoring – minus homeruns – ability.
The last few games the offense has been horrid. Mr. Wallace cannot seem to buy a hit or walk with runners on the bases, yet he was doing so great you could hear the shouts of “bat him 3rd.” I think part of those shouts were to remove Hunter from hitting 3rd.
I’m not sure how Hunter has done it, but he’s having a pretty decent season to date.
Bourn seems to get on base and then gets left there.
Carlos Lee breaks my heart. I really wish him well. No one wants to go out the way it seems he may.
Drayton McLane may be gone by the end of the month, maybe even sooner. Jim Crane, who I know nothing about, is rumored to be the buyer. I just hope good things happen.
Nothing else to report except that Nelson was DFA’d last night.
