Reds Coming To Town
Written by Jonathan on May 2, 2008 – 4:26 pmThere’s good news and bad news about the Cincinnati Reds coming to Atlanta for a weekend series against the Braves.
Good News: We’re back in Atlanta where we have an 8-4 record. On the road, we have a paltry 4-11 record.
Bad News: We’re trying to figure out how to get the offense going to kick out of a 4 game losing streak.
Good News: The Reds aren’t having a stellar season, with a 12-17 record.
Bad News: We aren’t either, with our 12-15 record.
Good News: Tim Hudson’s doing well every other start, so he’s due.
Bad News: Edinson Volquez is pitching for the Reds and he’s on fire this season.
So that’s the meat of it. The real question tonight is whether or not the Braves can figure out Volquez, who has only given up 20 hits in 29+ innings so far this season. He’s carrying a 4-0 record and a 1.23 ERA only giving up 4 runs in his first 5 starts this season. On top of that, he’s struck out 33. Can the Braves find a way to crack through this hot streak. Volquez has only gone 5 innings in his last three starts; maybe we can beat up on the bullpen.

Two strikeouts for Hudson in the top of the first. 1-2-3 inning. Great start.

Runners on first and third with one out for Tex.

Another 1-2-3 inning for Hudson.

Voloquez strikes out the side in the bottom of the third. Looks like he’s living up to expectations.

Great night for Hud so far. I guess my theory of every other start was a solid one. I’d like to see a few more runs on the board here.
Welcome back, Travis.

Hudson still looking strong. Just hit 90 pitches in the top of the 8th.
I lost track of his strikout count though.
By Jonathan on May 2, 2008 | Reply
Hudson with a 98 pitch, 3 hit shutout through 8. I say Bobby should let him go for the complete game.

Bill Bray pitching for the Reds….I went to high school with this guy. Weird.
By Jonathan on May 2, 2008 | Reply
Hudson still in for the 9th. Thanks Bobby.
