Frieri was pretty much a disaster, though he'll be back in September. Maybe some time with Jim Benedict/Tom Filer at Indy will help square him up - he needs an offspeed pitch and in a hurry.

Big win tonight. Tomorrow is big as well...Hey Ron,<br />Big win tonight. Tomorrow is big as well. Looking ahead to August, our Buccos have a quite a tall task ahead of them. <br /><br />While we have one of the best HOME records in all MLB, our road success has been tough to come by. Unfortunately, we play 17 (out of 26 ) in September on the road in Atlanta, St Louis, Cincinnati, Philly and Chicago - jeesh - like you said hopefully Cole and Frankie can give us 5/6 more like there last ones.<br /><br />Interesting to see the Buccos make the mid-season move with Pedro. I've long been a fan of this switch and I have to give them credit for trying such an unorthodox move. The Bull hitting three bombs helps. Ike tonight - wow - even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile.<br /><br />I like our team - need to find a way to keep Russ. his OBP is crazy. combined with his leadership and D. <br /><br />Still bummed Grilli is gone. that deal did not work out so well for the Buccos as we could use Jason in the pen.<br /><br />love the blog<br />-Cincy Bucco <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
