Myers has great stuff, but at times he tries to overthrow the ball and not just trust his stuff. He had no location on his fastball today.
Still if anybody faced that Volquez kid today I don't know if anybody would have beat him. Him and Cueto will be a nice 1-2 punch for the Reds the next 5-7 years.

Don't count the Phillies out. They suck every April. I am worried about their pitching though. Maybe Myers belongs in the bullpen and they should have got another starter instead of Lidge. Things worked last year, so why the change? I also think the phils may have been a little cocky and overconfident this spring. You can not turn it on and off like a switch. Hopefully they don't fall too far behind. It gets old having to play catchup every year. I still think whoever stays the healthiest between the phils, mets and braves will win that division.
And yes I am a Phillies fan.

I just broke down today's matinee against the Reds.
Be careful backing Hamels, Phils have had virtually no success versus Red starter Arroyo.
I was leaning Hamels, until I learned that Phil's hit as a team .238 against Arroyo, and get this? they have a putrid .298 OBA against Bronson.
.298? That's just wrong.
Under is the play here.

You gotta watch out what you infer from those stats. Those are career numbers. Arroyo didn't even face the Phillies in 2006 or 2007 when the Phillies had the highest scoring lineup in the National League. Reds were horrible during the day last year... they had the 2nd highest ERA. Bronson follows suit with those stats and has gone a combined 8-16 during the day during his last 3 years. On the other hand, Hamels got 15 K's in his only start against the Reds last year. So hows that for a breakdown. I'm riding the current trends.
Let's not include the Red Sox as a team struggling with their bats. lets not forget this poor team has traveled all over the fukin globe to begin the season, whoever made this scheduled sure did fuk them.
if they were a .500 team after that worldwind tour that would be something to talk about. tomorrow they open at home and at least rest today and will blow someone the fuk out tomorrow.
