Cueto feeling good
News of Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto is spreading all over twitter right now that he is feeling better and ready to come back. I wanted to post these tweets on here so everyone can take a look for themselves. Getting Johnny Cueto back in the rotation healthy will really help this ball club out. Tony Cingrani has been pitching great in Cueto’s spot but having the Reds number one starter back will really boost this team.
My boys in St Louis tell me that Cueto threw 45 pitches off the mound today and felt good, threw everything #Reds

Cueto is going to talk with Bryan Price, but he thinks he’s ready for a minor league rehab outing @cincienquirer #reds

Cueto threw 45 pitches off the mound. “Pretty good. Breaking balls. Everything. #reds @cincienquirer

I don’t know what will happen with Leake, Cingrani when Cueto returns. Cingrani has obviously been better so far. #reds @cincienquirer

Why?
Pittsburgh Pirates fans have been very vocal about this series at Great American Ball Park and want blood for Chapman and Leake hitting their players. A few fans have suggested that their best pitcher who is coming off of a great game should go out there today and hit a Reds player in order to get revenge and get a message out there. What? I won’t include the quote because seriously I really don’t understand the logic. Why would a team which is down 2-0 in the series want to get their best pitcher ejected from the game for something so stupid? I have stayed off of twitter and have not posted much about this series because the Pirates fans are really out head hunting right now and I don’t have the patience to get into an argument with someone over something so dumb. There was no intention behind those pitches. Both pitchers were trying to get the pitches inside and they hit the batters, that is all. If Burnett hits a batter today, the umps will be all over the Pirates and they are only making this worse for themselves. One thing many Pirates fans are not talking about is the fact that they are not facing Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips or Johnny Cueto and still are losing.
I for one will not be upset if Burnett hits one of the Reds players today. I will not go crazy with rage and think it is intentional and I will not go to every Pirates message board out there and post how I think their team should be fined and banned…. LOL Because, as a baseball fan, I understand one very important thing, it is BASEBALL!!!!!!!
And to those Pirates fans out there that do read this, please don’t bash me for writing this. I am just trying to understand the logic behind some of your fans. I have nothing but respect for the Pirates (At the start of the season I predicted them to be 2nd in the division.) Even when your players pretty much acted like babies when they did get hit, I still have respect for the team. So please keep your mean comments to yourselves and have a nice season.
What month is it?
Johnny Cueto is pitching today and I thought I would add his career stats month by month so everyone can see how well he has done in August in the past.

The Reds have faced Jaime Garcia already this early season and hopefully they can get the win against him again tonight.
In two games this season he has thrown his 81 mph change-up 41 times (24.4%) 53.7% of them being strikes, 46% swing, 24% whiff and only 7% foul while 14.6% were put in play. He has also thrown a 4-seam fastball 20% of the time, slider 19%, 2-seam fastball 18.5%, cut fastball 9.5% and a curveball 8.3%. His season at-bat results are single 26.5%, strikeout 14%, groundout 14%, flyout 14%, walk 6%, pop out, double and grounded into DP 4%, sac bunt, sac fly, forceout, fielder choice out, lineout and triple are at 2%.
Last game Garcia’s at-bat results vs. the Reds were very interesting. Single 40%, Strikeout 16%, Groundout 12% and Walk, Sac Fly, Pop Out, Grounded Into DP, Sac Bunt, Forceout, Double and Flyout were all at 4%. [Source]

Opening Day
Opening Day was just the start! There are many great things yet to come for Cincinnati Reds in 2012. Johnny Cueto pitched 7 great innings allowing 3 hits, 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. Then Aroldis Chapman and Sean Marshall pitched one inning each with 2 strike outs each. Starting SS Zack Cozart went 2 for 4 with 1 run and Jay Bruce went 1 for 3 with a great home run off of Edward Mujica in the 8th inning.
The Reds went 10 for 30 with 4 runs, 4 RBIs, 4 walks and 5 strikeouts leaving 19 on base. Not a bad day at the office. The one thing that sticks out the most of this game was when Drew Stubbs laid down a bunt his first at bat and got on base with his speed. I didn’t think I could jump that high anymore. In order for Stubbs to really cut back on those strikeouts he is going to have to be willing to do something like that at every at bat and seeing that first one really impressed me a lot. “Drew Stubbs singles on a bunt ground ball to second baseman Omar Infante.” [Source]
Now that the season has begun, we all can take a deep breath once again and get ready for the rest of the season. Go Reds!
What will come first?
I wanted to have some fun and see what everyone thought about some of these questions. I could have started a poll for each but would rather have comments so then you can discuss your decisions.
