Arroyo was throwing pitches that I used to see in eighth grade knothole.

Oh and the local media is a joke as well. Zach Buchanan who covers the Reds for the Enquirer wrote the cutest little story about Bronson making sure he had his snacks and double-flap helmet ready for his big start! What a joke. These guys are all spineless. Then yesterday that Zach Buchanan guy is on Twitter literally making fun of people who think Arroyo being out there is stupid. He was all for it at the beginning of the year, and so now he can never come off it. Instead, he says things like "oh by the way Twitter reactionaries, the fate of the world will not be decided by today's game". Whoa! Zinger! He got us! We're all just dumb Reds fans bc we don't understand why Bronson Arroyo pitching every 5 days is actually brilliant! Pff... |

I mean:
DeSclafani, Garrett, Davis, Finnegan, Reed, Stephenson, Lorenzen, Iglesias, Hamilton, Votto, Peraza, Suarez, Duvall, Schebler, Herrera, Romano, Winker, Senzel...Is this not the group we're going to try to win with? They're all here now, or getting damn close. Also, Arroyo being up forced us to send Astin down and also has us using Finnegan to pinch hit bc the bench is so short. Why not let Reed makes starts in AAA, maybe Stephenson too if you see him as a starter still, and have Astin in the bullpen and add another bench player? Someone like Adelman could fill in at the #5 starter until Disco is back. And I know Adelman isn't good, but at least he can get through 6 and actually get major leaguers out.

Reds bullpen recorded 21 straight outs last night. What a difference a year makes. Last year they couldn't get a out. Still would like to see Lorenzen in the rotation at some point but the young arms are having some very solid moments be it early in the year.

I can agree to a point Jake but the. Slye of a starting pitcher especially one with his stuff is tough to pass on. He looks like a much more trfined pitcher then the one who started as a rookie.
