August 1, 201214 yr Dude needs a laxative, or slimfast, or Jenny Craig, or a salad every once in a while. Wouldn't hurt.
August 1, 201214 yr Not sure if the Reds will drop a pitcher to bring up a catcher or not. I don't think a pro team ever goes without a back up catcher. And now that Phillips may miss a couple of games it could get very interesting if he gets a couple days vacation for the bump?
August 1, 201214 yr So when completely health the Reds bullpen will consist of some of the following: Chapman Marshall Broxy Lecure Massett Madsen Arredondo Bray Big O Simon Hoover Am I leaving anyone out? That's a tough group to join.
August 1, 201214 yr I don't think a pro team ever goes without a back up catcher. SD put their #1 on the DL and brought up a catcher from A ball. I don't think I've ever heard of that happening before.
August 1, 201214 yr Author I don't think a pro team ever goes without a back up catcher. And now that Phillips may miss a couple of games it could get very interesting if he gets a couple days vacation for the bump? Oh I'm about 99% sure they will bring up another catcher, but I'm not sure if they will drop a pitcher to make that move. It more than likely will be because I don't think they have too many position players that have options. Meso's suspension will definitely put the Reds in a bit of a bind. Especially if Phillips is out for an extended period.

That's a tough group to join. How come Broxton and Ondrusek are the only ones deserving of a nickname?
August 1, 201214 yr I was not a big fan of adding another bull pen stud at first, but remembered reading an article that 4 of the starters were on pace to have career high innings pitched. This may be an opportunity to give them a little extra rest so they don't fade by seasons end. I'd expect Dusty to have a little quicker trigger than he has so far this season.
August 1, 201214 yr How come Broxton and Ondrusek are the only ones deserving of a nickname? 1. Broxy likes to call himself Broxy. 2. Lazy.

I'm also happy b/c it seems far easier for a pitcher to come over from the AL and get better or more dominant than it is for a NL pitcher to go over there and dominate.

August 1, 201214 yr Broxton on twitter: Brox@Brox4AllStarz Brox thanks the good people of KansasTown. You were so nice to ol Broxy. Sorry for eating all the BBQ that one time. And that other time. Apparently he speaks in the third person :lol: Turns out this was a fake Twitter account.

Pretty good stuff. :thumb: Doesn't he weigh in at about 300 lbs? Edited August 1, 201214 yr by Flotsam

[ATTACH=CONFIG]37056[/ATTACH] When I first read the tweet, I loved his sense of humor. I was hoping he had a personality comparable to Brian Wilson. Shame that's not his real Twitter Account.
August 5, 201214 yr It's early but I'm liking the addition for sure. Like I said intially, I'm never upset about adding pitching.
