August 12, 201511 yr Since there is so little discussion about the current Reds, can we just have one "Track The Reds" thread like the good old days? Nobody wants to start a thread for each series, and there isn't really any place to discuss the current games (as if anybody cared!) Lorenzen started tonight vs. San Diego. He got rocked. 7 runs in 1 1/3 IP. Reds are currently down 11-1 in the top of the 5th inning. At what point do the Reds move Lorenzen to the bullpen? I think it's sooner, rather than later.
August 12, 201511 yr Author BP has 2 hits tonight and got robbed of another hit at the wall (possibly a HR).
August 12, 201511 yr Author As of August 9th, Todd Frazier hitting was .189 with a .221 OBP since the beginning of July. Since August 9th, he has gone 0-5.
August 12, 201511 yr ^ The lone RBI tonight. I don't see any reason to move Lorenzen until he reaches his innings limit. Let the kid work through it.
August 12, 201511 yr I like Lorenzen and see a lot of potential in his stuff, but my goodness his numbers are beyond brutal. You won't find many starting pitchers in the league with a worse stat line than he has. I do see his long-term future as a bullpen arm, but I agree with HT. You let him take his lumps until he hits his innings limit.
August 12, 201511 yr 2 of the 4 outs Lorenzen got were great plays by Hamilton. Yikes. Just remember that Glavine was 9-21 w/ a ~5.00 ERA in his 1st year and 1/2 ('87 partial & '88 full) with the Braves and Smoltz was 2-7 w/ a 5.48 ERA in 1988. Not saying any of these kids are going to the HOF, but even the great ones have a learning curve.
August 12, 201511 yr Author Well, Frazier had a bit of a slumpbuster last night with 3 hits, including a HR. It'd be nice to see him rebound a bit and finish strong, especially since he's on my fantasy team. :lol:
August 13, 201511 yr Iglesias was dealing after the 1st 3 batters. Diaz, Hoover & Chapman did their jobs. Votto might be shaking off the recent mini-slump. HR to CF was a bomb (which it pretty much has to be in SD). Will be interesting to see the reaction to Latos in LAD. Can't remember if they faced him in MIA (but I do seem to recall them getting swept in a 4 game series there right before the All Star break.
August 13, 201511 yr Iglesias seems to have that one mistake per game and lately it's been a HR. Outside of that he has been terrific. I really like what I see with him.

August 14, 201511 yr John Lamb called up for tomorrow nights start! He will wear Cueto's #47 . That's not right...at least wait a season.
