May 23, 201610 yr Sadly, yes. Problem is when the Redlegs get a few runs up, they have to play the remaining innings of the game. Gets 'em in trouble every time.
May 23, 201610 yr Hamilton is May - .268 .293 .375 Not great, but better. Hope he can continue to improve.
May 23, 201610 yr Author Hamilton is May - .268 .293 .375 Not great, but better. Hope he can continue to improve. Certainly better than Votto, time for Votto to take a 15 day break.
May 23, 201610 yr Most believe Daniel Wright will be called up to start Tuesday. 0.79 ERA over 34 IP in AA and AAA 32 K 5 BB
May 23, 201610 yr Author Anybody else starting to get the sinking feeling that we got screwed in these trade deals. Half the pitchers acquired are on the DL.
May 23, 201610 yr Anybody else starting to get the sinking feeling that we got screwed in these trade deals. Half the pitchers acquired are on the DL. What exactly are you talking about? Finnegan starting tonight. Lamb started Saturday. Reed tearing it up in Triple-A. Mella pitching very well in Daytona. Rookie Davis lights out in AA. (just went on the DL). So they got 5 pitchers in deals, and only one of them is on the DL....

May 23, 201610 yr DeSclafani - DL Iglesias - DL Raisel Iglesias is a Cuban defector & was signed as a free agent.
May 23, 201610 yr Iglesias was signed out of Cuba like how Chapman was. DeSclafani was acquired in the Latos deal before the season started last year
May 23, 201610 yr Author Raisel Iglesias is a Cuban defector & was signed as a free agent. Iglesias was signed out of Cuba like how Chapman was. DeSclafani was acquired in the Latos deal before the season started last year Beat me to it! Thats what the Reds site says too, MLB says acquired in trade 2014. Thats odd.
May 23, 201610 yr Kansas City Royals have trade interest in Jay Bruce - Red Reporter It would be impossible for the calendar to turn to trade season without Jay Bruce's name popping up immediately. With the Cincinnati Reds in obvious rebuild mode and Bruce rapidly approaching the end of his contract, it's all but certain that we'll see the idea of trading the veteran RF bounced around both in the Cincinnati media and anywhere a sweet swinging lefty bat would improve a lineup. The first such instance leaked on Sunday, when Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe mentioned that the Kansas City Royals were keeping tabs on Bruce. On the surface, it's an idea that makes a bit of sense, albeit one that might have made more at last year's July 31st deadline when Alex Rios was struggling mightily for the Royals in RF and Jay Bruce had yet to suffer through the miserable slump that ended his 2015 season. Kansas City stayed in-house to replace Rios after winning the World Series - turning over RF to a combination of Jarrod Dyson and Paulo Orlando - but so far have only been able to claim a pedestrian .686 OPS from RF this year. So yeah, you'd think that Bruce's .270/.327/.518 start to the season would be an instant upgrade.
May 23, 201610 yr Certainly better than Votto, time for Votto to take a 15 day break. Looked up at the board while walking down an aisle yesterday. Couldn't believe that the last home game in May had Billy with a higher average than Votto.
May 23, 201610 yr Vegas don't like the Reds chances tonight, -380 is about as big a favorite as you will see.
