June 22, 201610 yr ^Terrible fundamental throw up 6 runs in the 8th to throw to n plate But it worked. If it's 4-2, it's a terrible fundamental throw (unless it hits the cutoff man in the noggin). At 8-2, I don't mind it. What IS undoubtedly a bad decision is for the 3B coach to send a "lumbering" runner home down 8-2 on a shortish fly ball where the CF's momentum was coming in to catch it. Best case, you're down 8-3 with 2 outs and a runner on 2B. Worst case, you're down 8-2 and the inning is over. If you hold him, you're down 8-2 with 2 outs and a HR gets you to within 3.
June 22, 201610 yr What is the plan with Iglesias? Keep him in the bullpen due to concerns about his shoulder? IIRC, Iglesias was never a starter in his time with Cuba. He only began starting last season in AAA before being put in the rotation. They may look at extending him again in the Fall/Winter, but the more I think about it, the more I think they'd be better suited to have he and Lorenzen as the back-end of the bullpen. 2 years from now, or next season even, think of this pitching staff.... Reed Stephenson Desclafani Garrett Bailey Finnegan Cingrani Lorenzen Iglesias Throw in a couple other arms (Mella, Rookie Davis, Travieso, Lamb, Mahle) and that could be a very effective staff and bullpen.
June 22, 201610 yr ^ He also keeps having a reoccurring shoulder issue. They aren't sure he can handle the workload.

I agree on all counts. The Reds have a bunch of young, talented pitching and the future isn't as bleak as some would suggest.
June 22, 201610 yr Lorenzen activated from DL. Simon to the DL. Jordan Pacheco refused his minor league assignment and has been DFA'd.
June 22, 201610 yr Cozart 6, Hamilton 8, Phillips 4, Bruce 9, Duvall 7, Suarez 5, De Jesus Jr. 3, Barnhart 2, Peraza DH ... Straily 1
June 22, 201610 yr Votto could stay out of lineup again tonight, as he hits like 150 against Hamels? Could still be sick and a combination of that.
June 23, 201610 yr Bullpen blew it. Well technically the Reds never had the lead, but the bullpen gave up 2 runs. One stat they mentioned last night. Reds bullen pitchers have now given up 16 HR's to the first batter they've faced in a game. That's an unbelievalbe stat.

Would love to see that # + the # of walks to the 1st batter they've faced in a game. Both are ridiculously high and terrible.
