Brewers @ Reds (4/13-4/16)

[HammerTime]

How is he doing that ? Reed and Stephenson are already on roster.

A guy like Romano.

A guy like Romano.

 

They can release Arroyo and still keep Sal at AAA

[LRCW]

Good to see Reds are conceding this game.

Bronson batting for himself in the 5th, down 5 to 1.

[LRCW]

Sounds like Romano will be getting the call to start Sunday's game.

I thought it was Saturday? No wonder I didn't think it would be him. :lol2:

[HammerTime]

I would think you could give Cody Reed a go at it. Maybe he's not stretched out enough?

[ColonelCrazy]

I say the over under on Arroyo is 5 starts.

 

I'd take the under. I think he has one more guaranteed start but that's it.

I think Stephenson gets the next shot in the rotation, and Cody Reed after him. I wish it were Reed then Stephenson, but feel like the Reds will push Stephenson into it first.

I'm with LRCW. I absolutely love Bronson. I have been amazed at his ability to get hitters out with nothing but a whiffle ball and some guile. The guy is very cerebral and a stand-up guy. I just don't know that he can pitch effectively anymore and I just don't like giving away a game every few days. I would like to see them keep Bronson in the organization. I think he would be a hellava pitching coach. The guys could learn a lot about how to get batters out from Arroyo. But it may be time for him to retire his whiffle ball. I hope I'm wrong and he throws a shutout the next time around. I'd say when he feels like he can't be effective anymore he won't hesitate to hang it up. He seems to be a team-first kinda guy. I've just never been a fan of conceding games. You play to win the game!

Arroyo and Alcantara does not belong on this team. Adelman should be starting in Bronson's place and save Sal.

[HammerTime]

He's out.

[HammerTime]

Reds lose, even I can't overcome Arroyo.

[Science Friction]

I've always felt that the first game of the series was so important. Really can set the stage for a really, really good series or just the opposite. Dammit, I hope this doesn't lead to three out of four or four out of four L's to the lowly Brewers.

After another struggle, Bronson Arroyo impatient for results

 

 

But two starts into his comeback attempt – the last a six-inning, five-run outing in a 5-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday – he doesn’t feel good enough to be a major-league pitcher.

 

He’s not willing to put up with it much longer.

“The next two times out, if I don’t see something a little bit crisper and able to keep us in the ballgame a little bit better, maybe you’re at a dead end street,” Arroyo said. “I’m not sure.”
