Did you guys see the breakdown on his use of pitches % wise???:

changeup 29%
sinker 26%
fastball 24%
slider 21%
 

are you kidding me, who is calling the pitches????  A 98-99 mph fastball is being used 24% of the time??  Threw a lot more fastballs vs Cubs Tuesday and blew them away!!!

So far as Castillo goes, with me it's - If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

He is our most consistent, effective pitcher.  

Another base running exhibition by Votto, gets caught loafing out of the box, outfielder drops the ball and he gets thrown by 10 feet trying for 2nd, run’em out!!

Another being the key word.  Stenzel did the same thing earlier in the series, failing to score when a teammate got caught in a run-down.  Two major letdowns on that play.  Stenzel fails to hustle and fails to score.  Runner gives himself up before Stenzel crosses the plate.

Thursday night's game was beyond embarrassing.  A total travesty.  I kept waiting for the theme from the "Bad News Bears" to break out.  These guys have mailed it in.  The Cubs and Reds (combined over 40 games under .500) deserve each other.   

Reds head back home after going .500 on the road trip.

What a bunch of clowns!!

3-1 lead top of the 9th, Strickland comes in and gives up 2 solo shots to tie it, with this BP might as well draw a name out of a hat to decide who to bring in!

Oh, you must want to get at it that they won in the bottom of the 9th, yes, the clowns finally broke a 10 game HOME losing streak!

In the bottom of the ninth, whatever the Reds have, the Braves caught it.

If Greene makes all his starts he definitely has a shot at breaking Arroyo’s club record of most home runs allowed in a season of 46

Yeah, Arroyo couldn't throw it much over 65 mph.
