[Warner2BruceTD]

Reds traded INF Jose Castro to the White Sox today for ???.

No, I don't know who Castro is either.

Gotta get that last game of the series!



Bring back Volquez

[KnightNoles]

Manager Dusty Baker said Tuesday that Phillips would miss three or four days because of a sore left hamstring, the Cincinnati Enquirer’s John Fay reports.

“I think looking at five years we’ve got a pretty good idea of who’s going to be here. Our catcher, our shortstop, our right fielder, our center fielder, our Opening Day starter, our second pitcher, our future ace in Aroldis Chapman, some of our bullpen, myself at first base. Chris Heisey could be our left fielder. I’m not sure about third and second base. But two positions? I’m worried about two positions over five years? That was a huge factor in the equation. If I was worried about losing situation, a team with no future, I would have said no.”

Cross 2B off that list.

Anyway, there you go. I think this offseason convinced Votto to stay, where as last time, he wasn't going to commit beyond his arbi years. The window is a lot wider now, so a lot of that WIN THIS YEAR OR ELSE pressure is gone.

Chicken Alfredo Simon better never pitch another game for this team. He is SO bad.

[Rudi]

Good read on todays game from Hal McCoy

Simon was basically the only guy left with Chapman and Ondrusek "unavailable"

[Warner2BruceTD]

Could have used Bray, but its a minor gripe. He kinda had to use Simon.

The geeks saying Marshall should have been in are geeks. Not on the road.

[Rudi]

Oh i agree Marshall had to be saved if we got a lead. The main problem here is Simon shouldn't be on the team.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Simon must go. Call up literally anybody with options who can be sent back down when Masset is ready. ANYBODY.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Brackman, Hoover, Lotzkar and Villarreal are the four pitchers on the 40-man, with options, in the minors & healthy.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Reds could really use Jared Burton right about now.

[Rudi]

I never realized how many former Reds play for the Padres...volquez, alonso, MICAH OWINGS, CHRIS DENORFIA

[Rudi]

Chicken Alfredo Simon gained a little respect from me tonight. Still, this offense is trash so far.

[Rudi]

Man this team is really hard to watch right now. The offense is so bad, swinging at early pitches not getting any hits or anything.
