Claussen looks to be going through some deadarm. He should be out of it by Augest.

Claussen looks to be going through some deadarm. He should be out of it by Augest.
Claussen has given up 17 homeruns, I think hes trying to ketch up with Milton & Ortiz.
:eek:
Thats the idea oregonred and I'm sure the FO has told him to make the most of this opportunity because when EE comes upQuote:

He is getting squeezed on the outside now, no wonder the Brewers are teeing off.
Claussen grounds out. 1 out.
The Reds are 14 games under .500 - would Freel at third until EdE was ready (which was a month ago) really have made them worse?? Not to mention the money going to pitching?Quote:

I bet it doesnt help him out when he throws a 1st pitch fastball about 99.9% of the time.Quote:

Of the five hits he has given up today, the solo home run in the 3rd, and the leadoff double in the first came on the first pitch. And if it is pitch selection, is that not Valentin's fault?Quote:

Claussen needs to learn to pitch off of his offspeed stuff against aggressive fastball hitting teams like the Cubs and Brewers.Quote:
