Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Boys are having fun in the dugout. Great chemistry on this team.
How long does it take for an arm to get "unstretched" anyway? Cingrani obviously has the stamina. He's not going to lose it now.
Jay launched that opposite field blast. Joey's was actually on a pretty nasty pitch for a GABP special.
Congratulations to Jay Bruce, who has tied "The Big Bopper" Lee May for 16th place on the Reds' all-time home run list!

No way Jay was going to let Joey close within one. Not on his watch...
It's not that...it's how often he's used. If they gradually move him into it, it's fine. But if he goes 3 days in a row, that arm isn't used to being used that way. I trust that they'll handle it right.
I just think that Tony's value comes in being a starter. And I'm afraid they may just end up turning him into a reliever if he has a bit of success.
