    Second on the bolded part. I think the guy simply loves closing -- coming to the ballpark every day knowing he might pitch, the buzz when he comes into the game, making eyes and gloves pop with his max-effort fastball, the high of that final punch-out.

    It's not necessarily too late to reverse course, but if he's not completely with the program, then the Reds have a tough call to make.
