This pitching staff blows.

Our Middle Relief is an absolute joke. The fact that Weathers has not shown to be effective in filling that hole has really hurt the club. I'm just praying we can keep this game tied until we get to Wagner.
Don't agree at all. The Reds need power arms inside the bullpen, Valentine is a good development in that case. His location was off, but so was Harang's in the 4th. Doesn't mean he won't K the next batter.Originally Posted by SC Reds Fans
The consistancy of this pitching staff is disturbing...
I think the Reds' bats still have some talking to do in this one, though.

Bring Graves in an inning early let him pick up another W.
Wow the guy is getting picked on for going 6 innings and throwing 94 pitches. He gives QS and leaves with the lead. I think he could came out and pitched the 7th with lower end of the order coming up, but Miley is tring to over coach alittle here. Harang should be able to at least throw 100-110 pitches right now.
I really hope either Bubba Nelson or Jong Bong reach their potential, because losing Rietsma has left a GIANT gap in our bullpen.
Reds need their starters to get 7, to set up Wagner-Graves.Originally Posted by Redmachine2003
They simply have nobody who can get 3 outs in the 7th inning on a consistent basis.

Whew that could have been real bad.
Garner runs himself out of another Inning. Thanks again, Phil!

Houston runs themselves out of ANOTHER inning...
I'm sorry, that's just poor coaching. Plain and simple.

We need to send Phil Garner a Thank You card if we win this game.
