There are few stories coming out of the Reds organization more intriguing than what they plan to do to exorcise Eric Milton's PR demon.

ARGH I missed 3 innings because I had no idea it was on.
Crap.
Milton's "heater" is working about 85-89 right now.

Didn't you hear? Five days ago after one good four inning stretch it was widely decided Milton had turned the corner and was now going to be a better pitcher than he's ever been before ... approaching age 31 ... with an unfixable degenerative knee condition.Originally Posted by Falls City Beer

...but it's dry heat.
I think Milton's stuff looks ok. He's still got pretty good zip on the fastball and for the most part he's been able to spot it pretty well...not as good as Wednesday, but still not horrible. He threw a couple of nice looking curve balls as well.
The results to this point aren't what they were Wednesday as he's had to work out of trouble a couple times. The encouraging thing about that is it looks like he's stayed right in there and had confidence in his stuff. It looks to me like for the most part his command is pretty good.
The line won't look as good as his last start, but I think there are some positives to be taken out of this so far.

It doesn't look like the gun is working right tonight. It didn't even show up til the 3rd inning. Looks like he's throwing much faster than that.
Chris just said the stadium gun has him at 93MPH.

Well Milton just blew that one right by him.
HE GONE!
Band name.

Wasn't the last Reds player to ride in the owner's plane Griffey, and Lindner?
And I'm looking at the radar readings on FSO after every pitch and he didn't touch 90 once in the 4th. Maybe he tickled 93 in the first, but that would just make this the second straight start where he bled velocity after just one inning.
