Other than the long ball allowed to Andruw Jones He has looked pretty sharp, why all the haters?

When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
I don't thiink anyone thought he'd pitch this well! The guy is lights out beside the home run..
"I think everybody here is definitely excited about (Eddie) Guardado. It wasn't a save situation, but when you've lost a couple like we have, it felt like a save situation." -- Reds manager Jerry Narron on using his newly acquired closer Eddie Guardado.
He did have a large strike zone to work with today, however. But Smoltz had that same strike zone, and has let up 4 runs over 6 so far...

I was extremely impressed by his performance today. It was way above my expectations. This also has further strengthened my confidence in Wanye's scouting abilities. The change of scenery should do Lohse a lot of good. He's going to have to build his stamina back up since he's been in the pen for so long in Minny, but for a back of the rotation guy to come out and give a solid 5-6 innings an outing is A-Okay with me.
But it's also good to keep in the perspective that it's only one start. Although it's highly encouraging that it was against a team that has been struggling but still putting up a lot of runs.

Go Gators!
The AL has better players right now and coming to a new league he should have a nice grace period. He could be servicable for the rest of the season.Originally Posted by KronoRed
