6/18/12: Reds @ Indians--Lowe vs. Latos Round II

[The Operator]

Get him OUT of there.

[WVRedsFan]

I fear the Tribe will score a couple in the bottom frame.

Hate that I predicted this a couple ago. Time to get him out of there.

[redsfaninbsg]

Bullpen.

[kbrake]

Can't get anyone warmed up quick enough.

[Kc61]

Double by Choo, the "Indians extra base machine" excites the announcers. Big time.

I would think perhaps the Reds might consider a different pitcher about now. Guess not........

[BuckeyeRedleg]

I'll still make that trade again given the chance.

Yonder is OPSing .684 and Volquez is still very much Volquez, on pace for 114 walks even pitching in Petco.

Still early but I think Latos will get it figured out. He sure has been frustrating at times though so far. That's for sure.

Seeing what I've seen of him through 14 starts, I wouldn't have given up as much or I just wouldn't have made the trade at all. Again, hindsight and all.

[reds44]

5.11 ERA for Latos.

So, its not the GABP effect?

I still think Latos makes it work in the longrun. Sure is tough to stomach watching him at the moment though.

[WVRedsFan]

Gotta blame some of this on the plate umpire, but not all of it.

[The Operator]

Can't buy a strike on the corners.

[redsfaninbsg]

5.11 ERA for Latos.

No doubt, nearly half a season in it has been ugly.

[cincrazy]

Latos is better than this. But I haven't seen anything to indicate he's worth what we gave up.

[WVRedsFan]

Let's hope Lowe continues to suck and we get a couple. Their bullpen might shut us down.

[cincrazy]

I don't think you can blame the ump for this. Good pitchers deal with shaky umps on a regular basis. Latos completely disintegrates. Early in the game, it seems after every hit he gave up he was shaking his head, or kicking the dirt. He has a very hard time keeping himself composed.
