Starters carried this team in May and early part of July..... now it's the offense turn since the AS Break to carry the team...and they have.
However....this winning without Votto and Phillips is going to end soon and it might be hard to watch if the starters continue to be up and down like they have been.
Hanigan strikes out looking. Another pitch that was outside.
Heisey hitting for Arredondo

Kind of odd Dusty didn't let Jose hit for himself here and pitch another inning.
Only the fifth inning, nobody on, two out.
Simon is warming up
Heisey strikes out swinging. 4-2 Pirates after 5.
I'm just not seeing how such criticism of Homer is warranted. I can understand disappointment in this game and the last one, but basically declaring him a afterthought or mediocre option after 2 bad starts in a row in a good year is pretty silly.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Reds have two front of the rotation guys, Cueto and Latos.
Two middle of the rotation guys, Arroyo and Bailey,
One back of the rotation guy, Leake.
That's better than I expected when the season started.
