    But Reds can't afford a team hitting funk right now.
    I'm referring to the team in general. It's only been a week, but they've gone L-W-L-W-L, and tonight could be another L. They're just playing average or below thus far.

    Bound to happen, sure, though it absolutely boggles the mind to happen against a team 14-55 on the road.

    Agreed. If not for two broken bat bloops, we aren't having this discussion.

    However, the drop in velocity that we've seen in his last few outings is at least a little bit worrying.
    This will not change until the Reds win the World Series.......

    Maybe they'll let Francisco Cordero pitch the 9th.

    Many games where Mesoraco caught till the 9th Dusty brought in Ryan Hanigan to catch Chapman. Didn't do it tonight. More trust for Navarro...might not be warranted.

    His arm is dead...his last fastballs were 93-94mph. I'm concerned. That's 8-9mph under what we have seen all year.

    Nice we catch a break as the ball hits the base at 3rd.

    I don't know if you are watching the game, but Navarro is a total non-factor here. It's Chapman.
