I will say this, the loss on Friday night, while gut-wrenching, was entertaining. I felt like I got my money's worth, and then some, being in attendance.
The problem with Arroyo is that too often this year he has not given anyone their money's worth in starts, especially at home. That has a rotting effect on the fans a franchise is trying to entice to the ballpark.
Arroyo walks Rasmus. Bases loaded for Pujols.
I've been one of the Arroyo believers that thinks he could still get it together, but I'm ready to concede. That said, Willy, EdE and the throw from Dickerson made most of that 4 run inning on the rest of the team.
The last hope for Arroyo is the long rest from the All Star game. Last season Arroyo looked a lot worse than he does now, was pushed back a couple a days and after the long rest become one of the top pitchers in the league the rest of the year. He's not going to bring much in trade right now, there really isn't anybody knocking the door down to take his spot and the timing fits with Volquez' schedule. Arroyo should pitch in NY and hope the park helps him out, get about 8 days off and then go again. If the long rest doesn't rejuvinate his stuff, then DL him and let Volquez take his spot. A trade isn't realistic right now.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Announcers bagging on Reds poor handling of injuries. Imagine that.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
I 've seen enough. Think I'll take a break. It's hard to watch this humiliation as Bronson walks the bases full and Dusty finally, I said finally, makes a move when all is lost.
Bronson is injured, no doubt. Time to DL him whether he likes it or not. As for the fielding...isn't it past time to be looking for a third baseman?

Dusty finally putting Arroyo out of all of our miseries, surprised he didn't bring a shotgun to the mound with him.
Roenicke being summoned to a bases loaded, none out, Pujols up situation. Still 8-0 Cards, top of the 6th.

Again bases are loaded for Pujols.
Don't think it matters though does it?
Taking Arroyo out to prevent any more damage to his escalating ERA

Sutton double switched into the game, playing SS.
Good luck, kid Roenicke. Pujols is 6 for 7 this year, with four slams in such situations.
Roenicke, as heaven is my witness, entices a 1-2-3 double play out of Pujols.
Well done, kid.
6-8.
Nice job.
