I hope you're right, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
I just wish we could platoon KGJ with a RHB OF, b/c KGJ can still rake against RHP in my book.
Part of me wonders if KGJ is out to audition for his next team, b/c he's dropped hints that this is his last season as a Red.
Bruce grounds to short... 1 down
If this cat shuts the reds out I may not watch another reds game this season...
1-2-3 inning for the Cards... 4-0 after 3
He must be literally doing no work between starts to lose 7 MPH on his fastball on the age of 22, if that is indeed the case.
If he has any trade value at all left, I'd try to deal him. It's not like he has electric stuff and can't locate it, i.e. Volquez, he just has no stuff.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
When you can't locate an 88 mph straight fastball to the #9 batter, you've got problems.
