Where do we stand on Lehr?
Yeah, I gotta bring it up after the shutout...
How do you see Lehr playing out... Do the Reds have anything to work with here... Is he a once around the league type of guy... Mind as well have a discussion about it. |

Lehr for pitching coach.

Re: Where do we stand on Lehr?
He's a better looking version of Tom Shearn.
I have to say, I really enjoyed this performance. Lehr did his best not to get himself in trouble, and kept pounding the strikezone. Some nights, that means nothing more than being pounded for 2+ innings, but tonight it led to a 4 hitter. One of the highlights of the season for me, and a great story that Lehr can tell his grandkids. |

Re: Where do we stand on Lehr?
Shouldn't we give him the Michalak grace period before we figure out where we stand?

It was fun to watch.
Ride that horse until he gives out. |

Re: Where do we stand on Lehr?
Happy for him?
I mean, he's not a long term option. He's not even a three year plan option. He's just a guy that's worked his butt off his whole career and because of certain circumstances is getting his reward for all he's put into the game. Tremendous moment for him tonight. Whatever "it" is, that's what's it's all about.

Re: Where do we stand on Lehr?
We might get to see more starts. Nothing to decide right now.
Personally, I've been a Lehr fan for a while. And BTW, he pitches well out of the pen too. |

Re: Where do we stand on Lehr?
22 first pitch strikes!! how many of the core pitchers have done that?? I hope he continues to do well, maybe gets the #5 spot for good
Who knows, but at least be happy for him before tossing him away. |

Re: Where do we stand on Lehr?
That was nice, don't get me wrong.
But two starts: 13 IP, 4 K and 7 BB. We know where this story is going right? |

Re: Where do we stand on Lehr?
Owings wants to skip a rehab start and take the ball next Tuesday in St. Louis. Marty thought that hinged on Lehr's outing tonight. Should be an interesting spin of the rotation this weekend for Bailey, Homer and Cueto, Johnny.
Personally I would send Owings to the bullpen for the time being. No sense in pushing his balky shoulder.
