Re: 4-21-10 Reds vs Dodgers

11 runs won't be enough to win this one.

I'm surprised he hasn't given up more yet with the way he continues to miss over the plate.

It also doesn't help that his breaking stuff continues to hang up high in the zone.

Gomes doesn't waste any time making an out. At least Stubbs would've seen 5 pitches before making his out.

Re: 4-21-10 Reds vs Dodgers

Harang is so frustrating to watch right now. He's no better than a fifth starter at this point. If Maloney pitches well in his next start, why not move Harang to set-up man, slide Masset to middle relief, and send Ondrusek to AAA? It wouldn't cost anything, as Harang is a sunk cost at this point anyway and he may find new life (in both his fastball and his career).

It's not like it could hurt.

(If he contues to struggle, I'd look at moving Bailey in the same manner in either late May or June, as Chapman gets more relaxed in professional baseball.) Now, though, Bailey gets more rope, as he's more likely to be a TOR starter, has better stuff, and a smaller contract.

Re: 4-21-10 Reds vs Dodgers

Is Harang even a 5th starter?

Harang is making what? 12 Mil? He's going to get AT LEAST 10 starts and he'll have to be awful before they even THINK of doing something.

I'm not sure I want to see Harang try to hold a lead late in the game with the way hes pitched the last 3 or so years.

Re: 4-21-10 Reds vs Dodgers

Only one there for LA. It's getting better.

Who's the announcer with Chris? Nice voice. But he said that the Dodgers scratched across that last run. "Smashed" would have been more appropriate.
