I agree with this. The slamming of Cordero is kinda unjustified IMO. He brought stability to a VERY poor bullpen when he came to the Reds.

I've seen it so often this year. Latos was doing it early in the season.

Don't give in to the hitter. 2-0, big deal. Make him hit your pitch.

Coco grooved it and Stubbs belted it. Nice.
In his entire career, Jim Palmer never gave up a grand slam home run. He'd rather walk the single run in than give into a hitter and let him hit it out.

Three hits for the much maligned Xavier Paul.

Volquez's first ever shutout was last week against HOU? He never had one his first year as a Red?

He always ran his pitch count too high.

Xavier Paul has already become the most productive lefty-hitting bench player for the Reds this season.
