Really like John Lamb. We fleeced the hell out of the Royals in the Cueto trade (with Cody Reed being the gem of the return).
I also like Finnegan even though his numbers have been bad this year.
Not quite fleece. Cueto was worth at the time what the Royals gave up. But I love, love, love the pitchers the Reds got back in return. Glad Crosby had hemorrhoids or something.

Complete games under 90 pitches are called a Maddux
I think he had a 78 pitch one. Buehrle had one less I believe.

Lamb's first Reds game -- 99 pitches in 6 innings.

Lamb's third Reds game -- 108 pitches in 5 innings.
Lamb's fourth Reds game -- 87 pitches in 6 innings.
Lamb's fifth Reds game -- 96 pitches in 5.2 innings.
Lamb's sixth Reds game (tonight) -- 69 pitches in 3 innings.

So clearly, the answer is to get MLB to shorten games to 6 innings. Problem solved.

Damn, I thought Frazier had one.
And George Grande thought the inning was over after two outs.
