Not so sure of this. He can throw 4 pitches in the strikezone.

Not so much throwing in the strikezone in the majors (6.6 BB/9) and when he does they are often hit (11.0 H/9).

Best case scenario is Pedro Villarreal style long-man. We have one of those. I'd cut Smith loose, at least off the 40 Man.

The Reds must have the worst pitchers against batting average in the whole of the Major leagues this season.

On the rare instances Reds pitchers do get the bunt down, the opposition throws out the lead runner.

Pena is slow.

I particularly enjoyed the one from the first series of the season where he said Neal Walker met Roberto Clemente when he was a kid.

Had no idea Walker was that old!

"The Reds were the team of the decade [70s] and if it wasn't for the Reds, the Pirates would have been."

The Reds in the 70's: 6 playoff appearances, 2 World Series Championships
The Pirates in the 70's: 6 playoff appearance, 2 World Series Championships

Nice try, George. Maybe you should do some research.

He's got a young body.

Oh good lord, Cardinals v Rams televised here in the UK, and who should pop up on commentary...

George Grande wants to get paid.
