    I just keep thinking it can't get any worse. Then it does.

    There's a half season in Louisville. Not much to go on, but there is data.

    And his approach wouldn't make a difference. Wild is wild, and Chapman is wild. Always has been. I think he'd be a rotation disaster. Edinson Volquez part 2. 5 innings, 100 pitches, hit the showers.

    Could be right. But Randy Johnson was the exact same way early in his career, he figured it out.
    Rounding third and heading for home...

    True, but I don't think Chapman has that same "drive" that RJ had. Kinda showed it when he was given the choice of rotation or pen, and he chose pen.

    I think he would have had the same issues that Tony Cingrani has......has trouble throwing strikes and pitch count racks up because of it.

    On that note.....how many walks have the guys in the bullpen issued. They hardly ever have a clean inning.

    I served my self imposed suspension from the game today ---- best move in a while it seems --- got to admit my caring about this year's team is slipping fast
    The older I get - the better I was

    and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)

    Re: Bryan Price Tries Something Different With Today's Lineup

    I wasn't expecting a 100-win team but I wasn't expecting bottom dweller offense & defense and losing streaks at double-digits.

    If the Reds lose on Tuesday, is Marty shaving his head again?
