Feel badly for Cozart...he was doing so well.

They might. But I think it'll be a DL stint for Cozy and Suarez brought up. And the extra arm isn't to help keep the pen rested. It's to have a safety net for the 3 rookie starters. I'd be surprised if they lessen the # in the pen while they still have those kids in the rotation.

This is the problem with the classic "long man." Too few appearances. Really there for eating innings when the starter gets knocked out early. Not much use.
I'd rather have the bench guy. Adcock and Matheus can fill in when the starting pitcher gets knocked out early.
They don't have a "long man" currently. Unless they're counting Villareal as one, which I doubt. I'm fairly sure that all the BP arms are short stint guys. 1-2 innings.
And I agree it would be nice to have that extra bat. But the long term health of those 3 arms is probably of much higher importance to the FO than an occasional pinch hitter.
Probably the Reds will go to 12 pitchers when they recall Mesoraco.
If Cozart is DL'd they will use Suarez because he can start games at SS.
They seem to like Boesch and Negron for their defensive versatility, so I doubt they are going anywhere.
Walk to Utley. 2 on for Franco
Walks will haunt.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
*whew* fly out to Boesch. 4-1 it stays.
