Guys like Finnegan have to get that K:BB ratio moving in the right direction or this season could get REALLY ugly.
    Statistically, the Reds have the worst pitching in the NL and it's not close. Reds fWAR pitching is -2.3. The Brewers are next worst, -0.2.

    Finnegan is a kid pitching every fifth day in the bigs, I'm not expecting miracles. This is really development for him.

    The only way the Reds pitching is going to improve meaningfully is to replace about 7-8 of the 12 pitchers on their staff. Which will happen in time.

    Nice rope from Geno for a single.

    The Reds' pitching is going to stink for a few more months, but things are going to turn around as long as we have some patience.

    Nice hit for Suarez, well struck, hope he gets it going.

    Yeah, George is going to have to be more careful.

    Just need George to say something racist now and we can be done with him for good.

    I'm definitely in the camp that thinks Finnegan should be starting this year. My post was more a reaction to those who think that had the front office invested in the bullpen that this team would be .500 or better.

    Suarez snapped an 0-14 skid with that hit.

    Votto is struggling against Hellickson's weak stuff.

    Joey just has no clue against Hellickson for whatever reason.

    Votto is too concerned about fancy coffees and designer clothes, IMO.

    oh my god... Suarez looked slower than a sumo wrestler trying to steal there. Bad pitch and he was still gunned down easily.
