Walking leadoff man Matt Carpenter four times seems...not brilliant.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Rookie with a little trouble, but gets the K to end a scoreless fifth inning.
Had nice control there, especially on the last hitter.
Hit for Votto to lad off the sixth, maybe Reds can do some more damage here.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.

It's a good thing we have 13 more pitchers available in the bullpen.

Chacin has struggled in every new level then settled in. I would like to see more. I mean worse pitchers have received more chances than 5 games. C
Can we agree they're going to get rid of him in 2.5 weeks? They won't put him on the 40 man roster. So that begs the question, why are they running him out there now?

I think the Reds will find 40 players more worthy of protecting than him
No, we can't agree on that. Is it possible? Sure. It might even be likely, but I don't KNOW that it's going to happen.
And they are running him out there now for lots of reasons. One reason could be to get more information on him to decide if they should keep him or DFA him. There's literally no better time than right now to get the kind of information you want to have to make that decision - when the games don't actually matter.
If they need to see that then yeah, that's the reason for running him out there. I've seen absolutely nothing to show me that he has big league stuff. This is his 5th outing and he's given up runs in 4 of them. That's about as bad as it gets when you consider they're all pretty much 1 inning outings.
