9-15-20 Reds vs Pirates

By issuing NO WALKS Lorenzen is moving toward becoming a pitcher for this club. I like that.

He’s been with the team for six seasons, is paid $3.7 million, and has one more season before free agency. So I hope he completes his movement toward being a pitcher for this club rather quickly.

Cederlind throws about 100 MPH.

That Brian Goodwin out was at 103.6 and is a hit 77% of the time.

Pretty much everyone on the #Reds bench stood next to the dugout stairs to congratulate Michael Lorenzen. Very impressive spot start, giving up 1 run in 5 innings, and a big boost for the rest of the bullpen.

Some guys get it later. Lorenzen was 1-4 last year with sub 3 ERA but he lost some games he should not have. He would walk guys or give up double or HR and come apart, and it looked early this season he was getting worse. I hope he really gels as club fights for playoffs.

Sims is another young arm the Reds make strike gold with for end of this year and next.

The rest of the game should be just anecdotes about Brad Lesley

1982-1984 were bad years for the Reds.

I had season tickets in 1982

I'd hate to be one of the Reds players shaking his hand and getting hit in the face after a save.

[zigbeenuthouse]

Couple more runs please.

Nice clean inning for Sims

Lorenzen has pitched 265 games for the Reds. Last season he pitched 73 games with a 2.92 ERA and was the best reliever on the ball club.

The narrative that he’s suddenly coming into his own based on tonight’s outing just isn’t the case.
