    Lost in all the trade deadline madness this week, the Reds acquired Austin Romine

    A couple days ago after the Cards DFA’d him. I was super confused when I looked at the roster listing and saw his name.

    but then they optioned Kolos and kept Papierski, when it should have been the other way around. Papierski is useless.

    There’s only one roster spot for Slavic catchers unfortunately

    This should help with the young pitchers. They need a veteran behind the plate when they pitch.

    Yeah, but he's useless from both sides of the plate.

    Pappy must have some compromising pictures of important people in the Reds org. No other explanation as to why he's on this roster.

    I know Kolo isn't making people forget Johnny Bench, but he's far superior to Pappy.

    Guy might be my new hero:

    Averaging 40 games a year.

    Got his pension.

    Edit: just checked and he has 8 years of service time, so no pension yet. Bummer.

    Romine will be, if my count is correct, the 6th catcher the Reds have used in the bigs this year. Having such inconsistency behind the plate must surely have added to inconsistency by the pitchers.

    I keep thinking of the movie Bull Durham, but one in which the team has been renamed the Cincinnati Kids. Nuke Lodolo anyone?

    But if it helps, 5 of them are equally bad.

    Yep, but at this point two guys who can catch the ball would be nice. Not sure when Garcia comes back but a Romine / Garcia tandem will be better than the last few weeks
