Wonder what DJ saw in Overton compared to Anderson?
Young started 15 games for Arizona back in 2019, and did really well (3.56 ERA and 1.19 WHIP).

Overton got hit hard tonight. But he provided 5 innings.
If he can provide 5 innings in each of the few starts he will get before Weaver is ready, I think the Reds will be satisfied, no matter how many runs he gives up. Probably best to schedule any nights out on the nights he pitches.

Oh yeah, your satisfied with:
5 innings 11 hits, 9 runs all earned.
I won’t pay to go see that.
Reds fan since 1968 win or lose.
Don't worry. Chase Anderson will start games in 2023 for the Cincinnati Reds

What kind of crap is this? " Oh, he's going to have an ERA of 16.00, but he pitches 5 innings a night so that's ok". I know that's where we are as a franchise which makes it all the more sadder. This kind of crap is pathetic.
Connor Overton pitches tonight.

last year Sanmartin got four starts too determine if he could duplicate his late Sept-Oct success at staarting. FOUR ! Hopefully, the audition today and with others to come don't give immediately give away the opportunity to win in the first three innings.
If Overton is giving them 5 innings or 100 pitches, he's not going to have an ERA even close to 16.00. Probabilities just mandate that. That includes the reality that he will rarely even flirt with a quality start.
Reds pitching has been this way since Tony Cingrani became the staff ace.

Connor Overton (1-0, 2.73 ERA in 2022) is set to make his first start of 2023 for the Reds. Overton made six appearances (four starts) for Cincinnati last season, holding opponents to a .188 average. The right-hander then missed 110 games while on the 60-day injured list with a stress reaction in his lower back.
Overton was roughed up in four spring training appearances, including three starts. He went 0-2 with a 15.43 ERA, allowing 23 runs (20 earned) on 26 hits -- including six home runs -- over 11 2/3 innings.
The Cubs counter with Drew Smyly (7-8, 3.47 ERA in 2022), who went 0-2 with a 6.06 ERA in five starts in spring training. Monday marks Smyly's first start in 2023 after making 22 starts for the Cubs a season ago. Smyly finished the season strong, allowing two or fewer runs in eight of his final nine starts, with a 2.28 ERA in those nine starts.
Smyly will make his ninth career appearance (eighth start) versus Cincinnati, sporting a perfect 5-0 mark to go with a 2.92 ERA and one save
We shall see how Luis Cessa does tonight.

Well Overton didn't give us 5 innings
And he was lucky to get a no decision.

Reds starting pitcher Connor Overton struggled throughout spring training, posting a 15.43 ERA. He allowed five runs in an intersquad scrimmage last week.
Then in the first inning against the Cubs, Overton hung a breaking ball over the middle of the plate and allowed a three-run homer to Cubs center fielder Cody Bellinger.
After that homer, Overton rebounded from the poor first inning and showed signs of what his ceiling as a pitcher can look like. While working the edges of the strike zone and showing an improved slider, Overton battled through the fourth inning.
He allowed consecutive hits to start the fifth, which marked the end of his game. Both runners scored as a part of a three-run fifth inning where the Cubs briefly took the lead.
I’ll state it again, because I’m a broken record, the Reds have a rotation problem.
