2 bad outings and he might as well be. Being lower on the pecking order than Valentine is beyond deceased.
Nope. It's just Narron trying to pad the win-loss record with his "veterans" so he can come back to this mess next year.
We need an entire new pitching staff, less Claussen and Harang IMHO.

When the Pinch Runner bats after scoring a Run, you know you've got yourself a very bad bullpen.

or lower.
the problem is the people in charge don't see it that way. They have deluded themselves into thinking these guys can pitch.
The bullpen is simply fatigued. They weren't pitching this way a month ago, when your starters can't go enough innings, you wear down your bullpen. This isn't the first, nor the last time the Reds will be associated with these types of slumps intill they can get more innings from the starters, which may take years to fix.
I don't think there is enough transaction wire to cover everything we need to do with this staff.

the pen contains only mediocre to bad pitchers. There isn't a real keeper in the bunch. On good teams all these guys at their best would be fighting for the last 2 spots on the team.

This game is almost as long as Gone with the Wind and not even 1/100,000,000 as good.
If this game was a disease it would be fatal.
