Well, this is sad. I thought after the Tampa Bay series the Reds might have turned the corner a bit. Wrong direction.

Win some, lose some, some get rained out.
The bullpen outside of LeCure allowing the inherited runners on to score did a good job.
We lost the cup!!! A travesty.

Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
At this pace, they're paying Bronson Arroyo for 2.5 wins above replacement and getting replacement level lol
So yeah... they could have used Sam LeCure to do the same thing Arroyo is doing and saved $12 million.
It's darned if they do, darned if they don't. I understood the logic behind the signing, but I've been wary all along they would not get the type of production from him going forward to justify the cost.
