Love Lorenzen, hopefully he found a new home in the rotation.

So, 0.5 game back after tonight, assuming Brewers hold onto their 10 run lead? Don't tease us like this, Reds.

Tonight was an object lesson in "Hey, maybe Reds' decision makers know more than us fans, afterall." Based on my eyeballs, I would have much rather seen Antone or Sims get an emergency start, and my jaw dropped when Bell said "This isn't a bullpen game, this is a full blown start for Lorenzen." [Certain "performance artists" with strong opinions about a particular outfielder might do well to at least consider learning from this object lesson. Ahem.]
Nothing in the public record indicated that Lorenzen was the best choice to deliver 3 innings, much less that he could last 5 in good shape. But hey, there's all the evidence you need. Good call by the Reds, even better performance by Lorenzen, and I guess I'll go ahead and take a sip of the Kool-Aid and put him in the discussion for a rotation spot.

Garrett may not be ready to move beyond 7-8 inning and pitcher to use vs lefties. He sometimes has control problems and then elevates pitches in the zone.

Ha, I get where you were going now. I should have picked up on it.Originally Posted by Kc61

I probably would not vote for more Lorenzen starts. Great work today, but I thought the Pirates generally had good swings on him and just didn’t do much. Polanco was a saviour tonight. A better team might have hit him around tonight.

Agree, but they may need to use Lorenzen for one more start. Wish Gray could get activated soon.
Similarly, I’d try to avoid many more Garrett save attempts. Two closers should be enough going forward.

He must be barnstorming then, because he only pitched one game for the Reds.

What's up with all these insanely high scoring games lately?
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
Four pitchers used by the Cardinals today. Seven pitchers used by the Cardinals in yesterday's double-header (17 total innings). Cards play a double-header tomorrow.
