Basically Iron is poking fun at the Reds for not bringing him up to the bigs at all this season.

Did the same thing this year when Ubaldo Jimenez through his no no :)

I figured there must be some shenanigans going on but then recalled that I92 is rarely funny, if at all :)

Question? If they wait until the September callups to bring him up.....Is he eligible for the post-season roster?

Yes.

I'm heading down on Tuesday. I'm hoping he's here by then.

Yeah. Something about replacing a pitcher currently on the DL.

hopefully he throws that hard when he gets up.

That's a nice, nice weapon to have coming out of the bullpen

maybe Art will be headed to the DL with that heel injury and then Chapman will get the call up

Rhodes needs some time off....not sure the DL will help the plantar problems. Arthur is old and has been a trooper all year....Masset has taken his place and Coco is pitching well now.
