Now I don't know what you do with him, but I'm taking Arroyo, Cueto, Leake, Bailey, and Wood over him and I want to see what Dontrelle Willis has in him. Yeah I know, he was 17-6 with a low 3 ERA a couple years ago, but he's clearly not the same pitcher and hasn't been all season.
Like Tommy John pitchers are prone to be - having command problems, EV with his key pitch, the fastball, is having those problems. They sent him to the minors to work on regaining his command. The problem was he didn't regain it, but they brought him back anyway. He needs to go to the minors for a long time. He has no big contract by his own choice. Let him earn his way back!

3. Homer
3a. Arroyo
3b. Volquez
1. Cueto
1a. Leake
3. Homer
3a. Arroyo
3b. Volquez

Aaron Boone saying he and Rick Sutcliffe are going to at it before the season is over.....
If he wants his ass kicked then he should go for it!

Stubbs with his 3rd whiff in 3 at bats....118 on the year. Fred Lewis was 2/3 off of Garcia and has been a solid hitter. Bruce is solid in CF.

Absolutely. Except I don't want to see it in an 8-1 game.

I want the Reds to make the playoffs, but I am genuinely happy for the Pirates.
