What about Arredondo?

Would love for Ondrusek to take that role, but he has it coming down his legs in pressure situations.

I don't ever want to see Ondrusek in a one run game ever again. ERA seems so misleading with him

Honestly, those are my two least favorite guys in the 'pen. Arrendondo always seems to be walking guys and getting into trouble. I don't think Ondrusek has the closer mentality or the stuff.

Yeah I mean, I think the closer is probably "Mr. Outside Hire"

I don't think Hoover has the stuff either. Massett has the stuff but is a complete headcase

At least leake, our number 5, went against a number 1. Problem is, when throwing well, the phillies have 3 number 1's.

Worley is really good too. The Reds could lose 3 of 4 while Houston and San Diego get fed to the Wolves. The race may be much closer come Friday.

Oh I think that's a given. The phillies own us.

It's not a problem this year though. The phillies blow. Leake lost the game for the Reds yesterday. How do you blow 2 2 run leads in 5 innings?

Bailey and Arroyo have to show up in the next 2 days. Yes, Cueto throws Thursday, but he could throw great and Hamels could simply beat him.

In a way, the fact his ERA is 3.50 or so now is horrible, considering that him and Chapman both were untouchable for about the first 1.5 months of the season. Take away his long scoreless streak to start the year and he has to be around 4.5-5 since then.
