Another baffling move by Bryan Price.
Why isn't Cingrani, Bailey and Leake pitching this series? With as much trouble as the bullpen has had, why wouldn't they use Simon out of there instead of using him today? There's a reason you take advantage of days off early, allowing your 5th starter to be needed less.
Of course, unless they are hiding the fact that they truly don't believe Latos is coming back at all and they will need to establish Simon in the rotation all year. Also, Robert Stephenson is getting crushed in AA. Not a great sign considering he was one of the guys many hoped could step in the end of this year/early next year.
The good news is...the Cubs suck.

I think it may point to maybe Latos not coming back as soon as they hoped. Didnt he miss a rehab start recently? Simon, or is it pronoucned SiMOAN (as Votto said in an interview) hasnt thrown too bad thus far.Azubuike24;1606451 wrote:Another baffling move by Bryan Price.

It's Simon. Used to be the accent on the o, but he changed it

ALways thought that but heard Votto say it the other way. He may have just been joking aroundwildcats20;1606455 wrote:It's Simon. Used to be the accent on the o, but he changed it

Sean Marshall has traveled with the team after his rehab in Louisville. I'd expect him to be activated sometime this weekend...does Hoover get demoted?

Jesus, Hamilton got fooled so badly on his K. That was just nasty.
Phillips looked like he tweaked something during his AB, but still able to come up with a single.

Mes hits, Mes steals, Cozart fails, Reds won't score.
Simon better be perfect today.

Mark my words when it's a nail biter, 1-0 in the 9th haha. I'm jaded with the Reds hitting all the way back since like 2010. It's so hit or miss, but especially since about mid-August of last year.SportsAndLady;1606515 wrote:You are so negative lol

LOL. Saw this on Twitter from Billy's first AB. So bad. Glad he was able to redeem himself with that RBI double in the fifth.

As bad as it was.....we've seen Votto take those ridiculous swings and it's definitely not worse than BP swinging for his picture on the scoreboard 3-5x a game
