I see Kevin Gregg come out and it makes me want to get a bat. At 58 years old I'm sure I could hit him.......

Kramer, I blame you...........................

We're shitty again!

I'm starting to miss Dusty Baker.

Another fine performance from our bullpen.

 

[cincygrad]

Honest question -- Wouldn't we just be better off seeing if Chapman can get 6 outs? I realize that this would mean that he couldn't pitch as much, but we're not going to be winning every game either. Might as well try to get Ws when we can.

 

[DanBengalfan]

hopefully they can find at least one pitcher worthy of being a setup man.

train wreck...

 

[bengaldoug]

Please, please, dump Kevin Motherfucking Gregg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss fat boy Broxton.......

Price is a joke. Gregg is the worst pitcher in baseball, at any level.

Yes he is, and yes, he is too. The real problem, though, is there are no other viable options. They need to cut Gregg, Parra, and Badenhop and bring back Iglesias and Lorenzen. I know they want to groom both of those guys to be starters, but the bullpen is what is costing them on a daily basis. Pretty bad when the only dependable reliever outside of Chapman has been JJ Hoover.

I don't mind Badenhop so much. He does get a ton of ground balls, and had Price had the defense at double play depth like he should have, the other game wouldn't have ended the way it did. That made no sense.

Parra hasn't been good since 2013, and Gregg, well, I'm not going to pile on.

The road to the majors as a starter is quite full of guys who startd out in the 'pen at the MLB level before going back to the starting rotation. It can be done. Just because they fucked it up with Chapman doesn't mean it still can't work for Iglesias or Lorenzen.

He's not right. He's down 2-3 MPH on his fastball. I'm guessing he's not fully healthy, which is ironic considering all the smack he talked after he got traded.

But, he's a good dude, and I wish him well in Miami.

He's an asshole and I hope he dies in a fire.

I'm probably more in the 'I hope he sucks' camp, but this works.

Yeah, he's an asshole, but his statement that the team has no leadership is hard to argue.......

Is that a do rag inside his cowboy hat?

Now that's a leader..................

 

[Cincyfan78]

He is right about the leadership. There's none. Votto's statement proves as much. When you say you have a team full of leaders, everyone's a leader...then you have no followers. If you have no followers then how can you be a leader?

Outside of baseball, Matt is a cool dude. I got the chance to hang out with him and his wife one time. They are about as down to earth as you can get. It was a good time hanging out with them.
