Hit-n-Run
Go Reds!!!
The Reds have DFA Roger Bernandina and purchased the contract of Carlos Contreras from Pensacola. That puts the beleaguered bullpen at 8 pitchers. The Reds had been carrying 6 OF's for quite awhile, so it seemed like an inevitable move.
The first attempt to upgrade the pen from within got off to a less than stellar start with Jumbo giving up two taters in his MLB debut. Jumbo isn't the first and won' t be the last to struggle in their debut, so I'd like to see him a few times before I decide on his value to the organization.
He touched 99 mph on the gun and had movement on most offerings. I'd like to see him pitch without the emotion of fulfilling a lifelong dream by taking a MLB mound for the first time. The moment has been overwhelming for more than a few.
