Reds bullpen has to be the worst pen I have seen in a long time.  They actually got a quality start from Mike Minor with 2 runs in 6 innings. The one came in the 7th and gave up a 3 run homer.

3 more runs given up in the 8th by the bullpen. Went from 2-1 to 8-1 real quick

Mercifully the bullpen is done tonight and gave up 1 more run in the top of the 9th. Unless the Reds can come back from a 9-1 the bullpen is done.

Bullpen last 4 games 

15.1 IP 23 runs, 7 of those was given up by a position player but still brutal

Where is Scott Sullivan when you need him?

Braves took out Morton with a 1 hit shutout after 7.  Just SMH with this stupidity of what baseball has come to be.

Thank you to the Braves manager for taking your starter after 7 shutout innings.  Reds scored 3 runs on 4 hits in the bottom of the 8th to take a 3-1 lead.

No surprise the Reds bullpen gave up the lead in the top of the 9th with Strickland giving up 2 solo homers to tie the game.

Hunter Green proves that a pitcher needs to be able to do more than throw 100mph to be a good pitcher. He has a 5.89 era and now has given up 21 home runs. So far tonight he has given up a 3 run homer in the second inning.

The Reds player development is atrocious.  If Greene had been drafted by a competent organization, he would be an all-star this year.

Reminds me of Joel Zumaya with the Tigers. Came in as a rookie reliever in 2006. The fans would regularly ooh and ahh as he'd hit 102 or 103 on the radar gun. He blew people away for a year or so before hitters started figuring out fastballs were all he could throw. After 4 years of trying to blow batters away, his elbow gave out in 2010. Three surgeries later, he retired.

You're right.  I went to Reds v. Brew Crew in Cincy game a few Fridays ago and Green was on the mound.  He had good stuff.  His fast ball was 97-99 MPH and off speed pitches 87-89 MPH.  He didn't give up much, but he gave up a 3 run HR after 2 straight singles and a solo home run. 

In fact all the runs scored in the game were on HRs.  Several situations late in game when in the "old days" a bunt would have been laid down and wasn't.  Votto pinch hit with runners on the corners and down 5-4 with 2 outs in bottom of 9th, but he could only produce a long fly ball to the center field warning track.

I liked the ball park.  We got good seats on the 3d  base line about 12 rows behind Brew Crew dugout.
