I know Narron probably has no faith in his bullpen, and I can sympathize with that.

 

But Arroyo has went from being one of the better #2s in the NL to awful his last 4 outings. And when it looked like he was finally pulling out of his 3 game slump, he left him in for another 120+ outing.

 

I dont care how much of a rubber arm Arroyo has, and he claims he has one, this is ridiculous. Ruining the guy.

Oh I am so happy somebody posted this. You know what preceeded this 4 game slump? A 130 pitch night in San Diego. Arroyo pitches decent tonight, and has 102 pitches thru 6. WHADDAYA DO? Leave him out there. 2nd batter he face, GONE. 4-4. Then he gets an out, and gives up a baserunner. 120 pitches now and Pujols up. WHADDAYA DO? Leave him in there! BAM 2 run homer for Albert.

 

 

Jerry Narron is by far the worst manager in the majors, and needs to be fired NOW.

I like Arroyo, have since his Boston days...mostly since ARod tried to punk him in the ALDS. One of my favorite non-Fish.

 

But this is getting ridiculous.(I wont lie though, if he hadnt been on my fantasy team I probably wouldnt of noticed).

 

Krivsky made a bunch of hair brain maneuvers for bullpen help. Make more. I know offers for Dunn are being explored, but since his asking price is so high its no surprise a deal hasnt been reached. Something needs to be done. Arroyo pitches a ton of innings every year and this is happening, how long before Harang, Belisle, and Loshe start to feel the effects? Homer Bailey shouldnt have to worry about having to go 9 from the minute he steps on the field.

 

The Cincinnati rotation will be out of fuel by the end of July if this keeps up.

i was wondering why arroyo was sucking this year...looks like reds have a poorly run organization from top to bottom according to you guys. and it sounds like they are keeping arroyo in too long and this is very bad for him...and all that time, i thought he was too busy playing guitar.

 

i think he should break out the corn rolls again.

...or the book is being written on him in year 2 in the NL just like it did in the AL East.

 

The more teams saw of him (Yankees) the worse he got.

I have had nothing to do with Bronson's being left out too long, and I don't like your insinuations to the contrary, sir.

I honestly don't think that is it. He's fallen apart since the 130 pitch game in San Diego.
