The Cincinnati Reds are concerned about closer Aroldis Chapman’s recent erratic control and loss of velocity, though they are saying the troublesome symptoms are due to fatigue and not injury, according to MarkSheldon of MLB.com: "Yeah, because his velocity was down," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "He didn't have any pain. He might be a little tired. We might have to rest him for a while here. He was analyzed by a doctor. The doctor said his shoulder is fatigued. We've got to take care of him." Sheldon notes that during last night’s contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Chapman’s velocity was down in the 97 mph range and even dropped to 93-94.  While this is still considered extremely hard, the Cuban native has become known for his ability to reach triple-digits. While Chapman did surrender three walks in his 2/3 of an inning against the Pirates, he was able to escape without allowing a run.  This was not the case in t...

Shoulder fatigue causes Chapman meltdown

Via Red Hot Mama  |  September 11, 2012
Last Game The Reds won the series opener against the Pirates last night, 3-4, in 14 innings. This was a more exciting one to watch, with the team tying it up in the seventh, but it was also frustrating that they couldn’t get one more guy across the plate until the 14th. The Reds’ inability to string together hits for runs is annoying, but it’s been a problem that’s haunted...

Aroldis Chapman and the Wonky Launchpad

Via Fangraphs  |  September 11, 2012
Aroldis Chapman is referred to as the Cuban Missile, because Chapman is from Cuba, and we used to associate Cuba with missiles, and missiles are fast, and Chapman throws really fast, and we are horrible. It would at least make a little more sense if we just referred to Chapman’s fastballs as Cuban missiles, but even there, fastballs don’t travel nearly as fast as missiles do...

Reds’ once and future schedule

In stark contrast to the moronic Yankees and Nationals, the Cincinnati Reds have perfectly handled their prized pitcher, Aroldis Chapman

Via Sports by Colin  |  September 12, 2012
After averaging a measly 94.4 mph on 23 pitches against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday, dominant Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman will be shelved for roughly a week to combat shoulder fatigue. The 6-foot-4, 200 pound Chapman (5-5, 1.60 ERA), … Continue reading →

Reds' Phillips accuses foe of racial comment

Phillips didn’t clarify who made the alleged comment or reveal the contents during the eight inning of the 14-inning game in Cincinnati. After the game, Phillips tweeted, “#RealTalk ...

Reds shrink magic number to eight after completing sweep of Pirates

Via Redlegs Review  |  September 13, 2012
It was a good old-fashioned pitcher’s duel in Cincinnati on Wednesday night as Homer Bailey (11-9) put together one of his better Great American Ballpark performances and put away Pittsburgh, 2-1. The win inches the Reds closer to October as their magic number continues to shrink. It now stands at just eight after St. Louis fell to San Diego, 3-2. For more details on the...

Reds beat Pirates in 14th thanks to Ludwick

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  September 11, 2012
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Ryan Ludwick's simple grounder ended the Reds' longest game of the season. No such reprieve for the Pittsburgh Pirates, whose misery goes on. Ludwick drove in the winning run with a two-out infield single in the 14th inning, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a marathon 4-3 victory Monday night that handed the fading Pirates their fourth straight loss. Rick...

And that’s why you don’t call Brandon Phillips “boy”

Via The Sports Jags  |  September 12, 2012
Brandon Phillips is a man…if the Pirates didn’t know that before, they definitely learned it in last night’s 5-3 loss to the Reds. Jared Hughes didn’t call Phillips “boy” and now that the two have squashed their beef, who cares…maybe Phillips shouldn’t have thrown the ball back to the mound after he got plunked. Either way, it looked like Phillips was using that...

Game 142: Pirates 3, Reds 4

“I stunk,” [Ludwick] said. “I stunk the entire game. I felt like I had a thousand chances to win the game. I finally did it on 1,001st. Every time I got up, there were runners in scoring position and less than two outs. I stunk. I’m glad I got the job done in the 14th.”That was a very, very long game. In a game that took 5 hours and 22 minutes to play, the Cincinnati Reds...

Looky looky another loss.  Clint Hurdle still in the driver’s seat though.  That really inspires confidence.  I wonder if Neal Huntington will ever comment about the absurd lineups, and awful losing streak?  Anything would be better than his awful cliches, and fruitless interviews to date.
