When Mat Latos starts pitching like he can, the Reds are going to have one of the best 1-2 punches in the majors. That will be huge if they make the playoffs.
It was quite entertaining. For those that missed it Klondike: Moment of Glory | WSH@CIN: Votto belts three homers, including walk-off - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia
I have no idea what is wrong with him, there is no reason for him to be this bad. He has had enough flashes of very good this year for me to think he should be alright eventually though. The only thing I can take from this game thoug... at least a guy who was pitching well this year and has long given the Reds problems in Houston got shellacked, too.
Reds drafted HS RHP Nick Travieso in the first round tonight. Plus fastball that sits at 93-95 and has touched 98-99. Above average slider that sits in the mid 80's with room to improve. Average change. Supposedly has a nice repeatable delivery. Was projected to go 20th overall so it was a little bit of a reach. Buckley compared him to Matt Cain.
