We've never faced Josh Banks as a starter before. Then again, Homer's never faced San Diego. So who knows?

Homer Bailey's FIRST win of the season!
"My wife ain't never ran and got me no pheasant." - Fistbands
The last time we faced Josh Banks
He went mano a mano with Aaron Harang in relief during that 18 inning atrocity. Well, Harang may no longer be here, but I have every confidence hat Homer will smite this Banks fellow. By the Hammer of Grabthar, Harang shall be avenged!
That's a good point.
In a way, if Banks wouldn’t have pitched so well in that relief appearance, Aaron’s arm wouldn’t be ruined for half of the season. Ergo, Josh Banks is responsible for Aaron on the DL. Get’m, David Dewitt!

By the way, I just got back. Who’d Bruce drive in an how’d that man get there?

weathers will bring at least one pick
affeldt could, too.
I’d like to see Arroyo in another uniform.
FIRE DUSTY BAKER
right
Arroyo is also in the “leave” camp. And Griffey, if any poor sap takes him.
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
Well
I think would could package like Weathers and Ross to FLA or Affeldt (since they had interest in the offseason) and Bako to the NYY.
I’d like to get Eulogio de la Cruz in a Reds uni or maybe just add some low minors high upside guys.
My worry is if we trade Arroyo then it leaves Volquez and Cueto prolly throwing too many pitches/innnings on the season. But we if get something we need like Max Ramirez, then pull the damn trigger.
knuckleball?

4 Mario Soto 242 1983 26 CIN
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
Bailey had a great quote about Jim Maloney
but of course I forgot it. Basically, Bailey had no idea who he was, saw him on the “this day in Reds history” on the scoreboard all the time, BBRef’ed him, and was like “shit”.
It may be a bad story, but at least its short.
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
Why isn't Mario Soto the Reds pitching coach?
One of the best pitchers in Reds history, was a Red for his entire career, originally from the DR so he speaks Spanish, one of the best change-ups in Reds history…. isn’t named Dick Pole… I think he’s distinguished enough.

He's pitching a lot smarter than he once did.
Of course, a few extra mph on your fastball also makes you smarter.
