Starting with the worst Central team first, the Reds continued to display their suckiness to the world. This time, it wasn’t even Arroyo. No former Cy Young vote-getter Aaron Harang sucked again, and he has to be getting frustrated.
Things started well for him, with him driving in the first run of the game, but he couldn’t hold it. Harang hasn’t received run support all year, and despite his struggles, I bet it’s nothing that a 10-run barrage wouldn’t cure. His confidence is likely down, and he’s probably placing a lot more pressure on himself because he knows the team won’t score squat for him. It’s not good to be pitching all tense like that.
Tonight, Edinson Volquez starts against Mark Hendrickson in the final game of the series at 7:10pm EDT.
