This is really par for the course for the Cincinnati Reds. They say they’ve come up with an idea to help combat their small market status. Then when it is time to use that idea, they chicken out again and again.
All offseason long the Reds said that they would use all four pitchers from the list of Tony Cingrani, Michael Lorenzen, Raisel Iglesias, and Drew Storen to close out games. A week into the season and that has proven to be a fallacy. Storen and Iglesias have gotten chances, but same is not true for Cingrani and Lorenzen.
