CINCINNATI -- Even before his warmup that preceded his Wednesday start vs. the Royals at Great American Ball Park, things felt a little off to pitcher Cody Reed. Pitching coach Danny Darwin seemed to take note as well.
"I got up on the mound to warm up in the bullpen and [Darwin] said, 'Did you get a little late start?'" Reed said after the Reds' 6-1 loss. "I looked at the clock and I was like five minutes [late] to what I normally am, and I was like, 'I guess I did,' trying to get everything going.
