6/13 - Red Sox vs Reds

[missionhockey21]

As much as I would like to see Milton gone, too bad that won't be the case. Anyway, talk about a painful loss considering the matchup. Grande kept mentioning how Clement made a touch decision choosing Boston over Cincy. If only we offered Clement another 5 mil over his contract or whatever it took. We all wanted him, too bad he didn't want us.

Hey Mission how about posting a poll saying How much longer will we be force to watch Milton in the rotation

[volzok]

I would say at least another year and a half

[missionhockey21]

I agree. They wont release him untill he is in his final contract year.

I don't know how they can leave someone with a 7.97 ERA in the rotation for that long. I think he will eventually be released, although it might not be until O'Brien is fired.

[Slyder]

I didnt mean til he was released, just til he is moved out of the rotation by any means neccesary.

I would say that they will never move him to the pen. They would cut him b4 that I think. You are paying him 8 mill per to be MR. They will let him figure it out or not. I cant see them moving him.

[CincyRedsFan30]

I can't see him being moved(to the pen) either.

DanO's comments after the last game made me think they might take him out of the rotation, but apparently they are justifying his pitching tonight by saying it was the defenses fault.

Well Freel should have caught that ball, though it was a rocket, so take two off the board. Manny's double should have been caught by Wily Mo, and that would have taken two more off the board. and then the HR that should have been caught, but there was a double and a single right after that so they probably would have scored three anyway.

So maybe it could have been 6-3, which is a lot more respectable, but it's still a run an inning for milton.

He looked a little better to me, but he should still be taken out of the rotation, with better starters sitting on the bench.
