1. Wade Miley - He's 0-3 with a 9.72 ERA He's given up 13 hits and 10 runs in 8 innings. They can't keep running this guy out there to get rocked.
2. Luis Castillo - He's 0-3 with a 4.44 ERA. His fall started around All Star break last year and he's really never recovered. In 26 innings he's given up 30 hits, teams are batting .278 against him. If he can't turn this around it's gonna hurt !
3. Michael Lorenzen - He's pitched 10 innings in 9 games and has an 8.71 ERA to show for it. He's giving up a hit per inning. He's just way, way to inconsistent but Bell seems determined to keep plugging him in.
4. Raisel Iglesias - He has been hit with 2 loses in these 25 games. IIRC he had 12 loses last year which tied a closer record ! 6.75 ERA which is just crazy for someone considered a closer.
Even if the Reds somehow back into the playoffs they have little chance unless these guys have a major turnaround or Bell quits sending them out there.
That’s all pitching. They aren’t hitting right now either.
