Romano was throwing 98-99 when he came up as a starter and Mahle was throwing 95. Mahle's hit 97 a few times this year so he's still getting stronger. I'm assuming they moved up Romano because he was lighting up the radar gun and Mahle was probably still in the "getting there" stage.
Cards, Cubs lost and the Pirates beat the Brewers in extra innings so no change in the standings except the Pirates moved up into 4th (2.5 back) while dropping the Cubs to last. Cardinals go to Washington tomorrow and the Brewers fly out to tough San Diego. Tuesday sees the Pirates at Detroit, the Cubs hosting the Mets and The Reds hoping to get revenge on the D-Backs with Castillo vs Gallen, Mahle vs Kelly and Hoffman vs Widener. They'll miss seeing Weaver who completely shut them down in Arizona.
Reds get a day off before 9 straight(3 each vs Arizona, @ St Louis and @ Los Angeles). They get a day off before 3 against the Cubs. Then a day off before 2 against the White Sox and then another day off . . . That's when they play 17 straight. Going to really test that bullpen in that stretch.
3 @ Cleveland
3 @ Pittsburgh
4 @ Colorado
4 vs San Francisco - back to back 4 game series
3 vs Milwaukee
Other schedule notes, June 20th they finish a 4 game set at San Diego and that's the last of their trips out West. Good to get those out of the way early. The longest trip the rest of the season after that is @ Miami at the end of August.
9 of the Reds last 18 games are against Pittsburgh. Take away the Reds sweep of them and they are 7-6 so they should not be taken lightly. Let's hope that they are out of it and are playing lots of September call ups.
