Reds Fans: Volquez to make season debut Saturday against Colorado

  • The Enforcer
    This is a nice surprise to along with Sabo bobblehead night.
  • TigerNation10
    Yes! I will be in attendance. Should be a great night!
  • The Enforcer
    I will be there as well.

    Makes it even better knowing Volquez will pitch.
  • Nate
    Outstanding!
  • justincredible
    I will also be there. Neat!
  • SportsAndLady
    Fuck yeah

    He's been pitching brilliantly for Triple A

    Hopefully Walt keeps Chapman in the majors until we absolutely need him...his control is too bad in AAA for the majors, imo.

    Ironman please don't hate me now :D
  • jordo212000
    Chapman should be up sooner rather than later. Control issues aside, he is still better than a couple of the guys in the pen
  • Nate
    Who is being sent down for him?
  • osu45804
    Sweet just added Volquez to my fantasy roster on Monday after hearing he'd probably be brought up soon.... Good news for the Reds too, It's been a long time since we've had this many good arms in the system. I'm guessing they sent down Travis Wood?
  • Nate
    Wood or Maloney? I think they should keep Wood up.
  • SportsAndLady
    How can you send someone down after nearly throwing a perfect game? haha

    I think it's Maloney. No brainer IMO

    What happens to Bailey? Are the Reds still saying his shoulder is injured?
  • osu45804
    I forgot all about Maloney lol.... When is Harang scheduled to be back as well though?
  • TigerNation10
    If there is any market at all for him, I hope the Reds can somehow trade Harang.

    Arroyo
    Volquez
    Cueto
    Wood
    Leake
    Bailey

    Harang is no longer needed, IMO.
  • Azubuike24
    I'll be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Can't wait for this game.

    Wonder if they could get a bullpen arm out of him?
  • dave
    I'll be there the next 2 nights, stadium should be rockin.
  • Azubuike24
    Saturday is a sell out I believe. With Sabo's bobblehead, it was already expected to be 35,000+, but I;d say it will be packed now with expected great weather, Volquez going and the Reds' position. Can't wait!
  • dave
    Nah there are plenty of tix for Saturday still available. I bet it sells out too though, probably around 6pm Sat.

    No idea what he might be able to bring to the table....

    Experience. Low risk, possibly high reward.
  • killdeer
    how often have the Reds EVER had this kind of pitching depth....


    absolutley unheard of...the excitement of bringing out a bonafide #2 pitcher to debut on July 17th...if he can find himself back where he left off...the Reds will find themselves in good shape on Sept. 30.
  • dave
    Springer was a very good reliever in the national league for several years, last year he really struggled in the AL. The problem is he gives up a lot of homers and fly balls, so I don't expect much from him.
