Finding Joy in Reds Relievers

I vividly remember the joy of watching the Reds pitching staff during the 2010-2013 run as youngsters blossomed, and Bronson Arroyo arroyoed the competition. One night, Johnny Cueto would embarrass hitters with his ridiculous changeup and quick pitches. He even added that silly, little wiggle to his windup at some point. That was awesome.

The next night, Homer Bailey dominated with pinpoint command. His stuff was so good that when he hit a groove, no one could hit him. And none did…twice.

Mike Leake sometimes looked Maddux-lite with pitches that darted in and out of the zone.
