Raisel Iglesias: Reds Using Me \'Horribly Wrong\' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue May 7, 2019 12:20 pm

Raisel Iglesias has a 4.86 ERA for the Cincinnati Reds in 16 2/3 innings this season.

His last three outings have resulted in two losses and a blown save. Twice in those appearances, Iglesias entered into a tie game and allowed the go-ahead run.

\"You can see the other closers, they don\'t pitch in tie games,\" Iglesias told The Cincinnati Enquirer. \"I\'m the only one who comes in tie games and I\'ve given up homers and I\'m losing some games. I feel really bad.

\"I already have five losses, something that hasn\'t happened (to anyone else) in the big leagues. Five losses in the first month of ball. That shouldn\'t be like that.\"

\"The way they are using me is horribly wrong,\" he said.

You’re paid to pitch and get outs. Tie game or not, you’re failing on all levels.

Maybe the Reds are using you horribly wrong because they use you and have lost 5 times because of it.

He wouldn't last long on the Brewers with the way their coach handles pitching.
