Reds Continue to Hold on, Closer is a Question Mark

Being a Reds fan, nothing makes me happier than being able to look at the standings in August and see my team in 1st place. For the first time in quiet some time, Reds fans have hope of making the playoffs going into the stretch run of the season. However, even after taking the last 2 games from the division rival Cubs, I am worried about one role, closer. He hasn't pitched well in many of his outings last year, and his control is what scares me the most. In his last 2 outings, he has pitched 1 and 1/3 innings, walking 5 and hitting one batter. To make matters worse, he entered each of those games with a 3 run lead! It is so sickening to watch a professional pitcher walk into a game with his team leading by 3 runs and have him walk the very first batter like Cordero managed to do today. When you have a lead like that just throw fastballs down the middle until the opponent atleast gets the tying run to the plate. When nobody is on base, if somebody goes yard, who cares? Just throw strikes!!! Most of the time, especially when you have the velocity Co-Co Cordero has, if you just throw smoke you will get outs. The scary part is, I honestly don't think he can throw the ball over the plate when he wants to. As a fan of the team, I certainly hope he can turn it around because without him I don't know if we can hold of the Cardinals, but at some point the organization just needs to turn the page.
