Off the Wall? Probably, but...

...what if every game that Volquez was scheduled to pitch, the Reds started Maloney for the first inning?  Thow the lefty against their lineup and then bring in Volquez for innings 2-7.  Volquez can't get through the first inning so we can just avoid it.  He can mow through the bottom of the order, get some confidence and deal for the rest of the game.  Would never happen, but fun to think about.
