Aroldis pitching in a 6-0 game? What was Dusty thinking?
Our most dominant reliever (who supposedly can't EVER pitch 2 days in a row) is wasted in a 6-0 game? Now when we need him in a close game tomorrow, Crusty will say he didn't want to use him 2 days in a row. Friggen brilliant. Crusty might be be the dumbest manager I've ever seen in my 40 years of following MLB. He can even find a way to screw up a 6-0 victory. Unbelievable.

You also may be the dumbest poster on here ever. Stop complaining!!!
Re: Aroldis pitching in a 6-0 game? Is Crusty on crack or something?
there's a decent amount of the reds bullpen doing good.
Logan o (pitched today)
J.J. Hoover (pitched yesterday)
Jose Arredondo (pitched yesterday)
Alfredo Simon (I'm not sure but i think he did also)
Sam LeCure (not sure but you have to save him for longer than 1 inning here in case Latos gets in trouble early)
Sean Marshall (I guess he could pitch but no need to waste him here in case he has to pitch tomorrow.)
so idk I don't see the big deal.
Re: Aroldis pitching in a 6-0 game? Is Crusty on crack or something?
yes two weeks ago in a tie game with cARDINALS A NOT IMPORTANT RIVAL DUSTY BROUGHT IN BRAY AND LECURE IN EXTRA innings
great move
but today in a close game against the potent aSTROS HE BROUGHT IN CHAPMAN STRONG WORK THAT IS WHY NO SANE PERSON CAN HOPE THIS TEAM WILL ACHIEVE ANYTHING WITH BAKER

Very intelligent counter argument, you must be a regular Albert Einstein.

If you don't want people to react badly, don't start threads titled "Is Crusty on crack?" where you refer to him as the "dumbest manager ever". You can get your point across without being so over the top. Just my $.02
But for that matter, there's also no need for anyone to add on and call the original poster "the dumbest poster ever", which is also unnecessary and over the top. So I guess what I'm saying is play more nicely, everyone.

Attempting to understand Dusty's use of the bulllpen is futile....
Re: Aroldis pitching in a 6-0 game? What was Dusty thinking?
I know this won't satisfy the OP, but the explanation is quite simple, and most managers would do it (following some of the unwritten rules of baseball).
1) You don't use your "closer" in a non-save situation.
2) You do use your next-best bullpen arm, especially if he might be a future closer and he can "audition" in a "fake save" last-inning situation.
Not saying I would necessarily follow those rules (I don't like the whole "closer" concept), but I know Dusty loves those kinds of "rules" (the catcher hits 8th), so there ya go.
