The Reds bullpen has a 3.44 ERA
NL bullpens 3.62 ERA
AL bullpens 3.78 ERA

It would seem that Dusty did not want to use Brox and Chapman today, both have worked the first two games. But Logan has 18 appearances after today despite being at AA for several weeks. Too much for Ondrusek.
Logan just wasn't a good choice for today and it cost the Reds. Tough game.
Yep. Should have been Hoover.
Re: 5/26/2013 Cubs at Reds
Cards down 2-0 in the first with Kershaw pitching.

A few things. When did a 3 run lead become a high leverage situation? And Logan wasn't a good choice for today? The choices were Logan, Parra or Simon. That's it. Hoover was penciled in to close. You hold Simon just in case you go extras or blow it open. So basically Parra or Logan. Chapman, Broxton & LeCure were LAST options...Dusty said before the game that he didn't want to use ANY of them today unless he was absolutely forced to (not verbatim).

That is more than enough for Kershaw

If Hoover is closing today, he should have been warming up while the wheels fell off with Ondrusek pitching. He could have pitched to 1 batter in the 8th and then finished the 9th.
Dusty always leaves pitchers in too long. It's been one of his biggest downfalls.
Re: 5/26/2013 Cubs at Reds
I'm calling it - Choo walk-off.
Re: 5/26/2013 Cubs at Reds
I'm guessing we'll see JJ in the 9th and Simon if it goes extras. LeCure if we get desperate.
