Is Hannahan so good a hitter you can't waste him?
I would have burned Jack and used Derrick R to lead off next inning.

I feel a bit dumber from watching this poorly played game. Simon over Lecure... Egad.

Re: 6/13/2013 Redlegs v. Cub paws
And Manny Parra in to hopefully wrap up the inning.
Re: 6/13/2013 Redlegs v. Cub paws
Parra to pitch to Rizzo. LOOGY time.

I counter with close game is no reason to burn a bat in what could go extras. Get a defensive replacement in (not that it's completely needed), and let the pitcher be the 8th due up instead of first due up.
Now if Hanahan had actually got an at bat in, I'm all for Frazier staying in and Hanahan taking a shower.
Even more ideally, cozart was in the 8 hole, and hanahan replaced him...

Frazier has the best UZR rating on the Reds. He doesn't need a defensive replacement.
Your method didn't burn Hannahan, true.
You burned Frazier.
Re: 6/13/2013 Redlegs v. Cub paws
Parra gets the job done. But I was nervous.
Re: 6/13/2013 Redlegs v. Cub paws
Nice job by Parra. Get runs Reds.
Re: 6/13/2013 Redlegs v. Cub paws
Handy Manny comes through.
Re: 6/13/2013 Redlegs v. Cub paws
Parra does the job. I was not real confident there.
Re: 6/13/2013 Redlegs v. Cub paws
Now it is up to Broxton to blow it. You can do it!
Re: 6/13/2013 Redlegs v. Cub paws
Yay, now we gotta get through the 8th.

Parra is ok in exactly that role. Nothing more.
