7-1 now. Good sign as Bruce has two hits on the night.
Have they said why Cozart is out tonight? Is he sick again, dinged up, was he caught hanging out with Arredondo, or is he just getting the day off?
No I am not blaming the seven two out runs on Izturis.
BTW, did anyone ever explain why Cozart isn't playing tonight?
Ryan Hannigan is back in his funk again......
Robinson with 2 hits tonight....Why won't Dusty play him more?
Games like this happen, but this team had a chance to get back into it, to at least cut into the lead. At this point, everyone knows what Izturis is. Well, everyone but Dusty. The lineup mess is Dusty's fault. And no, the score isn't Dusty's fault, but he does shoulder some blame for limiting the Reds ability to sustain a rally to get back into this game.
But I don't get why Izturis is being singled out.
I haven't watched the whole game but a number of Reds have failed to sustain rallies. I've seen Votto and Hanigan hit into double plays. Frazier struck out twice, at least once with a man on, and is now hitting .231. Bailey got hit hard.
I don't know why Izturis is playing tonight, and I know people don't like it when he hits second. But I wouldn't single out the weak hitting backup in this particular game.
