Hoover did pitch well, although it was a non-pressure situation so we can't be sure of anything.
My rule would be that guys like Marshall, Chapman, maybe even Broxton pitch their normal roles if they can. Even if a bit tired. High level relievers if healthy.
But when you're dealing with guys like Alfredo Simon, I'd rather have a rested Hoover. Simon isn't at the high level that warrants use when tired.
I do believe the Reds would have won today if Dusty had played it my way. But we'll never know and it is what it is.

We're bad again. Go get Arizona.

Good game everyone. Good series. Should be a fun race the rest of the year.
I'm still predicting the Reds win the division by double digits.
