I could care less what is preached early on in the game. Jay Bruce took a pitch that was a ball, like he should have. Had he swung and missed it, people would be complaining about him swinging at ball 1. Joey Votto is a better hitter than Jay Bruce. He can do things Jay and a lot of other guys can't.
End of the day, you are complaining because a player didn't swing at a ball rather than complaining that the umpire called a ball a strike. Seems backwards doesn't it?
Choo manages to get a hit against a leftie and the Reds have a runner on to start the ninth.
Choo hits a Leftie.
Has Hannahan really seen 7 pitches and has 2 k's and a double play?
That's almost impossible to do I would think.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
Here we go Choo! Lets get 2 runs!
Maybe Choo is coming back around?

Damnit, dont bunt....
It was a great game thread for 7 innings, then the usual suspects show up and, boom, let the arguing begin. Sigh.
