People underestimate how valuable the setup guys are.
Ludwick strikes out swinging
Fully agree. To me, the next phase for Hoover is to close when Chapman rests. Which should be faiirly often. Like Graves/Williamson. It worked very well.
Broxton shares the eighth with Hoover. Parra/Marshall also pitch late innings to face lefties.
That's a good bullpen.

Cozart strikes out swinging. 5-3 Reds after 8
Chapman coming in
Kubel, Nieves and Gregorious due up
Hope Chappy has his mojo back tonight. And his location and gas.
She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning
Agreed. But I'm not saying this as a reaction to the blown save a couple nights ago. I've been wanting them to trade Chapman if they're never going to try him as a starter. IMO he provides more value to us as a trade piece than as a closer.
Did anyone happen to catch the answer to FSO's trivia question tonight? It was pretty interesting and I think I missed the answer.
Something like the 3 pitchers to start 25+ games each of the last 10 years. Arroyo obviously being one of them.

Heisey in to play left
I really do not know what to expect from Chappy...
Kubel lines a single to center
Kubel on with a single up center.
As long as a bad defensive play doesn't happen behind him, he should be fine.
A hit to start the 9th
