Terrible call at third. EE had the glove on him. With Freel's play in center, Dunn's strikeouts, and the umps' calls, this is one frustrating baseball game.Originally Posted by Cyclone792

Absolutely. No reason not to let Arroyo pitch the 8th. He's been pitching great all night showing no signs at all of being tired.
Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
wow, was I channeling you or you channeling me?
Agree 100% on the mental weakness of this team, its been that way far too long and its the one area I feel a good manager can have a huge impact on.
There are a lot of things that don't make sense. Why you'd keep Juan Castro and sell for cash a player like Brendan Harris sounds like a John Allen move to me.

Intentional walk to Green. Bases loaded with 2 outs.
I agreed until I saw the Edwin tag his own foot instead of the Met's players foot.

Good job by Burton to get out of that mess.
nice job by Burton
Phillips, Dunn, Encarnacion due up in the 9th.
It's only been an issue for about 6 years
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Time for Wagner.....not exactly an easy feat
Phillips singles to left to lead off.
Wagner's not all that quick to the plate so Phillips just needs to flat out swipe second base if he can get a good jump ... unless Dunn walks since he's already at a 2-0 count.
The Lost Decade Average Season: 74-88
2014-22 Average Season: 71-91
Ross is the closest thing they have to a leader.
Griffey's not a leader. Never has been.
Dunn's not a leader. Never has been.
Gonzo's not a leader.
Freel's a disaster waiting to happen.
Hamilton's not a leader or he wouldn't do what he did.
Phillips isn't a leader.
Hopefully Votto is.
One of the problems of the Mariners when Junior was there, was that he made it tough for a leader to appear on that team. Reds' fans won't know what I'm talking about, but Mariner's fans can back this up. There's an aura he puts on the team that isn't conducive to winning....there's not a team mentality where one each player is willing to sacrifice for the other.
If you see this Jojo, or WOY. comment please.

Dunn grounds out to 2nd. Phillips moves to 2nd.
