The fans have given up, but the players have to keep playing.

They need that much-maligned minor-league policy where the batter must take the first two pitches.
After tonight, the reds would have the 5th pick in next years draft only % points below the Indians...
4. Erstad singles up the middle.
Weathers in for Affeldt, and Jolbert Cabrera for EE at third in a double-switch.
5. Loretta pops out to deep short.
6. Pence grounds into a 4-6-3 double play.
Mid 8th: Astros 3, Reds 1.

You have to wonder what happens to players and pitchers when they come to the Reds. It must be something in the water.
Last year, Affeldt at Colorado, pitched 59 innings and allowed 47 hits. This year, he has already pitched more innings (60) and allowed more hits (61). Cordero pitched 63 innings and allowed 52 hits but only walked 18 all year. He's already walked 31 here and his ERA has balooned by a run.
Can't figure it out at all.

Make that 3-28 -- a .107 average and he's hitting leadoff? The fact that they continue to play him only proves that we have no bench, another failure at formulating a roster.

Astros bring in a lefty to face Patterson. Question is, why bother?
