... why in the world was Aroldis Chapman not called on when Houston got 1st and 3rd with no outs in the last inning?
I've long since conceded this year was over, no matter what happened tonight. Just curious as a baseball fan in general.
You're in a situation where you obviously need a K (or three) and you've got a guy who throws 100-plus. Their team has several new guys who have never seen anything like AC.
Why was he not in the game?
Rounding third and heading for home...
Said the same thing when I was watching. You absolutely have to make that move. Ondrusek has been good this year but not a guy you have confidence in to get 3 straight outs. You have to lose with your best players. There's no way those new guys touch Chapman.

Baker has got to go. The Bullpen was rested yet he throws Logan out there yet again. When they said he was coming into the game I knew it was over unless we scored. Saying that it really should have never come to that. If these players could score a runner from third with less than 2 outs you would have seen Cordero in the 9th for the save.
Dusty's response........"it all happened so fast"
I can give you just about the most honest answer you're going to get:
Dusty Baker.
There's your answer.
Why? Who the frig' knows? The guy couldn't properly manage a little league club.
because he wasn't warmed up?
Now don't ask me why ---
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
Why wasn't he warmed up?
May the Lord bless
OK --- you are OUT of my will

I was gonna offer you a plan now at a reduced rate.
May the Lord bless
They are limiting his appearances and work load which is EXACTLY why he is a horrible choice to work out of the bullpen. Guys in teh bullpen need to have rubber arms and able to go when needed no matter what. It takes a special kind of pitcher to work out of the pen. This is just example 1,234,345 as to why the Reds are horribly ran by both Dusty and Walt.
