I try really hard not to be one of those "GRRR, ME HATE DUSTY!" types, but I want him gone if Arroyo blows this lead.

At least have the pen ready.
He's been incredibly pitch efficient tonight. I have no problem with trotting him out for the seventh.
Still... I am a bit scared.

Arroyo's pitches have A LOT more movement on them then they did last year. That first curve to start the 7th was pretty wicked.

Ok, that strikeout pitch was filthy.

Werth strikes out swinging. 3 Ks for Arroyo.
Werth looks worthless. 1 out.

Gotta believe this is living on the edge. The offense is pathetic.

DeRosa strikes out swinging. 4 Ks.
As was that strikeout pitch. lol
Assuming he gets through the 7th, do you trot him back out there for the 8th? Or do you go to a Chapman/Marshall 8th/9th combo?

Bernadina grounds out. 1-0 Reds after 7.
Tremendous outing for the grizzly junk baller.
Stellar in every sense of the word.
Time for the Fireballing Cuban.
