So the two prized catching prospects, Grandal and Mesoraco, square off and both are gone by the middle of the third.

But, and just to play devil's advocate, do you want to have a chance to get back in the game? Now, that probably isn't possible, but at 6-3 it was. I don't know the answer, but at some point you have to cut bait. The fans in the stands deserve that.Originally Posted by Kc61

I'm glad Dusty kept Mes from actually killing the umpire.
Pretty much. Then Devin points at something, the ump walks into it and then acts like Devin punched him or something. That really got Devin hot.

This. It's a marathon, not a foot race.

Holy hell the RF almost got that.
I know. Maybe I'm a disciple of Captain Hook.

Man, Venable got up on that. Impressive....I thought he had it.
This will not change until the Reds win the World Series.......

Manager has to decide whether to constantly warm guys up in a game like this. Dusty opted to give Simon that inning even though he was in trouble. I can respect that decision.
He has four with the Pads followed by three with the Bucs, there's a real price to using up the pen this early.
If Simon doesn't have it as we continue, I agree, you can't just leave him out there forever. But that inning, I would have done what Dusty did.
There was no doubt about it.
