Don't dig in, Chase.
Don't dig in, Chase.
Dusty handled this correctly.
If Phillips hits for Valdez, then Simon hits ninth and leads off next inning.
You don't want that result.
This way, Phillips leads off next inning and Simon can stay in the game for the long haul.
Of course, the Reds could lose right here and it wouldn't matter.
He has insisted on using Marshall as a LH specialist. Then when he yanked him when he shouldn't have in the first place, he put LeCure in the game, a bad idea given his recent struggles. After giving up the lead, he left Hoover in to pitch 2 innings with runners threatening. Oh and when we got a runner on he pinch hits just to bunt in front of 2 contact deficient hitters. The Brandon Phillips thing just topped it off.
Simon is no Hoover.

Warm up the bus boys...

Cairo attracts pigeons the way he plays defense.

Surprised Cairo didn't try tagging the guy.
Oh well. Get home and get ready for the weekend.
I'd have gladly taken a split when this series began.
B Team all the way tonight. Just one of those games.
