We need runs. Tie game. We get up and quit while the other team nibbles away. Drat!

LeCure in.
Lee flies out to center to end the inning. But it's a 4-4 game to the 9th.

If the Reds lose the pundits will say that the offense didn't come through enough with men on base.
IMO, Dusty just left Latos in too long.
Pitch count doesn't tell the whole story. He has a slew of relievers available and there's no reason to push Latos in a game like this, especially after the Marlins got the lead off hitter on.

To be honest, I think Dusty was in a tough position no matter what. Fact is the Reds should have had a bigger lead. I was fine with leaving Latos in to start the 8th because while I trust Marshall/Broxton, it's not terribly hard to give up a single run against the home team with 2 innings left. The Marlins showed that with the base hit and sac bunt.
That said, he probably should have brought in a reliever to face Reyes.

With a September bullpen, the Reds could select a matchup for every Marlin player in the late innings. None of the relievers are overworked, it's easy to mix and match them.
Nothing to be achieved by leaving in Latos, he doesn't need the work, he doesn't need the confidence boost, no reason.
So he only had 95 pitches, let him have a 95 pitch day.
Just disappointing to see the Reds constantly in trouble in this series.
Cishek in
Ludwick flies out to left
Bruce strikes out
Frazier flies out to right
Gotta say, the sweep here seems inevitable.

I gotta' say, I'm getting pretty aggravated with this team. In 2010, when just making it to the playoffs was good enough after not seeing post season play for 15 years, I don't want to settle for just "good enough" this season. I know this team is a far more capable team than what they're showing themselves to be.
