Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
Richar grounds out. 1-0 D-Backs after 7 1/2. Looks like another tough loss for Harang.

Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
When is Webb a free agent?

Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
why would Baker not pinch run for Bako there? He was out there for 3 hitters, any of whom could have singled.

Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
Votto/EdE/Bruce are due up in the 9th. Hopefully the bullpen can keep this a 1-0 game.

Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
Dusty brings in the struggling Jared Burton to pitch the 8th. I guess Roenicke was brought up to be emergency guy in case a game goes into 35 innings.

Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
And error number 3 on the night gives Salazar third base.

Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
Jared Burton is clearly not healthy right now. I don't understand why they brought him back despite having expanded rosters.

Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
Burton doesn't seem to have the same velocity or am I seeing things?

Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
You're exactly right. A strained oblique can be rough on a pitcher. The best thing to do IMO would have been to shut him down (like you and I and others suggested) and let him rest up for spring training. He's clearly not at his best right now.

Burton walks the bases full with Dunn up.

Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
They may as well send some of these callups back down....clearly they can't be upgrades...they're lacking experience.

Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
I haven't read the whole game thread, and it may have already been mentioned, but Marty said he talked to one of the D-Back radio guys and asked them their opinion of Dunn. The response was, "walks a lot, strikes out a lot." Apparently, Dunn's going to face this wherever he goes.

Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/12/08
He has experience and experience gets batters out. Duh.
