Re: 5/19/12 - Reds at Yankees
You're seeing why having Dusty Baker shouldn't manage. Costanza shouldn't be playing, you don't sacrifice bunt with two on nobody out when you're winning....
And you don't pay Chapman 8 million dilkars to do what the Nationals pay Tyler Clippard 2 million dollars to do. What a cluster....

Nothing like letting the winning run take second.

Re: 5/19/12 - Reds at Yankees
We're good again.
Still think Jeter should have been out.

Re: 5/19/12 - Reds at Yankees
Is it really over this time? I'm watching with the sound off because I'm supposed to be working on classes I'm taking, but I'm sure that's the second time FSO has flashed up "Final".

Re: 5/19/12 - Reds at Yankees
Great job by the bullpen, except Marshall. Clutch outings for Ondrusek and Arredondo.
Suggestion -- Arredondo closes. |

Re: 5/19/12 - Reds at Yankees
Nice job by Dusty using Arredondo there. Had he left in Marshall, as is his pattern, the Reds would have lost.

A "closer" does NOT have to be a flamethrower. Just a strike-thrower. And Marshall, Chapman, Ondrusek, Arredondo all qualify for that. Sean simply has experience doing it before so it's his role for now. I don't get why that's hard to follow. If a pitcher gives up 2 runs in the 8th or 2 runs in the 9th...what's the difference? If the pitcher goes 1-2-3 in the 8th or 1-2-3 in the 9th, what's the difference? None.

Re: 5/19/12 - Reds at Yankees
When has Chapman walked anybody in bunches this year? It appears he has solved that problem. Marshall is a quality set up man. We know this. And being a closer isn't as simple as being a strike thrower.
