I guess so. But it's that same emotional makeup that gives him the bulldog face we saw in the first few innings.

And in the biggest game of his life it caused him to meltdown. There's not much to defend.

Not with this manager in charge.

That's pretty subjective. It's not Baker's fault that Cueto went down. Some stated they should have started Latos last night. Really? And if he imploded like he did today then where would that leave us for game 5?

An overwhelming, vast majority of the blame goes on these players. Period.

I feel for the Reds fans who took three days off work, paying for those tickets, and seeing this. This easily could cost someone a couple thousand dollars in income/compensation.

But if they had only supported the team more.
