There are things Dusty can and should be blamed for, and things he should not be blamed for. Walking a guy, and then throwing a pitch right down broadway for a walkoff 2 run HR is not something he should be blamed for.
what a difference four days makes, but the pitching staff is getting better as the season rolls on. That's the only thing I'm hanging my hat on. We'll know on August 5th if the division is still in play, can't drop 8-9 games in the loss column behind two teams with 52 left.
They easily would be 7-2 on this trip with any offense whatsoever. And that include the giveaway game in the doubleheader nightcap.
Other than throwing really hard I see nothing different in Chapman than Coco Cordero
He usually gets the save, frequently makes it interesting when he should not
Can not believe people would not trade Chapman for a bat
The Reds have several guys that close games at the same rate as Chapman

there's nothing like bowling a 300 game! 13 now and retired.
Ricky henderson has a higher OBP than C. patterson and he's retired. C. Trent 6-14-2008
Blaming this on the manager is really hilarious
Again, Dusty gets no credit for success and all the blame all the time
How about the guy that put this roster together?
