Re: 6/24/12 - Reds vs Twins
I would not have bunted there. Harris is fast enough that he likely wouldn't have been doubled up on a ground ball. I just don't like giving away an out here in the 9th.

But a fastball doesn't equal a homer. That pitch was right down the pipe. Why? Because of the fear of the walk. Chapman should mix in other pitches, but can still be effective if he locates his fastball properly. |

Re: 6/24/12 - Reds vs Twins
Since coming off the DL, Rolen is 7-18.

The hooker/girlfriend/hooker hotel stuff is disconcerting too, not mature enough for sustained success in my esteemed Internet opinion. Now, let's get a hit and make all of this moot. |

But Leake going for the fourth time through the middle of the order isn't the best idea. Nothing wrong with the decision. Chapman is the problem, he's not getting it done. |

Re: 6/24/12 - Reds vs Twins
Why not pinch run Billy Hamilton for Rolen?
