Re: 8/23/12 - Reds @ Phillies
Dusty handled this correctly.

If Phillips hits for Valdez, then Simon hits ninth and leads off next inning.

You don't want that result.

This way, Phillips leads off next inning and Simon can stay in the game for the long haul.

Of course, the Reds could lose right here and it wouldn't matter.

The Brandon Phillips thing just topped it off.

Simon is no Hoover.

Play to win, not to not lose.

Cairo attracts pigeons the way he plays defense.

I'm not seeing a problem with any of those things. At most, they're differences of opinion on how to manage a baseball game. You say potato, I say...

No. The ball was almost a foot to his right. Out of his zone.

Oh well. Get home and get ready for the weekend.

I'd have gladly taken a split when this series began.
