You don't think Mills would have countered with a righty off their bench?

If the argument is not the righty, but that the righty is Ondrusek, i'm with you.

Me want CoCo.

This game is on the manager, the umpire, Ondrusek, and the defense (four errors) probably in that order.

Just a terrible decision to keep Ondrusek in so long and against the lefty hitter.

Bogusevic flies out to center. 3-2 Astros after 8.

Right because pitchers never give up runs and if they do, it's proof someone isn't good.

Absolutely. Good grief. And people wonder why Dusty gets such a bad rap.

I don't understand. Why wasn't Marshall in to begin with?? Isn't this his spot?

Hope they're using the Cordero-coaster again tonight.

I'd rather have Marshall facing any righthander on Houston's roster than Ondrusek pitching against anyone.

I fear the worst. And I hate that

He's not good by any metric.

I am not sure but this may be the most errors the Reds have had in a game all year with 4 even though the earlier one on Rolen was ridiculous

Marshall or Chapman vs. a right >>>>>>>> Ondrusek vs. either righty or lefty. Everyone SHOULD know that.

And it goes beyond any explanation why you would let him face a lefty there.

You have an off day tomorrow. You have 5 better relievers than Ondrusek. And you do that. It is not defensible. It isn't.

Valdez, Mesoraco, pinch hitter due up. First Phillips should be hitting for Valdez

The Phillies appear to differ with that opinion.
