    Sorry for my earlier rant. It's just so frustrating, so many games that should have been won, and so many stupid decisions from player personnel to in-game decisions. Too many close games thrown away. I need to take a vacation and will starting June 26th. Hopefully I won't stroke out before I get away.

    YES on applegate! Trailer looks kinda funny.

    I didn't think bringing in the lefthander and pitching to Votto in the 10th was a smart move.

    Votto was 1 for 15 against him or something bad, numbers were in their favor.

    I have no problem with saving Chapman for a save opportunity. But once there was a runner on second with one out in the bottomed the 11th, it was a save opportunity in my book. Get out of that situation, then worry about who to pitch afterwards. You could even let Chapman pitch more than one inning.

    Most managers wouldn't do it, but I think that was the best move to make.

    Its not atrocious logic, its called noting a precedent for the logic being used.
