Being a good pitch framer is a game changer with umps like this. Wow.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand

I will say that the Reds are not a boring team.

I don't see asking for 4 outs as that much of a stretch fro asking for 3 outs... especilly after watching Brach getting hammered. I'm happy Doolittle did the job, but I just think, if he wouldn't use him in the 9th, why use him in the 8th with the bases loaded. I'd say use your best pitchers in the highest leverage situations.

Baseball update: Luis Castillo is one of the most coveted pitchers on the @MLB trade market, with a 1.76 ERA over his past 9 starts. For now, however, a trade remains unlikely. Castillo, 28, isn't eligible for free agency until after the 2023 season.

I actually think Hembree in the 8th to get that out would have been a good move. But who pitches the 9th? Because no way was Bell going to let Hembree get warm in the 8th. Sit down get cold and come back out in the 9th. Relievers are much different than starters. Most don't do well when they have pitched one inning most of there career's then are asked to pitch more than one inning. It all boils down to this pen sucks and it needs help. Can't burn out only reliable arm.
