Burton in to pitch.
Thanks, Kitty. I didn't know.When you reply click on the [More] link in the smilies box for more smilies...
But it was actually more of a request for Matt's "thang-he-does", knowing they'd be there shortly.
Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
seems like Burton is getting a little too much work.
Levi!
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
LEVI!

4-6-3 DP ends the inning. 7-7 mid 8th.
Burton's 3rd day in a row called in for relief and 4th appearance in the Reds' last five games. Fortunately he hasn't thrown all that many pitches in any of his outings.
Either way, I'd probably give him a day off tomorrow even if it's a close game.
The Lost Decade Average Season: 74-88
2014-22 Average Season: 71-91
You were saying?
But seriously, I worry about him getting burnt out too. They really need some good, deep SP and soon.
Burton only threw 7 pitches tonight.

I've only seen a couple of Keppinger plays at SS so far, and he looked a little slow on those plays with and a little slow getting the ball out of his glove.
How was he on the turn of that last double-play?

Dunn Ks on 96 mph heat from Soriano. Man I wish someone in our pen could bring it like that.
Burton hits 95...
Reds go down 1-2-3 in the 8th. 7-7 after 8.
Harris, Johnson and Chipper due up in the top of the 9th.
