    The radio PBP for this game was terrible.

    Thom did a pretty good job but it seemed like Marty was in another world.

    The win expectancy with Coffey out there is like Bluto Blutowskis grade point average....0.00.

    Yeah, I really wish they'd just stop with Coffey. He's starting to become legendary, and not in a good way. Cut him loose and prevent him from becoming a Reds' household name, like "Milton," as in, "to Milton" a pitch.

    True dat. He makes me wistful for the days of Phil Norton, Joe Valentine and John Riedling. At least with those guys you might see a zero when they got done. Coffey comes in and it is how many will he give up, not will they score on him. He had his moment in the sun in 2006 and know we pay for it with extra chances trying to justify an extension he didn't yet deserve.

    Hang On - you send out your closer with the tying and go-ahead run at the plate based on win expectancy. Not how Coffey looks. Sure he could come around but if you have a closer available this is exactly the situation that he should pitch in. Sure you could argue that the team does not have relievers to handle a five run ninth but once you get to this situation then its closer time.

    You know, Todd seems like a nice kid, but after watching him pitch with hardly any movement on those pitches, I have to say either he doesn't have the talent or the Reds have done a poor job of improving him. Of course, maybe he just isn't a good student which is always possible.

    I'm no genius and obviously that's true in baseball, but you would think some GM would cut bait with him. Krivsky thought enough of him to give him a extention and Jockkety thought enough to bring him up this year. He just hasn't improved. Maybe a change of scenery would do him good. That would be best for Todd and for the Reds IMHO.
