What an awful pitch by Burton.......I mean come on man....give it right to his sweet spot.
Poor Ramon Ramirez. This guy has pitched well enough to be 3-0 but the freaking bullpen has blown three runs leads in both of his starts.
I said two months ago that there was no sense in bringing Burton back this season.
Bray & Lincoln getting loose. Why not use the new kids?
Agree that Burton does not have the stamina.....to go 2 in a row....you have other options. I don't mind him coming back....it's using him this much that is disturbing.
Burton really struggling to hit his spots. Let's see if he can put Braun away at 0-2.
Old dog new trick syndrome ?

Burton allowed 12 earned runs all season before his injury; He's allowed seven in his four appearances since the injury. IF they were going to bring him back they should have only let him pitch twice a week. An oblique injury for a pitcher can be rough.
Votto doubles to deep right center to begin the 8th.
Ground rule double by Votto. He and Bruce have been POUNDING the ball lately. LOVE IT!
