If there's any pitcher on this staff that could use the confidence boost, it's Latos. He got stung by that blown save last time out IIRC. He's also had problems going deep into games thus far.Originally Posted by Patrick Bateman

IMO, whenever you NEED to. Not just when you CAN. I think relievers get used too often.
Votto singles to left.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
I'm telling you....cyborg.
Votto sees two pitches from this pitcher, gets fooled on one, and then owns him.
I just LOVE having this guy on my favorite team. WOW!

Yeah, but sometimes you give a guy confidence by taking him out after he's already got a solid performance in the bank. If the lead was more than 1, I'd have no problem with sending him back for the eighth until a guy reached base.
DatDudeHR!
5-2 Reds

LAUNCHED! BP!
Brandon says I got your LOOGY Right here!!
Remember you said that. *grin* I'm pretty sure it's more than 1 now. :O)
Fair point btw. Every guy is different, and they need different types of motivation. I'll trust Dusty on knowing his players.
Now that the variables have changed, I'm fine with letting Latos go back out for 1 more...no baserunners though.
PP, I thought you said Phillps couldnt hit lefties?
Bruce flies out to left.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
He's been dominant tonight, no question I stick with him.
Does that have to just completely tick off Indians fans everytime they see Brandon do this?
