Yeah, probably won't see that in the 7th from any manager ... even LaRussa wouldn't go for that experiment.

 

I know this. Just trying to say that we shouldn't have to wait until the 9th to use our best bullpen guy.

Adams may hit one to Memphis.

Looked like it was. If strike 2 to Ludwick was a strike ball four was definitely a strike.

 

Thanks. That's unfortunate.

 

Who says the Reds are in a position to blow it in the 9th if you get out of the 7th by using your best pitcher?

 

And Hoover just gave up his second granny in a week..

 

Who thought they were going to blow it in the 7th? They have to get it done at some point.

Sometimes your guys have to get outs. And they choked. Parra sucked, and Hoover blew.

Also Hoover got squeezed.

It was a situation that was setting up to blow it.

You're being unrealistic.

How so?

 

Are you in favor of only using Chapman in the 9th and no other time?

Wish they'd have replayed the ball to Votto. Am I the only one who thinks he ate it and should have turned it?

He had an inning and a 1/3 not long ago.

Choo, Votto, Phillips, Ludwick. Donuts

I don't think it was hit hard enough. Pretty pathetic to not have your head in the game at that point.

When I saw it live, I didn't think he could've turned it. Hit too slow and he was back.

I know that. I want to hear Crash's opinion.
