August 7, 201016 yr Author Tough loss. Oh they won. Would have never known around here... It would have been a very tough loss, but if you want to defend Dusty and Choke O have at it.
August 7, 201016 yr Tough loss. Oh they won. Would have never known around here... :lol: Whether the BGP Reds "brass" like it or not, Cordero is the closer, and will be this season and next. Also, he was wild, but he was definitely getting squeezed big time.
August 7, 201016 yr Who do you have the least amount of confidence in? Smith Ondrusek Arthur Massett Coco If you say Coco, then why should he be out there in the most pivotal of times?
August 7, 201016 yr It would have been a very tough loss, but if you want to defend Dusty and Choke O have at it. :lol: I'd love to hear what Dusty did wrong here...You have to trust your closer, and he did that until it was in danger of costing them, and he made the move at exactly the right time.

Choke O should have been on a much shorter leash after the way he pitched yesterday. I believe walking three, and hitting a batter is going a little too far with your closer, but hey that's just me.
August 7, 201016 yr It would have been a very tough loss, but if you want to defend Dusty and Choke O have at it. There is absolutely no defense of them and everyone knows it. You have been right all along, Cordero is just a choke artist and a wuss. No one in their right mind can say they have faith in him.
August 7, 201016 yr Choke O should have been on a much shorter leash after the way he pitched yesterday. I believe walking three, and hitting a batter is going a little too far with your closer, but hey that's just me. And lucky for the Reds, people with your mindset aren't in the front office or coaching staff.
August 7, 201016 yr You can't be serious... But maybe you are. He's been the most unreliable arm out of the pen all year. Just because he's put together a decent month, doesn't change that.
August 7, 201016 yr Author And lucky for the Reds, people with your mindset aren't in the front office or coaching staff. Coming from a guy who thinks Masset is terrible. :lol: If I were in the front office maybe the Reds wouldn't be stuck with Cordero's contract.
August 7, 201016 yr :lol: I'd love to hear what Dusty did wrong here...You have to trust your closer, and he did that until it was in danger of costing them, and he made the move at exactly the right time. Wrong...Only Dusty is wrong more, I believe. LRCW explained it very well. Re-read his post. Dusty did not make the move at exactly the right time.
August 7, 201016 yr Coming from a guy who thinks Masset is terrible. :lol: If I were in the front office maybe the Reds wouldn't be stuck with Cordero's contract. Right again... Masset is terrible... yeah right. I guess he feels Cordero is well worth his salary.
August 7, 201016 yr Right again... Masset is terrible... yeah right. I guess he feels Cordero is well worth his salary. Never said that, but when you're GM and ownership is stupid enough to invest that kind of money in a slightly better than average closer, you're hands are tied. You can't move him, the Reds aren't the type of team that can eat his contract, so you've got to use him. Masset's numbers are terrible this year. You guys said how he's so unhittable, yet he's got a 4.5ish ERA. How is that possible? I said at the beginning of the year, he wasn't near as good as his numbers last year, and I was right.
