May 26, 201115 yr Glad it was so important to send Frazier down to get another pitcher up here when we leave 2 on the bench in a 19 inning game.
May 26, 201115 yr Be mad at Dusty all you want, but if you run the other team out of pitchers and can't get a hit off a backup secondbaseman with the MVP taking cuts then the blame lies elsewhere. Ugly ending, but I'm way more annoyed when Janish bats second.
May 26, 201115 yr Maloney wasn't available after having thrown 3 innings two nights ago and they tried to warm up LeCure and he couldn't get his arm loose. Fisher was the only option for them.
May 26, 201115 yr How much does Phillips getting picked off last night hurt him with his team? Do they sluff it off? Or is it a play that irritates the team and causes problems with chemistry? At the least, it creates a problem going forward because the leash is now very short on Phillips with his team. I think this haunts him all season. Any minor slip up or lack of effort by Phillips will cause team mates to mumble and grind their teeth and talk about him in hushed tones and perhaps more. That game could be a big blow to the Reds team chemistry and psyche. Let's hope they do as they have done the past year and a half and rally back. It seems like over the last year+, every time the Reds look at their lowest they come back and play great baseball. My fingers are crossed that they do it again because they are definitely at a very low point today.
