Usually a great bunter.

I understand why Dusty left Leake in to bunt, but I wouldn't have done that. Would have used a pinch hitter

Dusty hoarding his pinch hitters for a possible 15 inning game, but I agree with Dusty in that situation!

Absolutely NO REASON Renteria should have been hitting there. NONE.

Leake gives up 2 HRs in 7 innings, but the killer was the 3rd HR given up to lose in the one other inning by the bullpen. Pitching gave up the 3 runs they are averaging giving up to the Brewers this season, but for the first time in 5 games, it wasn't good enough to win.

Reds deserved to lose it. Janish gets on to start the 8th, then 3 unproductive at-bats by Leake, Stubbs, and Bruce.

why pinch hit for Renteria....because he is 0-3? Hermida has yet to gain a hit as a Red........maybe save my pinch hitter for him if it comes about.....but regardless...2 hits ain't getting it.

Because my dog is a better option than Renteria.

Who of the 5 right handed pinch hitters you have on the bench are you going to put up instead? You've got away with the defensive liability that Renteria is at SS(compared to Janish) without it giving away any runs, I'd just as soon have Renteria bat there as any of those 5 on the bench.

Dusty is no Sparky, who, in the 7th game of the 1972 WS, put his premier pinch hitter, Hal McRae, up in the 5th inning to hit for his starting pitcher, Jack Billingham, who had given up no earned runs and trailed only 1-0. He got the game tied, but didn't get the knock-out blow he was looking for, and then the next pitcher gave up the game losing runs in the 6th inning. I remember it well!

No more game threads for me..pretty sure the Reds are 0-3 or 0-4 when I start a game thread.

Renteria has been very solid all season with the bat. I would have left him in as well.
