You are correct. But Harris is the light-hitting journeyman, while Frazier is the young guy with a future, so you had to know that was coming.

Hmm terrible lineup so they will either score 1 or 10 runs. Hopefully it's 10......

Looks more like 0...

Homer Bailey hasn't gotten any support all year really...

Reds from the first couple weeks are back. Can't hit. No plate discipline.

Quality starts in GABP this week aren't getting the Reds pitchers in enough good position to have a good shot at winning games!

Is this Harris' last hurrah, or will it be Frazier going down to make room for Cairo instead?

They'll use the excuse that Harris is the only left-handed bat off the bench to keep him up here. Dusty should seriously be raked over the coals for the lineup he put out there today.

Would you take a DP and a tie game right now off the bat of Meso?

That is what did happen! How about a bunt hit from Valdez to win it!

Should have tried the bunt, and Swaim should have taken Marmol a batter earlier!

lol Marmol is pure garbage. Glad MLBnetwork is showing this one. Got home from work with 2 on in the 9th.

Reds will win this for sure.

Was hoping that Dusthole would pinch hit Rolen or Cozart for Valdez in the 9th. But nooooooo. He let's Valdez strike out, and then fucking put Rolen AND Cozart in for defense in the 10th. And Cozart leads off with a single, which an inning earlier would have been the game winner.

Dusty holding out to try and give Rolen and Cozart the "whole day" off, and giving Valdez a chance to be a hero. But as soon as it went to the 10th tied, he went with his first team guys, over Harris and Valdez, in spite of the Harris walk to start the "gift rally" in the 9th. Now if Stubbs and Phillips would have disciplined themselves last night to not swing at a ball, this could have happened last night. If it would have, then Marmol may not have been in today to try for the save, and if he was in, the "leash" would have been much shorter. So probably the teams split the series either way!

Not batting Cozart for Valdez in the 9th and having Cozart come out to play the field in the 10th was Dusty's most ridiculous move of the season. What a fucking idiot.

Does it break the "No Namecalling" rule if I call Dusty a FUCKTARD?

No, unless he's a member and I don't know it.

Carlos Marmol should punch a fire extinguisher.
