hahaha I typed up a post saying it must have been one with his chin buried in Uggla's neck but deleted it. I think he saves those ones for Uggla.

Let's intentionally walk Uggla from now on.

Thankfully they cut back to action before another awkward dugout hug.

Leake got hosed on that one. Painted the corner twice and didn't get the call. Still, Uggla can't hit anything other than the inside pitch, so you can't keep throwin' it there.

Is the bullpen that taxed? I'm kind of surprised that Minor is still in there, even with a couple of arms unavailable today.

No better right-handed option off the bench for the Reds.

I mean at least throw someone up there so Fredi is forced to get into his pen too. I doubt Minor faces a PH there.

Disagree.

That's a decision I actually agree with Dusty on. Why burn a pinch hitter when there is nobody on the bench who is really a better hitter than Leake? Paul would've been the only other consideration...and he's a lefty.

Could go either way...

Now, I disagree with keeping Leake out there to pitch the 8th...but batting him was the right call. No way he holds this at 2-1...

...and hit who? Corky? Every other option is far better as a lefty, or lefty only.

Leake is a pitcher. He sees a lot of hittable pitches JUST because of that. Thinking he was the best option there was just stupid.

That being said, leaving him out there for the 8th was a even more retarded decision.

Baker is a full on fucktard
