Kind of wish Negron was in there, but I like it.

Yeah....even though the hits haven't tallied for Negron for a few games, he's still having good AB's mostly and his range is greater.

Santiago has been solid for the Reds.

Do you think Ortiz would have been called out on the same pitch that Nava was for the 3rd out in the 1st?

Cozart grounds out to the SS 75% of the time

And sometimes they get 2 outs when he hits it to SS!

Cozart grounds out to the shortstop at least 75% of the time

Huge pitch count for Kelly and that's with Pena and Cozart both hitting 1st pitch double plays.

I think Chapman would have been easier for Yoenis to solve than Broxton!

Broxton has been around how long? Too fucking macho. When you sail a fastball at a big guy's noggin (intentional or not)...you got his attention and he's pissed and he wants to show you ASAP. The next pitch cannot be a fastball and especially down the middle.

He murdered that ball and I tip my cap to him. He would've swung out of his shoes on a curve.

Terrible pitching. Just effing terrible.

I hear by promote Jumbo ahead of Brox.

Had he not made Stanton look human...I'd agree

I was just about to say, I would have rather seen Jumbo in that situation.

I'm pretty sure you don't solve Chapman. You guess and hope.

I disagree -- some hitters look locked on to him, and Cespedes looks like he'd be one!

1st pitch to Santiago was a make-up for the 3rd strike he didn't call on Heisey.

Cozart got too far under the splitter for the final out. From the time the Reds were up 2 with 2 on and none out in the first, they made 27 outs without denting the plate again, and there in lies the major reason for the loss.

I'd worry more about Napoli vs Chappy

Cozart cannot be in line for the last out of a close game....just can't. Had Luddy in the pitcher 'a spot. How'd that work. Let Luddy try to double in Heisey and bat Leake to go extra innings or Hannahannnahannahan for the lulz.

I get so tired of managers not wanting to hurt players feelz
