Larussa still has his fingers on this game

I hope this Winn PH AB doesn't turn into a double switch.

Our trademark double-switch, where the pitcher still comes out after one inning, a worse defensive player is rotated in, and the double-switched player is removed from the game before his spot in the order comes back?

LOL, yep.

And boy, Trevor sure works hard for his money doesn't he?

I imagine most intelligent Cincinnati Red fans will be extrmely pissed off at Brandon Phillips after this series is over

Yep, if you run your mouth like that and take 2 of 3 then you get pats on the back for firing the troops up. Run your mouth and don't win the series and you get blamed for getting everyone too worked up.

Or for firing up the wrong troops.

Christ, can't we ever save our bullpen?

Christ, can't we ever save our bullpen?

Five of the eight relievers haven't pitched in a week, Wainwright is going Wednesday, followed by an off day. If they get any more saved they may rust out.

[New Pagodi]

Why are we using McClellan here? He probably won't be available tomorrow. Wouldn't this be a good spot for Boggs or something?

edit: Not that he didn't do a good job.

damn that pitch was nasty

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

No game against Cincy this year will be a good place for Boggs unless we're down 10 or something.

everytime you post that, I get hungry for a Big Mac
