Game is 0-0 in the 6th inning CC vs. Cueto. Reds get Stubbs and votto on with no outs. Phillips up Bruce behind him. Why not bunt Phillips and let Bruce hit a sac fly? Nope Phillips GIDP. Bruce Ks inning over.
ive seen jay bruce strikeout approximately 45 times in this series so far... let phillips swing away.
This seems awfully familiar..........

Middle of a 20 games in a row streak.
Mike Leake pitches 8 innings of 1 run, 2 hit ball.
Let him finish the game? Nope, use the pen instead of letting them have a game off.
Arredondo gets the first 2, and then walks the next 2... Tying run in Jason heyward is now up. Pitching change again.

That was always the claim.
I wasn't really saying I agreed with them, I just found it weird that now somebody's complaining that he didn't use his pitcher long enough.

It wasn't all his fault. But he would let those two throw an insane amount of pitches every outing. Especially Prior.
Another thing that bothered me is he had his favorites. Neifi fucking Perez was in the lineup like every game.
He really is a piss poor manager that got lucky with study rosters.

Prior had fluke injuries and poor mechanics. Wood already had a history of arm problems before Dusty took over. Dusty had very little to do with it. It's a common misperception brought on by the lunatic fringe of Cub fans.
Who doesn't love Neifi Perez!
Marshall: MILSWANCAs?
Ted: Wait, I can get this. Mothers I'd like to sleep with and never call again.
Barney: Circle gets the square!

Lol I'm not arguing the fluke injuries (the broken arm) and poor mechanics, but there's no excuse for leaving a 22 year old on the mound for 120-135 pitches EVERY game that he wasn't getting shelled. That's all Dusty. He did the same to Wood.
When you have a young TOR flame thrower, and a guy with a history of injuries already, you absolutely do not allow them to over work as much as they did.

Reds have 2 days off in the next 6 days.
Dusty has given Joey Votto the night off.
Votto has 11 hits in his last 22 ABs.
He's replacing him with mike costanso who is 1 for 15 on the year...
He's also batting him 7th and batting .300+ avg hanigan 8th... Because apparently the catcher must always bat 8th..
Can we get rid of Dusty yet?
