And Baerga with the groundout to 3rd. Still should've let Claussen finish out the inning.

OK, at least he got out of it. I like having the lead still, but we need to make it a much bigger one.
0 ER given up but Claussen couldn't get the Quality Start because of Narron. He overuses the bullpen so much and doesn't use the right pitchers in the right situations. Belisle should have been in when Standridge was last night.
The Simpson family gathers around, as Homer places Bart's passed test on the fridge.)
Homer: We're proud of you, boy.
Bart: Thanks, Dad. But part of this D-minus belongs to God.
I think Frank Robinson is just as clueless as Narron, but in a different way. He leaves in Hernandez despite his high WHIP today. He might not give up more ER here, but the heart of our order is up...

A Griffey bomb makes thing look better already!
Sorry Dave...Hal won't be eating that column.

Yep Hal vs. Dave, Hal wins!
Good thing Frank got those extra pitches in for Livan. He just made his WHIP vs. Runs Scored a bit more realistic for the day by doing so.

Dunn got hit by a pitch by Hernandez, and that chased him from the game. Joey Eischen is in the game. As for Livan having a high WHIP today, that's not really a surprise. He always has a high WHIP, and 100 pitches for him is like 80 for anyone else.
I know he can throw a lot of pitches, but the Reds were bound to do some damage with the way they were getting on base today. Frank ignored the truth and it bit him.

A rare fielding mistake by Nick Johnson results in 1st and 3rd, 0 outs. Eischen's coming out. Casey got credit for the hit there, but Johnson just booted a funny hop.
I have to go to a staff meeting. I'll talk to you guys later. Go Reds!
I'm just saying, Livan's WHIP coming into the day was 1.47. It's not like he's stingy allowing baserunners.
