first off why isnt chapman the closer of this team?  chapman has  a  0 era in 15 ip. he last like 28 strikeouts in those 15 ip. he was just throwing 102 and the 3 batters didnt come close to touching him. so lets bring in sean marshall because he s got some filthy shit   i m no manager but shouldnt the guy thats practically unhittable be the closer? 

Bad call from both sides.  Shouldn't had change Greinke.  Shouldn't have changed Chapman.  Very bad coaching decision on both sides.

agreed.

wow dead center to the wall for heart 

  i agree

agreed

completely agree bads. Dusty thinks he is doing some sort of good by preserving his arm but for what???? Dude is 24 yrs. old and throws gas I don't know what other time suits using him, he only threw 16 pitches in the 8th.

heart almost tied it and now the winning runs at the plate. this is painful to watch. marshall and his box curveballs

1st and 2nd now    he s thrown almost 40 pitches. GET THIS FUCKIN GUY OUT

Ondrusek is pretty dirty might take over as closer for this team. As a Phillies fan I'll take madson back next year at a discount lol

 ondrusek  walks the first batter   get the lube ready cincy backers 

what the fuck is going on ...

Was just about to drop my pants and grab my ankles and then Ishikawa pops out whew

phew. well ill give dusty credit for taking marshall out before he completely burned down brewers stadium with his gas can, however if he trots marshall out there again to close a game he should be fired on the spot 

Whew! They sure mdae it interesting.

The guy couldn't find the plate so Ishikawa hits the first pitch!

 He isn't the closer because they want to move him into the rotation. So, they don't want to mess with roles right now. He also has never closed games before. That being said, his control is much better now and I say f the roles until he is ready to move into the rotation. Just passing on what I have heard beign from the Cincy area. IMO I think Chapman goes into the rotation when Masset and Bray are back. The problem was Chapman didn't exactly blow them away as a starter this spring.

then put ondrusek as the closer if chapmans going to be a starter but they CAN NOT have sean marshall closing games the rest of this year if they want to contend for anything.  the guy throws like a box.

and if they are going to make him a starter why not let him go 2 innings there today? he only threw 16 pitches. his arms not going to get streched out like that. plus this was only the second time he pitched on the road trip they said. doesnt make sense

i agree.   you got a setup man who throws 101   and a closer who throws 88 mph  meatballs   lmao

 

Dusty Baker is on crack. He is a terrible manager and his team sucks. Nobody worth anything on that team except Votto.

It is no surprise that teams like the Tigers and Reds continually underachieve.

REDS down 3 now like 2 wasn't enough.
