He could have done the same effing thing if he had left Peters in, and that's what is so maddening about that inning.
I agree100%

If you're willing to let a pitcher give up 4 runs just to get a complete inning, WTF not the starter then?



I just don't get this guy, yet in post game pressers always talking about how the bullpen guys have to pitch so many innings. This was a night numbskull to give them an extra breather

With no Bednar, why on earth would you not try to at least give Peters a chance to go 6?

Does Shelton know he doesn't have Bednar anymore?

he's going to blame it on Bednar going on IL.

Shreve coming on to pitch the 7th. I'm guessing they'll try and get 2 innings out of him.

Myself if you're going to put in a RP in the 6th, I'm putting in Kuhl

As puzzling as it gets. Everyone knows that the Reds score runs. We've got to shut them down way before it's too late.



I'm not sure that it was well in hand. With the Reds, no lead is safe. With the Pirates.....no lead is safe.

Shreve gets them in order.



Need Reynolds and Yoshi to make some magic this inning

Reynolds strikes out, no magic there
