Pettitte is going to be tough to beat.

[ArmyBengal]

And was...

Yankees win 4-0.

I knew Pettitte would be tough to beat.

[semiotter]

Seattle beat him come on!!! He sucked in the minors getting ready to be called up... I guess he finally got his groove back. Damn and the Reds had to be the team he pitched to.......

[BengalszoneBilly]

Votto is having a good day! Three run shot to give the Reds a 5-2 lead!

[BengalszoneBilly]

In comes Chapman with a 6-3 lead. Que the fat lady!

[BengalszoneBilly]

WTF!?! Dusty pulls Chapman for Marshall!?! Dude, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

[BengalszoneBilly]

And here come the Yankees. 6-4 bottom of the 9th. :frustrated:

[Stripes]

Dusty is a colossal moron. He is obsessed with the classic bullpen structure and refuses to make changes despite the obviousness of Marsall's unworthiness.

[Stripes]

This is the second time Baker has pulled Marshall during the 9th while the Reds still held the lead, so he has got to f**king fix it. Sheesh.

[Stripes]

Whew. Great job, Arredondo. Reds win 6-5.

Ondrusek or Chapman had better be the closer next time.

[BengalszoneBilly]

In spite of Baker's mistake of switching pitchers, The Reds squeaked out a one run win.

Dusty is an idiot.

Marshall's been pitching well lately.

Oh well, looking at the bright side...this is the 2nd quality start in a row that we've seen from Bailey.

Chapman should be the closer. Period.

Good call. He's had a better year to this point than Latos.

They're wasting him as a setup guy don't you think?

[Stripes]

I think a good starter is always more useful than a good closer, but I'd be fine with trying Chapman at either slot. Billy's right, 7th/8th inning setup guy is a waste of a role for the most dominant reliever in the majors right now.

Agreed. Either start him or let him close out games. Anything else is wasting his potential. It's hard to figure out what Baker has in mind for Aroldis.

[BengalszoneBilly]

I hate to bring this up, but Sabathia has a no hitter running into the 5th inning.

***EDIT*** As soon as I posted that Frazier got on with a single!

[Stripes]

2-2 in the 7th. 2-run homer by Ibanez in the bottom of the 6th, then solo shots by Ludwick and Hanigan in the top of the 7th.

Nice comeback after going down by two. We need a bit more.

[Stripes]

Phillips draws a bases loaded walk!

3-2 Reds

I'll take 'em any way I can get 'em. Now bring on Chapman and finish this game!
