Reds with a bad loss last night. I don't understand Dusty sometimes. I mean I really don't understand his thoughts. Leake is cruising having thrown 92 pitches but he pinch hits for him in the 9th already up 2-1. If it was Arroyo he would have let him finish. Not to mention Leake is as good as any hitter off the bench. He tries to bunt a runner from second with nobody out already up 2-1. He plays the infield in with the bases loaded and nobody out. Just play for the double play and accept you will have to go to extra innings. Not to mention it was clear Chapman was off warming up in the pen, then throwing his warm up tosses, and then from his first pitch. He really just has one sense of how to manage and can't adjust to any type of game situation which asks him to think some.
