Drew, My goodness 4.50 hours of playoff baseball only to lose in the 13th inn while leaving 13 on base.I’m ready to be hurt again. Go Reds!
Tough lefty on the mound Hack and Shogo is a lefty batter.Reds fans of knowledge, query me this: why did they not start Shogo, given his hot bat the last three weeks?
And the hotshot shortstop?

Hmmmmmmm......
Why start a young hotshot SS when you can start a seldom used backup.....Catcher there instead?Reds fans of knowledge, query me this: why did they not start Shogo, given his hot bat the last three weeks?

Not really because there was only 1 out and Ozuna the hot righty bat was on deck and as you said lefty/lefty matchup with Garrett and Freeman. Plus a walk loads the bases and puts additional pressure on AG.The Braves looked like a t-ball team in the box yesterday. Kudos to Bauer and the rest of the Reds' staff...really neutralized Atlanta's big bats. Braves cannot have another game like that or the Reds will take advantage of it. Gotta wake up. That being said, is anyone else surprised they pitched to Freeman? I thought for sure they were going to walk him but I guess they preferred the L/L matchup.
Right, but the only runner that matters is the one on third. I guess with Freeman and Ozuna it's a pick your poison type of scenario. Just thinking out loud.Not really because there was only 1 out and Ozuna the hot righty bat was on deck and as you said lefty/lefty matchup with Garrett and Freeman.

Unfortunately, it was the right call.

He will lead off today v the rookie righty
I would have started Galvis as well but not Shogo v the tough lefty.I would have had Shogo in there over Winker. Winker has batted .100 over the last month while Shogo has been .300+ over the last month. Shogo has become an on base machine while Winker is ice cold.
Also you can't start Kyle Farmer in the playoffs over your every day SS who is a switch hitter. All of our big guns at the top of the order getting on base, then we have Farmer and Casali trying to knock them in at the bottom of the order...is anybody surprised that they don't knock them in? He's playing for the home run, when any runs will do.
*11th inning bases loaded with 2 outs: no runs
*12th inning first and third with no outs: no runs
*13th inning bases loaded with one out: no runs
That's loser-ific baseball if I've ever seen it.
Sorry for the rant...my Reds haven't been this good in a while and it feels like our manager is using us as an experiment haha.
Twas good while it lasted boys. Weve got the corp of this team back next year.
Nice to see the 1st place Flubbies not win a single post season game.
