I don’t mind playing the match -ups. I would argue using the DH on Tauchman was wise defensively while giving Ross options to play matchup. I would assume changes come for the Giants based on turns through a lineup giving their platoon reputation. 

Too early to use up the bench for matchups, roll the dice with Tauchman there, it only the 2nd inning, how many lefties do the Giants have in the pen

August’s Hitter of the Month still raking. Love how his change in aggression has made such a difference!

Dammit tie game and still 0 outs

[abuck1220]

ok everybody was all excited about the rested bullpen, time to use it 

[CubinNY]

Ross is infuriating on how he continues to let his starters go too long. They’d likely have three or four more wins.

I don’t mind this situation. He was cruising the last 3 innings and his pitch count was fine. A leadoff double isn’t necessarily time to rush to get him out of the game I don’t think. 

[UMFan83]

Ouch

[soccer10k]

I was just about to say I don’t trust Wesneski one bit.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Hmm he's allowed 18 HR in 77 innings. I believe that is horrendous.

[Cubs420psd]

Wesneski suckkssss

[UMFan83]

The Reds offense must really suck right now

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Meckler looks like a create a player from a little league world series video game

[PeanutPunch33]

Wesneski and killian are the 2 that got away haha. Both are poopsicles!

[s2obed]

Miss Fulmer right about now. This would be his inning. Instead we get our mop up guy in a tie game.

Blah blah blah shut down the Reds.  I still dont know why hes on the roster, much less pitching in a critical spot like that.  Yes I know hes done well against righties, but I just have no confidence in him

The same Reds offense that just scored 3 in the 8th to tie up the Mariners at 6-6?

[abuck1220]

Counterpoint: Hit some dingers instead.

They've won plenty of games in spite of his decisions that didn't work out. Let's wait a bit before we flip out.

I am very much interested in this hypothetical version of our bullpen where we have 11 outs worth of dudes you guys all feel totally comfortable using and it’s fine just using those dudes every night. 

[UMFan83]

Reds win

[UMFan83]

Ross may make a lot of dumb calls to lose games but Seiya’s magical week of rest may win them just as many games 

tie game

Batting order, yada yada. Suzuki needs to hit behind Bellinger.
