regarding Verlander...

check the game logs...it's all about the strikeouts

he's good when he's racking up the K's -- see his start vs. the Red Sox

but when he's not striking guys out...

Stupid ass decision is a matter of opinion. Don't state it as fact.
Do you think it was a good decision?
I don't think it is nearly as egregious as your posts are making it seem. We are six games up in the standings so not exactly a must win situation so as such I have no problem seeing if Verlander could finish the inning. This is the time of the season to see if JV can work himself into a pitcher that can contribute in the postseason.
Like I said above, JV is in the postseason rotation unless his arm falls off. Even if he's not deserving based on late 2024 you know he's going to be penciled in unless he's awful this month. Leaving him in had more to do with Espada having so much respect for him that he couldn't make the walk out there even though it was the right call.

BTW as we all know, a 10 game lead can disappear in 24 games and I'll feel good about that 5 game lead with about 5 games left.

Radio said Reds wanted a Labor Day game and MLB obliged. Not sure the collective bargaining allows for 20 games in 20 days, so we have a rare day off in the middle of a series

Agree to disagree about the certainty of his spot in the rotation as of today. If postseason started this week, you cannot justify him being in the rotation.

No, I cannot justify it but I am also not the guy that has to go tell him that he's on the bench in favor of some guys who spent most of last year in AAA.

They're letting Spiers arm fall off due to bullpen usage.

Peña never had that. Should've been a double play since batter stopped running

8 hits and 4 walks through just over 4 innings. He was averaging a shade under 3 base runners an inning, we were lucky to be tied, and Espada let him continue to labor and flail until JV's luck ran out and the Reds finally pushed more men across the plate.

Rough outing for JV and Espada both. Hopefully the bats can pick us up in the 8th or 9th.

Haven't been able to watch until now. Pitching just shaky all game, or is it an ump show?
