Brewers at Reds: Sunday, August 17 @ 12:40 p.m.: Jose Quintana (3.44 ERA, 4.73 FIP) vs. Andrew Abbott (2.41 ERA, 3.66 FIP)

Anderson's been fine this year. High usage middle reliever. He's obviously not a closer, and no matter how much people think that's no different than pitching the 6th inning, it's a different mindset. He's fine in his role, but closing isn't it. 

[DonBarclay]

1. Going to extras makes pulling Tobias that much worse, he could’ve gone 5 if needed. 
2. Just let Grant go. We win or lose with him out there today. Send him down tonight for a fresh arm. 

[wildcat83]

Pulling Myers just made no sense.  Going from righty to righty and not like one is drastically different than the other.  If they tie it off Myers he can keep pitching into extras and you still have Anderson.  Now into extras we use more arms and put the availability tomorrow in a worse spot.  Murphy over thought that one.

[HarryDoyle]

As bad as that was for Anderson, this game is over if Turang doesn't boot that grounder.

[duewizard]

Anderson down and maybe Yoho up tomorrow for bullpen depth?

[RobertCrawley]

Glad to still be in this thing, but don't want to tax the pen before the Cubs series.

[kevinisaname]

That may kill it....

[crossface2311]

I think it's Anderson to finish the game. Save everyone else for tomorrow.

What the frickity frick is with the bunts!!!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Need to play for more than one run anyway in extras on the road, not sure about bunting there.

[adambr2]

That’s what you get for all that dumb ass bunting.

I like the bunt there.

[HarveysWBs]

Either drill bunts a million times in practice or give it up already. This is brutal.

[BCF]

Brewers really don’t deserve to win this game and easily should have been swept 

[yourout]

Stop bunting.. we suck at it

Sure, if they were actually good at it.

Hate it, particularly with Vaughn running. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Well going for Game 15 in a row we get that inevitable Murf Bullpen management question. I guess that's progress?

[Bulldogboy]

Bunting with your slowest runner is wild and dumb.

[RobertCrawley]

Need a base hit right here.

MAYBE losing after 14 straight wins in which they've manufactured numerous runs with the bunt?

[kevinisaname]

Darn. That may be the end...

[HarveysWBs]

Yeah. I 100% support running Anderson back out there and just letting this ride.

We have the best baseball record in all of MLB and we're still questioning Murph's decisions? How good do we have to be?
