I think Ned put Bush in as a message to GM Melvin that he would like him to make a move for a quality relief pitcher. He is saying Bush is his better option because he either didn't trust the guys who haven't pitched much lately, or he may be concerned about their health. I think Wise, and maybe Goonzalez, were the only ones in the pen who truly worked too much recently to not be available. Ned has made a lot of other moves that shows he does not trust the guys he has in the pen. I can think of times where he's let a starter who's been struggling all game have an at bat, only to get shelled the next inning. The only one he has shown any faith in was Turnbow, continuing to use him even as he blew saves. It took him a while pull him from the closre's role. I don't think many of Ned's moves were off base, including tonight's move. I also don't like may of the guys we have in the pen, and Im surprised at how Doug has been unable to pick up any help for the pen since the break. -

Predictable. It's clear this bullpen has been ineffective all July, and Melvin's inactivity to add depth has turned us into a noncontender. There's been no alternative to Turnbow for Yost to use as a closer, even though the Reds caught heat for their trades they are looking a lot smarter than us right now.
