agree 100%. if the firings are to start, I would prefer they start with Jacoby. Reds team BA over .260 ONCE over the last 6 years. for some teams that might be acceptable; it's not acceptable for the roster the Reds have/had.
I'm not a dusty hater by any means, but leaving Cueto in that long was ridiculous. The box score for Cueto doesn't speak loudly enough. EVERYONE was connecting off of him. He should have been yanked after giving up the 2nd bomb (didn't have the luxury of a 7 game series). Buccos did their homework and they saw Cueto's release plain as day.
And I agree Jack, at no point in that game is it acceptable to see Ondrusek. Each playoff round allows for a new roster to be submitted. The WC is a round, itself.
Much props to the pirates, though. They played one hell of a game!
