Russell's really starting to kind of fall apart. Maybe it's time to keep him as a LOOGI for a bit.

Russell is what he is at this point. He isn't the best but he is decent lefty reliever which there aren't that many of. I don't think LOOGY is the right call, but he is solid despite being BABIPed to death.

BABIP should be weighted a bit less considering the line drives he gave up

I do agree he is good enough to not be a straight LOOGY though.

Yes it is a bit of baseball karma given that he has carried a low BABIP into today, but that is the way this should be viewed given the way Reds hitters have reacted to their "hits" this inning.

Ridiculous strike call which leads directly to the strikeout of Barney.

I like Carbrera. I think we will be okay. The BABIP 8th and huge strikezone is too much for a club this talent level to overcome.

Everyone needs work in the offseason. Hopefully the new front office has a workout plan for everyone as I think they will.

Soriano, Castro and Valbuena to hopefully drive a comeback.

I wonder when Chapman's arm is going to just fall off. 102 mph.

Would've liked to see how Travis Wood could fare against a Reds lineup with a healthy Joey Votto and a non-sucky Jay Bruce, but this was pretty nice.
Aroldis Chapman is unfair.
