Dammit, Jerry, you can't start planning who's going to pitch in the tenth inning until you get through the ninth. Extra innings don't matter a lick if you don't last through regulation.

    Is there a Reds fan left who doesn’t think Narron is terrible?

    No, Geki, I don’t believe there is.

    Me. I don’t think he’s terrible. Just strategically challenged. There are others parts to managing, though.

    Jerry is bad at the following:
    Handling a bullpen
    Handling a rotation
    Building a lineup
    Pinch-hitting in the correct situations
    Pinch-hitting with the correct players
    Making defensive replacements
    Double switching
    Talking

    Jerry is good at the following:
    Being a terrible manager
    Sounding ridiculous whenever he speaks

    You forgot “doing the little things,” Geki. You’ve got to give him the little things.

    And he does have that veteran manager presence…
