The only number on the line-score that's less than the Reds' score is the number of Phillie's errors. I'm going to stay awake for this, and then take a nap. Dunn's up. Nobody on. Zero outs. 1-2.

He's driven in a run today. And Castro just had an error himself. EdE isn't actually doing so badly lately, but even if he were I wouldn't object to responding to his performance if they seemed to be responding to anyone else's. The interaction with the players is Narron's strong suit; strong enough to make up for his dearth of in-game management skill. If he can't deal with the players in a way that's constructive and fair, I don't know why we'd continue to keep him around. EdE was 2-for-4 last night. He’s driven in a run today.

Double-switch immediately after EdE's error. It was convenient that EdE was also the last out of the previous inning, because he gets to be substituted with Castro. But since it's a double-switch, it is effectively pinch-hitting with Castro. I hate that. Ugh. Double-switch immediately after EdE’s error.
