  Looks like Dusty giving up on the game by hitting Thompson!
• mhs95_06

  They must have known Bailey was not 100% long before the game today to pluck Thompson from AA to pitch "today"!

  If Thompson is out there still, then that should tell us why he's up. Everyone else is gassed and needed a day.

  It means nasty factor. I'm not joking either.

  Here’s what MLBAM says about the Nasty Factor:
  
  What is the Nasty Factor?
  
  The Nasty Factor evaluates several properties of each pitch, and rates the "nastiness" of the pitch on a scale from 0-100, based in part on the success or failure of opposing hitters against previous similar pitches. The Nasty Factor incorporates several different factors for each pitch, including:
  
  Velocity — The greater the pitch’s velocity — as compared to that pitcher’s and the league’s range of speed for that pitch type — the greater the nastiness;
  Sequence — The more the pitcher mixes up his pitches, the greater the nastiness… and certain pitch sequences are nastier than others, too;
  Location — The closer to the edges of the strike zone is, the greater the nastiness, while pitches closer to the middle of the plate, and farther away outside the strike zone, decrease in nastiness;
  Movement — The more movement the pitcher applies to the pitch — as compared to that pitcher’s and the league’s range of movement for that pitch type — the greater the nastiness.
  The Nasty Factor also adjusts for how often the pitcher has faced the current batter during the game, as well as how often he has used the same pitch type against the same batter in the current at-bat and previously in the game.

  It makes sense that he could be hurt. He didnt pitch last night when they needed him.
  
  Nasty Factor? You gotta be kidding me. That sounds pretty stupid

  I agree about the nasty factor thing. I was trying to figure it out forever.

  So nice to have Chase back in the lineup.

  Ugly 10 days for the reds to say the least.

  LOL, eh looks like Cairo is one of the few who showed up today, 3 of 4 , 2 doubles, 2 runs outt of 4 total
  
  Bruce hot, 9 for 21 in the series! 3 HR's and 11 RBI's!
• thavoice

  SOme will say move bruce to the 4 hole.
  
  I dont know....dont fuck with a hot streak..keep him where he is at.
• Ironman92

  

  Bash my thoughts if you must....but Bruce is on fire...but I think pitchers are missing in his hitting zones and greatly helping his case. I know they are very good pitchers...but i'll be surprised if he is above his average much longer.
  
  This being said...the Reds don't have a #4 hitter and Bruce is more than able as much as anyone else right now.
  
  The key with the current Reds is Phillips batting 2nd and not 4th so it frees up other players who can fill in the other spots per hotness at the plate.
• Midstate01

  

  I think the key is Bruce not reaching and swinging at bad pitches. He's waiting for pitches he can pull hard.
• wildcats20

  

  I'm completely OK with the 1-5 hitters right now. I don't think that Dusty needs to do anything about that. He finally got it through his head that BP needed to be batting 2nd.

  Many times pitchers miss their spots...sometimes the batter hammers it and sometimes not. The difference is when guys are hot they rarely miss those pitches, but when you are not going well they dont hit them as often.
