Most important game of the Reds season and Dusty isn't even trying to win. I won't even complain about Ludwick batting second, lets just focus on Arroyo.
Arroyo sucks. He's terrible.
But Dusty started him in the most important game of the Reds season. And then he allowed Arroyo to blow the game. Arroyo gave up 5 (FIVE) Home Runs in 4+ innings pitched. Other managers playing in important games today have had quick hooks (Archer pulled in 4th inning after allowing 1 ER, Holland pulled in 5th inning after allowing 3 ER) but not Dusty. He allowed the Pirates to blow the game wide open before pulling Arroyo. At this point you might as well leave him out there and save the bullpen. Game is over.
