Dude couldn't throw an actual strike to save his life. 20 pitches and only 3 were actually in the strike zone. He got lucky as hell that those guys were up there hacking away. If they had just stood up there with the bat on their shoulders, bases would have been loaded with 0 outs after 3 straight walks.

This was the 2 strikeouts. After Hembree walked the 1st batter and also threw a wild pitch.


That said, Doolittle was NOT the answer. Even if you ignore the fact that he's not a good pitcher and just pretend he is, the guy he was up against mashes lefties.

If I have learned anything about the 2021 Reds, that means that he will sit on the bench for the next 3 weeks while Suarez keeps hitting .170, and then be sent down to AAA.
