I'm thinking that Suter's braindead play was an act of selfishness and shows that he's worried about keeping his job.
When a pitcher makes a decision like that with one out and a four run lead in the 9th inning, he's thinking about his ERA and not thinking about finishing off a game. It might not quite be time to add 'veteran lefty reliever' to the trade list, but if I'm Krall, I'm paying close attention to Suter's next outing.
Abbott and SEVEN relievers. Probably wouldn't have used seven if it was a week ago, but now pretty much every reliever is ready for tomorrow's game. The only two relievers that pitched in game one vs the Marlins was Martinez and Diaz and neither of them pitched today. Lodolo will probably have a very short rope, especially if the Reds don't score early.
