This one never felt like it was in doubt, even when it was nil-nil at halftime. Cincinnati had some chances, but none of them were clear shoulda-scored moments. Glad Villalba got a good run out. He looked effective in his time on the pitch. I actually thought Pity looked pretty good, so I'm hoping the sub was either planned pre-game as a squad rotation thing or was a reward for good practice for a guy who just didn't fit into the starting roster strategy for the game. Josef with #15 in a row. Wow. If he evaporated tomorrow, we must count ourselves blessed to have witnessed him.
I've been laughing at this for 10 minutes! Couldn't have him bought by a European club, instead the poor guy evaporates?! Yes, I'd miss him but far and away my biggest thought would be "WTF?! Dude just evaporated!"
No doubt. I liken it to when I had Braves season tickets in the 90s and Maddux was on the mound. It was like you were getting to watch Picasso paint. You knew you were in the presence of ridiculous talent. Josef is similarly amazing.
Well, if he gets bought, then we got something in return and we can cuddle our stacks of dollar bills to comfort ourselves.
