Reds steal Brewers' closer. First meeting of the new season, the Brewers' new closer blows it in the ninth. Karma, plus the fact that the new closer is Gagne, makes this seem probable.

Question

If Hatteberg's in at first now, why not just hit him for Votto initially? Lefty matchups, right, but Norris had no business being there.

You want a guy who can hit it out of the infield there. If no one was on base you can pinch hit there.
