The runs Wisler gave up don't bother me. Votto's HR is a routine flyball most places and the replay officials gifted the Reds another run.
It's the 3 BBs to no Ks that's more worrisome.
Do y'all think we've seen the last of Perez?

Guys were jumping on first pitch fastballs. It's not a difficult adjustment to fix that. Just mix up the pitch selection.
The lack of swings and misses is more concerning. Makes me think he needs his absolute best stuff to miss bats and having your best stuff doesn't happen a lot.
He needs to develop a third pitch. It would have gone a long way last night.
I doubt it. Also I forget where the information is located but I want to say that the chance of getting at least 1 run is greater in that situation even if the average total number of runs may be less. I could be wrong though.
Clearly there are some situations where a bunt is optimal but generally it's not.
