It's almost impossible to believe that he wouldn't have also bet on the Reds to lose at times. Especially if he knew he had a pitcher struggling, or a sputtering offence. And at that point, it's a very short hop to managing to win the bet rather than the game.
I don't know why, but this really annoyed me.

Shouldn't it be he moved the foul poles? There are no goal posts in baseball.
