Reds Expos game 2

  • mhs95_06
    Reds on base averages for the game:

    Votto 0.833
    Arroyo 0.500 plus SF for only RBI
    Harris 0.250
    Hanigan 0.200
    Ludwick 0.200
    Rolen 0.200
    rest of team 0.000

    On the botched rundown play, I've got to hand most of the fault to Hanigan. the runner was smart enough to not let Rolen tag him. Hanigan could have saved the batter from getting to 2nd after the out by aggressively running toward 3rd to pinch the runner as closer the 3B as possible and as quickly as possible. As soon as Rolen realized Hanigan wasn't coming and he couldn't catch the runner he had to throw it to a stationary Hanigan which allowed the batter to 2B. Then Hanigan messed most obviously when he was running the runner back to 3B and gave up the ball too early, before the trapped runner reached the pinch point, allowing him to turn back toward home and get away again, allowing the batter to come to 3B. What in the world do they work on in spring training? Not this apparently enough or position player bunting? Or situational hitting theory!

    Jesus.

    I hate bringing the IF in....that was a routine MLB inning ending DP.

    Who knocked in the run? Hats off to Bronson....hell of an effort.

    Votto has to improve his running of the bases.

    PH for Willie so you can bunt???...with Cozart???? Double derp.

    Anyone worse than Stubbs?

    Great bounce back by Simon!

    Umpire at first was tremendous....guy at home sucked much bad

    Ludwig got his pocket picked on the tag up to 3rd and then jumped about 2 inches on the tying HR

    Suck me sideways.
