  It was close. He tagged him up around the letters though, so I thought he BARELY got in.

  Next two innings are big for Latos.

  Very small strike zone tonight.

  Great job Latos. But wtf is he talking to the home plate ump. My guess, they come back and he's been tossed. Which would be stupid. You got the dp and have the 9 hole leading off next inning... Just go to the dugout.
• Midstate01

  

  To my surprise, he didn't get ejected.

  Wandy just gave up a HR to a pitcher. SMH
• Midstate01

  

  That was hilarious!!! Latos hits a 2 run homer and a pirates fan caught it. His face was priceless, then he just tosses the ball over his head.
• Terry_Tate

  

  That was a line drive shot by Latos. I forgot it was the pitcher hitting with how fast that thing got out.

  Cozart plays a mean ss.
• Azubuike24

  

  Broxton...big situation.
• mhs95_06

  Stubbs mis-judged that fly ball blooper, costing the 2nd out. Now one out and two on, and it costs Latos leaving the game with a shut-out working.

  And he has three hits, everyone within 20 degrees of the LF line!

  I read somewhere that Broxton wasn't throwing as hard as he once did. Looks to be throwing pretty damn hard!
• killer_ewok

  

  Another DP. Damn.

  Buccos have grounded into a ton of double plays. We need another 1 or 2 to feel comfortable.

  He had a poor jump, then took a bad angle and then refuses to sell out dive for it.... despicable effort. I can't fathom a player in the 8th inning of a big game with a runner on....botching the early part of the play and refuse to dive. If he dives he either catches it or holds the runner closer to first and Heisey has a chance for the force at 2nd.

  That was strike 3
• Azubuike24

  

  This one is as good as over. Chapman has it.
• Azubuike24

  

  Just for good measure, he sends a little business message to McCutchen!
• SportsAndLady

  

  102 to end it
  
  Can't get a better all around pitched game than that!

  I hope there's a "reply" to that "message" tomorrow night.
• Azubuike24

  

  Might be. Probably expected. Although I don't see why he would intentionally do it, but the situation sure was perfect if you're going to drill their best player.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Great game for the Reds. Glad to see Latos with a fantastic outing after the other 4 starters just had a rough go of it.
• Firad

  

  These guys sure are fun to watch. Go Reds!

  Phillips may immediately come back to a pitch way inside tomorrow. Can't see any way that was intentional though, don't want to give them anything to get fired up about.
