Washington Nationals (Ross Detwiler) at Cincinnati Reds (Mike Leake) - Game 5

• Midstate01

  

  I wish votto would drive a ball there. Instead of looking to go the other way. Now it's up to Phillips since Bruce is on deck to strike out.

  Another inning ending dp. Awful job there.
• mhs95_06

  Classic failure by the 3/4 hitters ends the inning just 2 batters after the classic 1/2 set-up.

  A bad job is what happened, and a mediocre job would be a tie game.
• mhs95_06

  I don't think I've ever seen that one before! Sending the runner from 3rd back to 1st after an apparent SB and E-2, saying the bat hit the catcher on the swing and a miss at the pitch.

  Why is Leake throwing anything near the plate on 3-2 pitch with the pitcher coming up next?!?
• Terry_Tate

  

  Walks the pitcher. Smh. Leake is done.
• Midstate01

  

  And that's the ball game. Terrible decision there
  
  
  You gotta pull leake here
• mhs95_06

  Ouch, a 2 out 2 run HR. A case of being too careful on the #7 hitter with 2 out, and the #8 hitter until you go to 3-2, may as well give him a walk and see if they pinch hit up 2-1.
• Midstate01

  

  #8 hitters destroy reds pitching
• Terry_Tate

  

  Reds won't even score 4 combined today and tomorrow. Pathetic.

  3 is a stretch
• Terry_Tate

  

  I don't know why, but every time I see Tyler Clippard pitch I want to punch him in the face.

  Come on Paul!

  Why was Leake throwing anything close to 4 balls on the #7 hitter with 2 out and none on?

  Only reason they've 3 instead of 1 is Desmond's defense!
• mhs95_06

  Choo hits a rally killing HR - too early for the long hit!
• se-alum

  

  Votto misses tying the game by 2ft, but he got a triple out of it.
• se-alum

  

  Wild pitch! Tie game!
• mhs95_06

  Good job by Votto to get to 3rd on that one out drive off the wall, and it pays off with a WP run to tie it at 5-5.
• mhs95_06

  Will Dusty use Chapman in the 10th?
• Midstate01

  

  Seemed like votto took forever to get home on that WP. I thought he was gonna be out.
  What a comeback

  Joseph Votto is good at baseball.

  LOL...I was watching the plate like, "where the hell is he?"!
  
  Chapman strikes out the side, using that nasty slider today.
