Braves @ Reds Game 1

• mhs95_06

  Is it legal for this Walden to jump forward off the rubber like that?

  LOL how does Votto not score there?

  This Reds offense is just so hard to watch. Seems like they never get a clutch hit.

  LOL...how does the 3rd base umpire miss the trap call. Pisses me off that umpires aren't held accountable for being terrible.
• Midstate01

  

  Wouldnt have changed outcome but braves got 2 big breaks on bad calls tonight.
• mhs95_06

  X with a great AB and his getting on to lead-off the inning was foiled by an umps call that could easily be overturned by replay.
• se-alum

  

  Well that would've been a run for the Reds.
• Ironman92

  

  Hard to bitch when they've given up 2 shots to the SS and a monster shot to a fast bench player.

  I wouldn't call that terrible. That is hard to tell at live speed only seeing it once!
• mhs95_06

  Braves prevail in starter vs. starter by 2 runs and by one run in the contest between bullpens.

  Looked more like a trap live than it did a catch.

  Definitely a trap.
  
  Then again, Cozart with a piss poor AB and Votto K'ed. Would've been up to Phillips with the bases loaded and 2 outs...not sure the outcome would've been much different.
  
  Frustrating game to watch because despite the Reds having the tying run up 4 different times, you never felt they had a chance.

  I thought I saw this when it first happened, but the Reds announcers didn't talk about it when they came back from break. Simmons tagged Choo between his legs on that pick off play.

  Except he didn't actually tag him.
