September 3, 201412 yr I guess this is what it has come to. Bruce runs into a grand slam just to allow the Reds to show their heartbreaking capabilities in the 9th AND to further bolster their miserable 1 run game record. They didn't deserve to be where they were in the 9th (2 base error and a high chopper off the plate), but those were the same kinds of hits the Orioles were getting off Latos early. However, once you're there, you have to do something. Runner on 3B with less than 2 outs, got to get him home. Maybe the 3B coach isn't so bad after all. After seeing them strand so many guys over there, he may just figure "why not send them and get them gunned by 20 feet? If I leave them here, I'm going to have to carry their helmet & gloves to the dugout." On the bright side, bullpen looked good.
September 3, 201412 yr What it has come to is that it took until the day of Game 2 of the series to get a thread started. #waitunitilnextyear
September 4, 201412 yr Watch the top of the 8th inning with Ludwick on second ......a base hit and our favorite 3rd base coach throws up the STOP sign when the Oriole outfielder was not even going to throw home. Amazing.
September 4, 201412 yr Frazier was good early but recently he has been terrible, having bad at bats and leaving runners on everywhere.
September 4, 201412 yr What do the Reds and mcpapa in his early teen years have in common? Rarely get to third base.

September 4, 201412 yr Steve Smith is an idiot. I don't think I've ever had disdain for a 1st or 3rd base coach before him.
September 4, 201412 yr I don't think I've ever had disdain for a 1st or 3rd base coach before him. Not that it made any difference, but did you see him hold up Ludwick at 3rd last night? The LF wasn't even charging the ball. They were conceding the run to the Reds, and Smith held him up at 3rd. He is just AWFUL!!!

I lasted until 4-0 (not really sure I still watch at all) and then started watching something with the lady.

September 4, 201412 yr Author Steve Smith is an idiot. Worse yet, Thom praised him for this decision!!! BTW - it didn't look like Ludwick was actually "busting his hump" from 2B to 3B, but he did give Smith a "What the heck?" look when he turned and saw the LF was casually jogging toward the ball and hadn't even picked it up yet.
