June 9, 200719 yr And the Reds struggle against bad left handers. I just can't see them beating the Tribe on Sunday, although having Harang go does give us a bit of a chance. :thumb: :thumb: Should be a dandy and hopefully still be able to be rooting on that win streak. I'm going to look at some splits for tonights game and see how it looks on paper.
June 9, 200719 yr We were wondering what the heck Nixon was doing by tagging on that with 0 outs. Instead of a man on second with one out, they had nobody on with 2 outs. Bonehead baserunning mistake but a really good defensive play. The guy at home would've been safe anyway. Yes, very stupid baserunning on their part, and there's no question the guy was going to be safe at home if the throw went through. As for the double play. I'm not sure what Narron was complaining about. He came back the proper way. I don't know what the 1st base umpire would be calling on that. My only thought was that the second base umpire was in the 'line of fire' when Gonzalez turned to throw. He didn't try to kneel or move at all, he just stood there. The only thing is that he never once gestured toward the second base ump. Not sure if 1st base was the crew chief or what. BP should've been yelling ONE! I guess that's one play we'll never know what really happened. Gonzalez appeared to turn and start to throw and then just gave up, almost like no-one was there to throw it to. Conine was there, but maybe your right in the fact that the ump was in his line of fire and that's why he held up.

I thought thats what they said happened on tv yesterday but not positive. It seems to happen to him quite often so it wouldnt suprise me.

June 9, 200719 yr Sowers just shouldn't be on the roster right now, well on his way to giving up another 5-6 runs. He needs a stint in AAA to get back some confidence.
June 10, 200719 yr What a job by Belisle, based loaded, no one out and the meat of the order coming up. Just awesome. Would Dunn's throw been as close and on target as Hopper's?? :lol:
June 10, 200719 yr E-5 with a 2 out RBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can tell the difference in his swing its beautiful when its like that.
