July 4, 201016 yr Bruce has got to put the ball in play in that situation This is exactly why I don't think the Reds have what it takes to go deep in the playoffs if they're fortunate enough to make it there. The little things like just putting the ball in play in there to tack on an extra run is what will kill this team. Other than that, great job by Ramon coming up huge there with that triple. They needed a boost of confidence or some type of spark.

July 4, 201016 yr 3-2 Good Guys. Votto being tossed has really hurt so far.... I'd feel better if he had kept his head and stayed in the game. I like Janish, but I'd rather have Joseph in there.
July 4, 201016 yr You're not going to be able to execute everytime in that situation but that's two days in a row for Bruce We've popped up to the infield and struck out more times with a man on 3rd with less than 2 outs more often than we we've made good contact to the right side. I've been saying it all year long.

July 4, 201016 yr Yet they still lead the league in offense I don't care if they're in first or last in offense. If you don't execute in the simple situations, you're not going to win the important games.
July 4, 201016 yr I don't care if they're in first or last in offense. If you don't execute in the simple situations, you're not going to win the important games. While I agree you have to do the small things, it's dumb if you don't think it matters if they're in first or last. Bruce should put the ball in play, but it's 2 ABs out of a ton of them, so it's not that big of a sample size and is going to happen
July 4, 201016 yr Votto is really hurting the Reds today... HR Janish 5-2 Good Guys Hopefully, the Reds hang on and win this one. Still, throwing a tantrum was a very poor decision by Joey. There's no getting around that.

I said I've been saying it all year, I didn't mention it because I thought it was the first time. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
July 4, 201016 yr Wow, does anyone read whole posts? I said I've been saying it all year, I didn't mention it because I thought it was the first time. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. They wouldn't be one of then top offenses in baseball if it happened all the time
July 4, 201016 yr Hopefully, the Reds hang on and win this one. Still, throwing a tantrum was a very poor decision by Joey. There's no getting around that. Emotions get the best of every player from time to time. Much ado about nothing...
July 4, 201016 yr They wouldn't be one of then top offenses in baseball if it happened all the time Because they don't execute with runners on 3rd less than 2 outs? Yes they absolutely can be, because they are. They stink in that situation. Doesn't mean they can't lead the NL in BA and HR's in a hitter's ball park.
