That isn't a small lapse, that is crap you learn in little league. Gave away a sure out as the slow catcher would have been out by a mile.

It's nice to see Diamond pitching well again after a a rough couple of starts.
Sure would be nice to get a couple more runs and give Diamond/pen a little breathing room.
The Reds' announcers attributed the lapse to a lack of familiarity with National League baserunning strategy.Quote:

C'mon Scotty! Help your own cause. Crank one outta here! (Hey, a guy can dream).
Are we absolutely sure it was Dozier who was supposed to cover 2nd there?
Diamond can help himself with a home run here.Quote:

Apparently they haven't heard stolen bases have been legal in the AL for a couple years now.Quote:

Hell of an attempt by Dozier.
What about the world series :)Quote:

In other words, wow.
Votto: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
In hindsight, I wish that this prediction had been correct.Quote:
