And a horrible AB from Votto. Man...
Rounding third and heading for home...
That's frustrating.
Votto was pressing in that AB. He hit a pitcher's pitch into the ground.
Clearly we need Izturis hitting 3rd.
Homer's got an old-school bend in his lid tonight.

Plays like that is when I miss Scotty over there...don't take that as a knock on Frazier either.
Two quick Dusty-related things:
1. I don't care that he got a hit, batting Izturis second is Dusty Being Dusty. Textbook. Why wouldn't you want the worst hitter on your team batting in the 2 hole? (Nightmares of the Paul Janish days.)
2. Where are all the people who said last night that you can't (or shouldn't) use your backup catcher as the DH? Obviously, Dusty quickly learned that Mesoraco was his best option as the DH. I don't know how this wasn't crystal clear from the get. Hannahan over Mesoraco as a hitter? OK. I know it was "just one game" but bottom line is it wasn't an intelligent baseball move. Only Dusty would use a defensive specialist/noted bad hitter as a DH.
Really crossed up Hanigan there. Haven't seen much of that lately.
