Really didn't think it was that difficult to see that was going to drop.

[kaldaniels]

Lefty warming in the pen for.....

[BluegrassRedleg]

This team routinely comes out of this situation with 0 or 1. Can't happen today. Make it hurt, Redlegs.

[Reds Fanatic]

2-0 count on Bruce and they are bringing in the lefty Cotts

[kaldaniels]

Dusty is confused.

[dubc47834]

I like this move by Washington, I don't think Dusty would do that!

The ongoing criticism of Stubbs defense by me and a few others was that he pulls up and plays it safe on balls that he can catch. Many, who can't seem to read, were up in arms because they misconstrued that to mean we wanted him to leave his feet and risk the ball rolling to the wall for extra bases and it was never the point. When the ball is still fifteen feet in the air, taking another step or two to make the catch wouldn't hurt. Drew pulled up and played those on the bounce quite a bit IMO.

Most over-rated defensive player I've ever seen. He was good covering gap to gap and that's flashy seeing him chewing up ground, but he gave it all back and then some on plays in front of him and to some extent balls over his head, though lots of guys have trouble with those. His trouble going back caused him to play way too deep, IMO, which magnified his issues on balls in front of him.

I associated your citing Redszone wanting Stubbs to dive with that whole scenario.

No...again, I've only been reading RZ for a few weeks. I was on the SunDeck last year but don't know much of anyone or how they post other than texasdave and NYReds.

Thanks for explaining and I simply could not agree more.

[RedTeamGo!]

Fantastic move by Washington. There is no way in hell Dusty would have done that.
