Votto rung up after beginning his trot to first. Gameday's got it as a strike FWIW.

looked like a bad call but dang Joey
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
Joey has to swing the bat there....I don't think that was a very smart AB with 2 outs.
That ball was CLEARLY inside!
Votto got robbed.
THIS FREAKIN' GAME TONIGHT
As much as the Reds?Originally Posted by Blitz Dorsey
Well obviously nobody.
But do the Reds not play an opponent every night?
I would say on aggregate, that the opposition makes an equal, or higher number of dumb plays on an average night.
I obviously have no way of proving this. But from a high level thought, no, I don't think the Reds are losing a significant amount of games because they have less intelligence than the opposition.
This so far has been the worst game a Reds fan could attend.....but it's still not over.
Floating strike zone, but Joey's more valuable swinging the bat in that situation than taking a walk.
Yes that was a very impressive infield single. I thought for a second it was leaving the yard. - texasdave 10/13/12

It was a strike, there is a situation where walking is not the optimal result.
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.

I disagree. In the spirit of Anchorman 2, we'll agree to disagree.
When in Rome!?
In that situation I want Votto trying to put one in the seats, not looking for a walk. I know those pitches were borderline, but you can't take them in that situation.

Last Friday and Sunday were...ah...pretty bad too.

Parra is done. LeCure coming in.
I really hope Dusty said something to Votto after that AB...I seriously doubt it though.
Was not a strike. Same pitch was called a ball on Cingrani 2x.
So, either it wasn't a strike, or the ump has a floating zone. Either way, bad job.
Which Reds players may I ask have "low baseball IQ's" besides Xavier Paul (whom I might add, have I never ever heard any criticize him before for making an inordinate amount of low baseball IQ plays before tonight).
