    He really slowed down before the non-slide, he flat out wussed it!

    If good old Vern Rapp was Reds manager, Choo would,have slid. Rapp always had a sign in the clubhouse:

    "When In Doubt... Slide."

    I'm sure that 60% success rate has gm's drooling.

    Dusty won't publicly discipline a player like that. Not how he operates.

    2 Thoughts:
    1. I wonder how many times in the history of baseball someone has stolen 2nd base immediately after taking ball four.

    2. I've mentioned before that this may be one of the worst baserunning teams in baseball history. I'd have to think it's unprecedented for one team to have 3 players get thrown out when they would have otherwise been easily safe, simply because they didn't slide.
    (Referring to Jack Hannahan signing with a Korean team)
    Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

    You can't start randomly singling guys out and benching them for a brain cramp. Plenty of guys have had moments like that during the year and no one has been pulled.

    I know it happens but I hate it when a guy is thinking about swinging at a pitch with has his hands out toward the plant and ends up being hit by a ball that's probably only a few inches inside.

    True. I love Choo, but that was as bad as it gets. I'd have taken him out.

    Well...we've seen him get on BP in that past in the dugout after bad plays. Somehow I don't think he would do that to Choo for some reason.

    Choo sneezed away that opportunity.
