The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
Single to Bruce, man on second. He's being waved around but he's looking at Bruce and not the 3rd base coach. Just freezes in his tracks like a deer in headlights. Hung the batter out to dry after rounding 1st. Snap throw to 1st gets behind Navarro and he's out in a rundown...all the while, Valbuena (at third) is still just standing there. :O)
It looked like Jay was in his throwing motion as the runner got to third. He would have been out at home by a mile. The ball was back in the infield before the batter reached first base.
Back to back singles (BPhil & Votto) after Choo flied out.
Btw...today's game is the free game on MLB.tv for those interested.
Frazier hitting over .400 against Wood lifetime, which explains why Todd was moved up to the fifth slot today. I'd still rather have Ludwick fifth most of the time.

Bruce K's, Todd grounds out to third to strand 2. 0-0 after 1.
I hope the coaches realize that Todd's ground ball percentage is up ten points from last season. It could easily be a mechanical thing in his swing. If he could elevate some of these hard hit grounders, he'd be more effective.
Votto's error has been removed. Double.
Cookie.
Sweeney's first hit against Arroyo
I walk away for 2 batters. Can't you guys hold down the fort for 2 minutes?!? *sigh*
1-0 Cubs.
23 homers allowed by Arroyo. His stubborn refusal to walk guys helps Bronson a lot, seems like many are solo shots.
