Why again is Ross our best option at catcher?Originally Posted by Reds Fanatic
K, PB, missed tag. Or something like that.

Bruce robbed of an assist. Dunn gets a chance on the next pitch and whatta ya know...Ross catches the throw (he just couldn't get the tag)

It was a WP (deservably so).And the missed tag was simply a bad throw.
If Bako could hit a bit....
But it's really a day after anight game thing...
To his defense, the ball hit the batter in the leg and bounced away after he swung and missed. He really didn't have much of a chance on that tag either.
But still, the circus music needs to be cued...
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
A lot of people want Ross over Bako beacuse of offense....I vote for defense at catcher any time. If you cannot get offense fro the other 7 spots....well then you are not very good anyways.
Helms flies out to right. 1-1 after 3.
Here's the thing. Would you start a runner with Phillips batting?

Votto strikes out swinging. 1 out.
Votto does not look comfortable up there against Tucker. This kid has some real electric stuff. If he can keep his command reigned in, he's got a good chance to stick.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Encarnacion fouls out to 1st. 2 outs.
That's 2 of the worst looking K's I've seen Votto have all year.
Ross flies out to Ross. 1-1 mid 4th.
Votto and the ball have been having a bit of a cooling off period this last month in general....
