Taveras just put up one of the worst outfield reads I've ever seen. That's about as bad, if not worse, than what I saw with Wily Mo Pena.

Arroyo should flip off his center fielder for that pathetic of a play. Goodness.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
I hear Chris Dickerson is pretty good at defense in CF...
Taveras is just brutal.

It is substantially against the odds. If you start doing it, you will be burned way more than you will pitching to him. Pujols is hitting .152 based on XBH. Ludwick is hitting .254. Ludwick has a 67% better chance of scoring the runner. Plus Ludwick is hitting with another guy on base, better chance for a big inning.
Carlos Fisher getting some work.
Willy is fast, very fast
Fisher in to pitch.
Runner goes to 3rd on a wild pitch.
Not good execution by some of these players tonight
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
So, everybody piles on Taveras, but nobody mentions the missed cutoff man by Bruce?
Don't get me wrong, it was a HORRIBLE play by Willy and he's been in a pitiful funk, but prior to the San Diego series...he was flat out solid IMO. Sometimes it seems like people have been waiting for the opportunity to jump on him....eagerly.
Taveras misplayed it, but one run was scoring anyway. Misplay cost the Reds a run.
Problem with this game is that the Reds lineup is so weak that they couldn't dispense with this Thompson guy and only have two runs. Unfortunate double play by Arroyo with bags full hurt. I don't know how many games they can win with Gonzo, Rosales, Hanigan, and pitcher at the bottom of the lineup, followed by Taveras who isn't hitting at all.
Ryan strikes out swinging. 2 outs.
*sigh* Wild pitch #2 from Carlos. 5-2 Cards.
A wild pitch that bounces off Hanigan scores another run. 5-2 Cards. What a nightmare inning.
This team tonight is looking like the crap of the past 8 years.
