1st and 3rd, no outs, need some insurance runs.

Rolen singles on a wacky play. 7-4 Reds. Runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.

Rolen slowly creeping the average up.

First and third, one run in, one out, Cozart up, bottom four, 7-4 Reds.
2-1 count. Need a fly ball.
No problem KC, and I wasn't necessarily giving "kudos" to Cueto. I also, though, am going to cut Cueto a ton of slack, as he's been so good for so long that an occasional hiccup relative to his high standards hardly seems fair game for complaint.
Particularly when poor D pours gas on a fire. When I look at this one, I don't worry a ton about the solo homers. I do confess to some frustration with poor D from Cairo that doubled the damage.
If that's unfair, my bad.
Cozart singles to make it 8-4 Reds. First and second, one out for Miguel Cairo.
For all the metrics, measurements and quantifiers we have for baseball, as much as it sometimes makes sense putting into context, it still can be a funny game. No Votto? Go on a 13-3 tear. No Votto, No Rolen and No Ludwick in the lineup today? No Problem. Just score 8 runs already in 4 innings.
Strange game sometimes.

Terrific catch by Quentin robs Cairo of an extra base hit.
Brantley turns another routine out into what sounded like a HR call. I want to strangle him.
Well, maybe it wasn't a routine play, but he sure made it seem like it was a goner.
