Nice DP to escape the 6th

[Mutaman]

Nice pouty turn by that secondbaseman

I need George Carlin to explain the 7 words.

You might be waiting awhile on this one.

[HometownHero]

Valdez screwed us there

[BPhil4]

Phillips is lazy. He could have made that play faster.


Nice dp, and it was needed.

"pouty", that's a new one. Personally I don't care if guys don't "hustle" 24/7 162 games a year, as long as they hit 280-290, play golden glove defense, step it up big time when the mvp goes down, and bat wherever the manager tells them to.

Yes...pouty, he put his head down after being embarrassed by his swing and never at any point hustled....not like he sulked for a second and then realized the ball got away and took off to first...he pouted for 8 steps to first.

Of course all the things you mentioned are the big picture but the 24/7 stuff is silly....he does that every time he's unhappy with his swing UNLESS it's to beat out a bang bang DP potential play or to beat out a hit to 3rd on a crapper swinging bunt.

Great player....helping the Reds win greatly.

[Mutaman]

Great player....helping the Reds win greatly.

Bottom line.

Phillips is lazy. He could have made that play faster.

Never said he was lazy.

[texasdave]

Pitcher's mound power.

[Ironman92]

Bottom line.

I enjoy all the lines above the bottom as well....they have meaning as well.

[50YrRedsFan]

How are we even letting Volstad stay in this game?

[texasdave]

You get Cowboy away from Marty and his nose gets brown in a hurry.

[BPhil4]

Billy Hamilton wouldn't have made it to first on the swing and miss by Phillips. So why's it matter. Hustling there gains nothing...

[Ironman92]

Teh Cubs still suck so all is well.

[Mutaman]

Guess we need 3 innings of good pitching and defense. I hate blowing 3 run leads.
