Abad with an infield hit. 1st adn 2nd.
Dang - I didn't realize it on the mound but Abad is a big fella!
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve!
Leake should have been out of the inning already. Hopefully he leaves the runners here.
haha that was easy.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Altuve grounds into a 6-4 FC. 0-0 after 2.

Not necessarily a SABR-endorsed theory on baseball, but it happens all the time in other sports like college football.
Once Barnes got a hit, I'm actually glad Abad got one too. I'd rather get Altuve out of the way than him leading off an inning. He's the guy I most respect in this lineup.
