The two biggest plays of this whole series may end up being Reds runners thrown out at 3rd by Posey.

Sandoval pops out to short. 5 pitch inning. 6-3 Giants mid 7th
Marshall doesn't waste time, does he?

The reds barely run all season, but decide to start against Buster Posey, in the playoffs? Being a reds fan my whole life has been painful.

It is of the all time DUMBEST calls EVER. Its a 3 run game Dusty absolute best case scenario and Hanigan rips a double somewhere you have a runner on 2nd and a 6-5 game. It doesn't make sense in that case to run there. None, zero, zilch, nada anyone who defends that big bonehead decisions needs their heads examined. When they ran on the fouled off pitch my exact reaction was "wtf are you trying to do? Run us out of what maybe the LAST opportunity to come back?" Needless to say... I hate being proved right.
Absolutely stupidity on display with that one.
