Cozart Votto Rolen. Sounds like the start of a hit parade to me.

Easier to split up the lefties if there are only two on the team!

Re: Reds @ Cards 4/17/12

Is it just me or has Rolen been late on every fastball this year?

Let me try to be civil with you and explain why it was a bad play.

Stubbs on first, no outs. Hanigan singles to right, Stubbs has to break stride to make sure the ball lands. When it does and he builds up speed again, Beltran has the ball and is getting ready to throw to 3rd. Beltran has a good arm and it was risky to try that, regardless of the circumstances. Now, although I agree Stubbs was clearly safe, there was no benefit to trying to take 3rd there. Here's why.

He takes 2nd and stays, you have 1st and 2nd with no out for your pitcher. Cueto is obviously going to bunt. If he does so successfully, you have BP up with one out and 2 runners in scoring position. EVEN if Stubbs is correctly called safe at third, even though Dusty is unpredictable, chances are he's still got Cueto bunting, as he is awful with the stick, even for a pitcher. So, if Cueto gets down a decent bunt, we're still probably looking at 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.

There was no legitimate benefit to taking that risk and it cost us at least one run.

I hope this makes more sense to you now.

I'm not one to complain about the officiating, but this is rediculous!
