Re: 5/13/12 - Reds vs Nationals
I rag on Dusty all of the time, but tonight he brought his closer in to the game down 1 run. Maybe he was just getting work in and maybe it wouldn't have mattered, but I liked knowing that Dusty was still acting like the victory was possible.

Re: 5/13/12 - Reds vs Nationals
That was awesome. As someone else posted, sometimes it is this kind of crazy game that wakes a team up.

Re: 5/13/12 - Reds vs Nationals
Stubbs and Heisey walking were less probable than a walkoff slam by Votto. Gotta tip my hat to those wild swingers.

Re: 5/13/12 - Reds vs Nationals
Considering how much Votto values family, the fact that this game happened on Mother's Day has to be extra special for him.

They are 17-16, 2.5 games out of first. Fans who declare a loss well before a loss occurs don't deserve to celebrate a walk off grand slam. I hope that when Votto hit his grand slam you buried your head in shame. Because you certainly didn't deserve the right to cheer. |

Re: 5/13/12 - Reds vs Nationals
According to Elias, Votto is the first player in MLB history to hit three homers in the same game in which one of them was a walk off Grand Slam.

Re: 5/13/12 - Reds vs Nationals
If you go to reds.com and watch the "Must C: Clutch" clips, Marty's call is at the end of the segment. Not sure if this link works...

Also like the pre-emptive protective covering of the head when he crosses the plate.
