Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
Not looking good in this one. Ball roll between Bruce's legs in corner. Bruce miss cutoff last inning.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
I'd say the pitching is a little more to blame than Bruce in this one.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
I know, you are right. Just atypical of what we have come to expect. Can't win em all...

He did. He ran sideways with the ball for a few strides and the ball sailed over his glove by about a foot. Having a rough night in the field.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
Cubs stealing bases when up by 5. Hopefully Dusty makes a mental note to pour it on them the next time we have the chance.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
I didn't think Bruce took a bad route to that ball, but it seemed like a ball he would have caught in 2010.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
Yeah, watch it again. No worries. It was a drive that I thought he had, IMO, but it's a tough play.

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
8-2 to the bottom of 6, for those wondering. Not looking so good.

The biggest lie in baseball: "Striking out the side."

Re: 8/18 Game Deux - Reds at Cubs
Cubs are trying to equalize things. Maybe they feel sorry for the Reds? LOL
