That's a play that isn't made when BP is out with his calf troubles. A lot of those balls got through that wouldn't have normally made it through.

Frazier pops out to 2nd.
Valdez flies out to center.

Hanigan doubles off the wall in right.
We need to get these doubles all in the SAME inning....

Their run expectancy increased by .3 with a runner at third and one out as opposed to a runner at second and one out. Granted, there's always the chance Stubbs could have reached base, but given his low OBP and propensity to strikeout, I would say that's statistically the correct call.

Cozart flies out to right. 0-0 after 4.
Through 4: Mets have left 6 runners on base, Reds have left 7 runners on base.
This is a LOB fest for the Reds. I didn't love the bunt, but the team has had many chances to score. Including man on third less than two outs when Phillips and Ludwick left the man on.
Key is for Latos to hold the fort, Reds will break through.
P.S. guess it is a LOB fest for the Mets too. But that's not my prob.
