Neither did I - he made a heck of a catch running that one down.

Re: 8/31/12 - Reds at Astros

Leake should have been out of the inning already. Hopefully he leaves the runners here.


haha that was easy.

Altuve grounds into a 6-4 FC. 0-0 after 2.

One might theorize that the Cards were would tightly coming into Cincinnti, believing that it was a must-sweep series.

Win or lose, that kind of pressure can lead into a letdown afterwards.

Not necessarily a SABR-endorsed theory on baseball, but it happens all the time in other sports like college football.

Re: 8/31/12 - Reds at Astros

Once Barnes got a hit, I'm actually glad Abad got one too. I'd rather get Altuve out of the way than him leading off an inning. He's the guy I most respect in this lineup.

Gio loses his no-no in the 5th to Yadi on a leadoff double.

Gotta give Molina credit for being tough - didn't think he'd be back this soon!

Still hate the guy, though!

Probably the best catcher in the majors this year, sans Buster Posey. Might even be a better overall catcher than Posey. Nonetheless, I too hate him with the fury of a thousand suns.
