Totally off-topic, but are there rules that dictate how far the foul ground has to extend beyond home plate? Example in that picture... If you drew a straight line perpendicular with the bottom of the grass just below the "P", you could carve out a nice little niche of prime ($$$) seating.

Brutus
06-17-2014, 08:43 PM
You know what's exciting is the longer he continues exhibiting the power, the more the walks will come which will improve the OBP. Heck, Cumpton's walking to Hamilton was clearly due to his earlier success. If Hamilton keeps his slugging as-is, the average should stay above .280 which would eventually put his OBP between .335-.350.

Hamilton is still a work in progress, but he's definitely no liability.

I wish he'd be more careful. With the Reds' luck this season, he'd wind up with some sort of deep thigh bruise that sidelines him for 3 weeks.

Yep. We've had bad quad luck this season.

Tough call in the top of the 6th there. Bullpen is shaky and worn out but I would have hit for Cueto and not overworked him in a June game.

I also would consider his high pitch counts earlier this year and the stress he was under all night. Really worry about Cueto as we hit July and August.
