haha - yeah, it's called the league knowing you are throwing fastballs 90% of the time.

But you are right, a good chunk of that should be attributable to Hamilton. To what degree... hard to know? But there is something there for sure.
Yeah maybe. I haven't looked at the Texas lineup, but I do know this...Votto and Bruce, the 2 main run producers hitting behind Hamilton most of the year, haven't exactly been tearing the cover off the ball.

Looks like the HRs knocked some sense into Cingrani, too bad it came at the expense of the lead.

Cozart singles to left center

Soto flies out to the wall in right
Re: 5/18/2014-Reds-Vs-Phillies-Rubber Game
I do believe that the Cozart funk of the first month or so is in the rear window. He's been looking much more like his normal self lately. Not tearing the cover off the ball by any means, but getting his fair share of hits. Coupled with his defense...I'll take that.
Re: 5/18/2014-Reds-Vs-Phillies-Rubber Game
Soto made contact, but it was a lazy fly ball, 1 out
Re: 5/18/2014-Reds-Vs-Phillies-Rubber Game
Nice bunt by Cingrani. Runner to 2nd
Re: 5/18/2014-Reds-Vs-Phillies-Rubber Game
MLB players aren't given the take sign nearly enough. I would have given it to Soto on both 2-0 and 3-1. I know he hit the 3-1 pitch well, but I maintain the take sign is not given nearly enough.

It was against the wall to right field. Not exactly my definition of a lazy fly ball.

Lazy fly ball? It was right at the wall.
