Wow, go Jay on that triple!!! :D
Re: 5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Ahoy Mateys!)
Darn. Gomes pops it up into shallow center. Bruce has to hold. It's up to Razor to drive in Jay.
Re: 5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Ahoy Mateys!)
Way NOT to go Gomes on that 175 foot pop up!

Oh no, not like that. It's just how Mike goes about with the art of pitching. He doesn't mess around out there with that nibbling crap and that's something Cueto needs to do better. He should just trust his stuff and go after the hitters and I think that's what he can pick up from watching Mike Leake. I'm sure our coaches are working with him too, LOL :p:

No kidding. And yes, Evan Turner IS a beast.

The rule is, IIRC from umpiring days, two bases from where the runner is at the time of the throw, not where he is when the ball goes out of play.

RAMON! Clutch with the run scoring double! Nice. He's hearing Ryan's footsteps and he's fighting for his starting spot. *grin* 3-0 Redlegs!

Nix was beyond second base when that throw was made (they showed it in slow mo on Baseball Tonight last night) so if the umpires had followed that rule, Nix should have been awarded home.

Bruce has 3 triples on the year. The HRs may not be up to expectations but he's still slugging just fine.

Really? I thought it was when the ball goes out of play. Well, me never being an ump...I'll take your more informed word on it. Thanks for the info.

Not too shabby .297 AVG w/ a .791 OPS.
I'm with Dusty on this. Play the both of them and let each other rest. Both struggled last year when Votto went down and each had to play every day.

Cueto pops out in foul ground to end the inning. But we play a bit of add-on...3-0 good guys after 5 1/2.
