    Was it just me or did the umpire seem to have somewhere else to be when he rung up Winker?

    Lorenzen sure but he has been off even before you could say he was overused.
    75 innings and multiple 6 out saves is a lot of work for a guy in a meaningless season. never saw the point of it.

    Fans complained when Price ever tried to use anyone other than Lorenzen and Iglesias in late innings.

    Fans complain that Price used them too much....

    Just watched the replay and if it touched the strike zone, it was only a "silly little millimeter." [most will not be old enough to get that reference]

    Good to we are experiencing the worst era in Reds baseball since WWII. I guess this is just payback since I was able to enjoy their best era in the 70's.

    I have a scoring question. On the wacky play, in the box score Billy was credited with a steal of 2B and then a CS at home. How could that be?

    No, he was originally credited with a SB of 2nd, and then advance to 3rd and home on the E. It was then changed to a CS of 2nd on the rundown, then a three-base error allowing him to score.

    I was looking at this box score which makes no sense.

    http://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=370924117


    The explanation you give makes more sense. Although run downs should result in an out. I am not sure how a scorer can presume it should have. If Hamilton had been picked off and made it to second ahead of the throw, it would have been a SB. Suppose they had made several throws and he had safely reached second, would that have been a SB? I think he would have. I think because the throw to the pitcher was wide, Hamilton was assumed to be caught stealing. I am grappling with the logic.
