[Burger Beer]

Jennings helped off the field after fielding a comebacker and chasing BHam in a rundown.

That seems to happen to Billy an awful lot.

It's actually not a bad play as it increases the chances that they will make an error and everyone will be safe. Billy usually stays in the rundown long enough for the batter to get to second.

The reason he does it to ensure he scores if the ball goes through. He wouldn't if he held up.

Peraza flies out to deep LF to end the 8th. 1-1

I agree with the aggressive strategy. Just seems that it doesn't pay off enough. Credit the defense.

[cumberlandreds]

Hamilton stays in. Scheb double switched out.

Hamilton scores every time on a grounder through the infield. He often takes off before he knows the grounder has gone past the 3B or SS. In each of those situations, the strategy pays off.

So today the pitcher did the smart thing to run at him and cut him off to shorten the hotbox so the batter couldn't make it to 2nd, but the injury foiled that and the batter made it to 2nd?

Bottom of the 10th......1-1

GO REDS

Hamilton extended the pickle to get the batter to second. The injury appeared to happen as the pitcher was getting out of the way after he tossed the ball.

Makes up for the base running mistake

[Burger Beer]

Billy rips a shot right at the 1st baseman. Headed to the top of the 11th.

I didn't see it; so he had him cut off, but made the common mistake of not getting him on one throw by throwing it too early, allowing him Billy to reverse course and extend it and allow the batter to get to 2nd? Was the P chasing Billy to 2nd or 3rd? Either way Billy chose to go he should have been able to get him with the right timing on the first throw, and keep the batter at 1st.
