Worried about runner stealing signals and gives up a 700 ft HR
Bauer seems intent on throwing right down the middle.
It seems Bauer throwing the ball over the CF wall after being pulled from his last start with the Indians, was a sign the Reds should have payed more attention to.

My opinions on the 1999 uniforms:
Caps: OK. The black cap was very popular in 1999 and the early 2000's. Actually, the black cap was intended to be the road cap, and the current road cap (red w/black bill) was the home cap in 1999. (The current home cap was the alternate cap, which was worn about three times from 1999 through 2007.) But the players liked the black cap and sleeves with the home jersey, so they often wore it -- especially toward the end of the season. The Reds lose major points for wearing all-red helmets today. Either red w/black bill or black w/red bill should have been the order of the day.
Jerseys: OK to good. The Reds made some changes in the uniform from 1998 to 1999. The home jerseys were still sleeveless vests with pinstripes but they incorporated black trim around the numbers. Actually, I thought it was an improvement over the 1993-98 jersey. The home jersey was intended to be worn with red undersleeves, and for part of the season they were, but the black sleeves became more popular as the season wore on.
Pants: OK. Again, a slight improvement over the 1993-98 iteration.
Socks: This uniform always looked better when the players showed a lot of red stocking, even when they were wearing black sleeves.
Overall: These uniforms were not not as bad as the reputation they now have, but they weren't great, or even particularly good. The black in the uniform (especially when black is not a team color) was definitely a late 90's/early 00's fad throughout sports. They would have looked better with red sleeves and all red caps. (The road uniform from the period also would have looked better with red sleeves -- a look the the Reds never once wore in the nine years they had these uniforms.)
