There was a lot of head scratching on the game thread last night about the Reds’ 9-2 forceout of Freddy Galvis (along with a lot of frustration comments). Turns out it is a rare event.
Cincinnati Reds' Freddy Galvis becomes the first 9-2 forceout since 2009

Would have liked to hear what Galvis was thinking there. I mean it wasn't hit deep enough to even tag up so I don't get it. Just a misjudge by him I assume. It happens I guess..I doubt we win anyways.

I'm glad I missed last night's game and did not see that.

Turned out, it was also a helluva throw by Gamel...

“Then things got weird.
Nick Castellanos lined what appeared to be a base hit to right field. Before one could mark an RBI single on the scorecard, Gamel rifled a 90.2 mph throw home. It was his hardest tracked throw this season by Statcast, and it became his hardest-tracked putout ever when Galvis, who had held up to make sure Gamel didn’t make the catch, lost the race home. Alertly, Brewers catcher Omar Narváez stretched like a first baseman to receive the throw“

More than any other American sport, baseball creates the magnetic, addictive illusion that it can almost be understood.

I blame the third base coach. He should have been Freddy's eyes on the play.

What was David Bell arguing about? I bet he was saying, "hey I'm just going to stay out here for a minute so I look like I've got my player's back."

Go Gators!
Exactly! He was tagging up all the way. There was no hesitation, no start and stop. 3rd base coach just as responsible.

I love that quote. I've watched baseball as long as I can remember and one of the most alluring things about the sport is that even after a lifetime of watching it, you will never fully grasp it.
Two things:
1) incredibly alert play by the RFer
2) Home ump had to feel ridiculous after initially signaling safe
A combination of a bunch of things that didn't go our way.
So, you know, the story of the Reds for the past forty years (outside of one year).
I imagine him arguing is like one of those Bad Lip Reading videos but that is what he's actually saying.
