Sorry but that’s not the way they do scoring. It’s the degree of difficulty.

Fast runner, slow roller, it’s going to be a hit. Official scorer won’t assume an out in that situation.

Has nothing to do with Sonny Gray’s line, it’s the correct decision.

If it was a routine grounder or a slower runner, probably it would be an error.

Moose made a regular play on the ball and still had time to get the runner with a good throw. Even if we go with your degree of difficulty, that play was not so difficult that an average fielder couldn’t get an out. The play speaks for itself.

Clearly a error. It will be changed most likely.

Nope, that’s not how it works. If they switch it it’ll be to help Gray out. That’s a base hit.

[NebraskaRed]

4 pitch walk for Votto

[Red Buckeye]

Mike Pop Up Moustakis sucks.

[NebraskaRed]

1 pitch out for Moose

I don't see what Moose offers that Geno doesn't, at this point.

[Tom Servo]

now that was a truly awful AB by Moose, tbd if his being fat had anything to do with it

Yes it is, and that is how it always has been.

We have seen countless times when a fielder makes a great play to get to a ball that should be a hit, but then makes a poor throw. That has always been an error. And that is the way it should be.

You can separate the play into many parts. If the fielder makes a mistake on any part, that’s an error.

I am so sick of Mike Moustakas.

Why are you defending a player who's been terrible with the Reds, who came to the team overweight (has nothing to do with game-shape), who swings at EVERYTHING? A player who knows a strike is Votto. Moose either has poor plate discipline, or really needs his eyes checked. Your choice.

Shut up, Jesus Christ.

[NebraskaRed]

It's a choice between two bad players, but at least Geno will occasionally get a hit

[Ironman92]

Moose didn’t make a good throw but on the other end Votto was far off first (assuming he was positioned there per scouting report/dugout and was a bit late getting to the base and his set up and momentum was going more towards the home plate side of the bag…..having to stretch the other direction he was slightly off balance and the ball got to his glove and hit glove before it hit ground.

If Votto is positioned 1 step closer to first or gets to first early enough to be balanced for a missed throw either direction….he catches that every time. Ball did not bounce to him.

Moose has to do better but with Votto’s speed/range whoever placed him there with Turner running cost Votto from being able to stretch and catch it for the out.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Mike Pop Up Moustakis sucks.

Careful, you'll get creamed saying that. He's still looking for his 70th base hit in a season and a half. It would seem your assessment is spot on.

I desperately request a moratorium on boomers being allowed to register to this board. Please Boss, I’m begging you.
