Sadak is like a casual fan. Routine fly to LF by India. Casual Reds fans in the stands cheer as ball leaves the bat. Sadak gets excited.
Hard-core baseball fans don't make a sound in the stands. As they know it's just a fly out.
Reds go down 1-2-3 in the first
Did Lodolo even have time to sit down in the dugout before that inning was over?
****"BALK OFF" BASEBALL****
Friday's game ended in a "balk off" win for the Redlegs, only the 23rd time it has ever happened in modern baseball history. The only other time the Reds won in "balk off" fashion was on April 28, 1965 when Ernie Broglio of the Cubs balked in Tommy Harper of the Reds at Crosley Field. I remember it well. Actually, I'm kidding. I was 2 years old. All I remember from 1965 is getting electrocuted while trying to stick a fork in an electrical outlet. It burnt like hell and I cried and cried. Probably what Broglio felt like doing after balking home Harper for the winning freebie.
Broglio, sorry. Had Biggio on my brain.

“It’s the mathematical potential for a single game to last forever, in a suspended world where no clock rules the day, that aligns baseball as much with the dead as the living.”

"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
These teams are in a hurry to start their off day tomorrow.
