Live by the run game, die by the run game.

It is possible to be a good baserunning team that does not do that kind of nonsense so consistently.

[KeefeCato]

I don't like strike outs. But if you are going to strikeout at least go down swinging.
So tired of backwards Ks.

Good play by Senzel.

Nice quickness by Green, but take the time to square up for the throw.

[Ron Madden]

Won't make the playoffs with dumb plays like that.I like Marte but Jesus.

Aggressive base running is one reason the Reds are tied for a wild card spot. If you're gonna be aggressive on the base paths you're gonna have to live with some outs on the base paths.

Is that what the backwards K means? I honestly never thought of that until you said something.

[Mutaman]

Pretty clear that nobody bothered to advise Marte that Peterson has a good move to first.

You can be aggressive without being stupid.

Yes if the batter strikes out looking it's considered a backwards K. If you're scoring the game you actually make a backwards K. In the scorebook.

Bottom 2

Pete Alonso grounds out, third baseman Nick Senzel to first baseman Spencer Steer. 1 out

Jeff McNeil grounds out softly, pitcher Hunter Greene to first baseman Spencer Steer. 2 outs

Ronny Mauricio flies out to right fielder Hunter Renfroe. 3 outs

[coryfly]

To me, losing outs on the basepaths is getting thrown out stealing, which is fine. Getting picked off or just making dumb plays on the basepaths seem like different things to me.

Very interesting! Thank you for the heads up! All these freaking years lol.

Top 3

Harrison Bader grounds out to pitcher David Peterson. 1 out

Luke Maile called out on strikes. 2 outs

Jonathan India strikes out swinging. 3 outs

That inning was gross.

Relative to his MLB peers, this SP is quite bad. A serious contender should score at least a couple of runs off of this guy.

[TheBigLebowski]

Hunter looks sharp tonight.
