The thing that perplexes me is that it is obvious the ball first the ground in foul territory. Shouldn't that had made the play dead?
Did you see the Reds score 7 in the top of the 9th to beat Cleveland 7-4 last night??
No. Had to hurt. But at least it wasn't by a single run. Houston has been winning by every imaginable way. It's the one team I despise (even more than the Sawx.)
I can't watch any highlights after a bad Yankee loss. Like last night to the pathetic O's.
Cleveland's starting rotation is very good the pen sux and needs to be upgraded if they plan to go anywhere in the playoffs.
Reds started the season horribly 3-18 and fired the head coach, they have turned it around since they hired Riggleman as the interim manager. They are about 10-12 games over .500 since he took over. They have a lot of young players some of them are excelling at the plate and the starters are slowly learning what it means to be a major league pitcher. They could be a playoff contending team next year if things go right and they bolster the pen during the winter. Am planning to attend a late season game or 2 when the weather cools off and they call up some of the minor league players, Nick Senzel being one of them. But if they trade Scooter Gennett before the trade deadline for a starter I will get a chance to see him sooner since he will be Gennett's replacement. Right now they are losing 11-0 and look like a "A" team even though they beat Cleveland the last 2 nights, typical young team good one night sux the next.
It appears Cleveland is getting some revenge. They are up 17-0 in the 4th.
It ended up being 19-4 and doesn't surprise me cause every team gets blown out a couple of times a year. The Reds young pitching staff caused this to happen but that's all part of the learning process. Go home drink a beer or 2 go to sleep and wake up refreshed and have no recollection of what happened last night other than what pitches you don't want to throw again. lol A short memory is key to the learning process, dwelling on how embarrassed you feel will only hold you back.

Well the mind does gather cobwebs over the years, so I'll recall this the best I can.
I remember a game in 1989 when the Reds scored 16 runs in the first inning against the Astros. The Astros were in strong contention at the time. The Reds batted around twice and then some, and the only batter the pitcher could out get was the Reds pitcher. Even he got a hit the second time around.
The pitcher (I don't recall who it was) didn't seem to be throwing bad pitches, but the batters were hitting everything "where they ain't."
It didn't matter. The Astros faded badly down the stretch as they always did at that time.
