1 out to go..come on CoCo!

That's a ball???

Please don't let this guy on base...

one more pitch..

This guy isn't very good. He has gotten fastball after fastball and been late.

Cripes!

And this one belongs to the Reds!! 6-5 Final

Ball game!!

Whooohooo

Crazy win!

Great start to the week!

With Cueto only being able to go 5 tonight a win is an awesome thing. Lincoln wasn't awful, and Cordero has been awesome to start the year.

I wonder what the attendance was tonight. It looked like there was only about a couple hundred people in the stadium by the time the game was over. lol

^^27

great win

For the record, I'm gonna say that the whole Masset-Votto play at first was Masset's fault. It looked like he was looking to second for the double play but Votto was ready to toss it to him. Votto didn't throw it to Masset cuz Masset wasn't looking for the ball. That's my take on it.

That is classic PFP right there. Someone, typically the catcher, needs to be communicating on where to go with the ball. He is the only one who has the big pitcher and can see what is going on.

JV looked to second first. As for not tossing because Massett wasnt looking....I dont buy it. I think JV didnt toss it because after he made his gaffe he didnt think the guy would be out (would been very close). the pitcher at some point isnt always looking. JV needs to toss the ball where it can be caught and it is the pitchers reponsibility to catch it. Just like a catcher throws to second on a steal whether the guy is wating for it or not..he has to trust the guy will be there.

I wasnt on the field so I dont know what communications were made. The ball wasnt hit that hard and that woulda been a difficult play to get the guy at second because of the angle and where he fielded it

Definitely a heads up play by Votto. I watched the replay like 4 times, Masset is looking to 2nd the whole way, not to Votto. Why would Votto throw it anyways, despite Masset not looking? If he does, game over, Marlins win. Because he didn't throw it, the Reds survived the inning. No way Masset catches that ball if Votto tossed it, he never even glanced at Votto.

I saw that too. I think he let up a little when he thought Votto was going to 2nd with the ball. He definitely is expecting the ball from the Shortstop...Wasn't even looking at Votto.
