Bruce, leading off the 8th, needing to get on, swings at ball 4 on the 3-1 pitch!

The Reds seriously miss big Arthur Rhodes out of the bullpen. Granted, Country is old now, but he was a force for them for the past couple seasons.

Good thing Hanigan kicked the 2' bunt -- saved a 2-6-3 DP after Alonso's great AB for a lead-off hit!

WP gives the Reds the same thing they would have had if the bunt would have worked. But Stubbs can't make contact and gets the typical K! Leaves it to Heisey.

Win or lose...typical Dustyball overwhelms good thoughts. First inning and the entire 1st 8 hitters....not a damn one of them swung at the first pitch (100% planned by Dusty I presume to get things going....and it works....but then after wearing on the pitcher they give him a 5 pitch inning, an 11 pitch inning and back to their ways the rest of the game. It's unbelievable.

And we go to extras and maybe rain to mess up the game continuity and the fireworks.

I definitely miss not having Arthur Rhodes. Should have gotten his last year or two out of him.

Yes, and I wonder how the Phils got to Charlie Morton. I'm guessing that it was by not swinging at all those low sinkerballs!

I wish Votto would've let the GG second baseman get it.

I disagree, it was the right thing to let him go somewhere else. 5.01 ERA in 23 innings is not worth 3.9 million.

Great base running technique by Sandoval, but not sure it was worth that risk to get to 3rd with two out.

Good instincts make good decisions.

SEEMS like the Reds only win extra inning games in the 10th.

Great AB by Joey to draw the lead-off walk against that side-arming lefty!

Send BP on the first pitch, then suicide squeeze on the 2nd pitch with Bruce!
