Today he let the tying run, in Walker, get to 2nd by not giving his best attention to his hit to left after the big out stealing the play before. Earlier in the week he had some less than stellar plays throwing the wrong place, over throwing the cut-off, and not trying to catch a ball he should have tried for and probably got. I think he didn't try for it since he was sensitive to making bad plays earlier he didn't want to chance it.
His jumps are excellent....got his pocket picked and that should never happen in that 9th inning situation.
The Reds have been getting the calls of great importance the last few games.
The check swing called strike 3 on Bruce wax atrocious. That effin Davidson just does whatever the hell he wants. No way did he swing and Davidson had the gumption to not even check the 3rd base ump. Dusty didn't hardly care but defensive placement/bench coach Chris Speier threw a fit and got tosses....glad someone cares.
The Pirates SS taking a bad angle in the 9th was the difference in the game...he's gotta keep that ball in the IF.
