Looks like Cueto will get another try for a sacrifice.

Throw into the dugout scores a run and takes that away.

No subs yet for the Reds. 8 of the 9 Reds have hits, all except Bruce who has the lead taking RBI, six players have scored runs, and 4 players have RBIs. Now that the lead is 6 and Cueto has been in the dugout a while, does dusty leave him there to start the top of the 9th? I would.

Johnny ran out onto the field right away when the last out was made, maybe to get away from Dusty before he could tell him to sit still.

Nonchalant throw by BP after making a very difficult pick-up nearly costs Johnny Cueto a complete game.

That's a tough throw. Not nonchalant at all.

Great game cueto!!

LOL....if he sets and throws, no way he gets the out.

If he takes his time sets and throws, sure it is too late, but he could have done better than what he did - just thought he could get away with hot-dogging it a bit on what he thought was the final play. Also Votto got a little impatient - I think if he played it better he could have bailed out BP on his poor throw.

I really would have given an error on that play on Santana, and if you could split the error, I'd go 70% BP, 30% Votto. And on the Choo error on the throw to 3rd, I'd have gone 30% Choo, 70% Chisenhall.

Cueto was really dealing in those late innings.

Joey Votto makes baseball look so easy.

I'm not saying he'd be safe regardless!

Really? Sitting behind the 3rd base dugout it looked like Choo had a perfect throw and Chiz just missed it. Chiz should've had an error on the short one he tried to barehand and missed, too.

When the throw bounces like it did on the throw to third it will be an error pretty much 100% of the time. We always tought our guys, especially at third base, to sell out stopping the throw. Be a catcher, or a hockey goalie, or whatever. Just get in front of it because if you dont there is a good chance that run will score.


I wouldnt have given Votto any % of the error on that play in the 9th. The throw was high and away and it pulled him off the bag. I do think BP coulda set and thrown and got him out. It wasnt a bang-bang play and if he had set quickly and got more on the throw I think he gets him out.
