He would have been knocked out in the 7th but for the bizarre play with the ball coming out of the Reds bullpen.

True....that was insane. 3rd base coach needs to see that and be yelling at the runnerHitsRus;1641611 wrote:He would have been knocked out in the 7th but for the bizarre play with the ball coming out of the Reds bullpen.

That's a pretty God awful out call at home. Clearly safe.

Pena showing with that ugly slide and his bumbling around first defensively that he's unbelievably more clumsy than Votto.

Lol, you are too much....an unconventional play with a clear swipe and miss but also no touching of the plate....then his fingers touch maybe 2 inches before his hip was tagged.wildcats20;1641620 wrote:I saw it live. It was clearly safe

Why do first basemen not stretch anymore?

I agree with you...no clue why it's not emphasized

Maybe because Frazier isn't an everyday first baseman? Votto seems to stretch quite a bit when he is in there...especially when the play will be close. Frazier just isn't a normal first baseman and isn't used to having to stretch to avoid the close play.mhs95_06;1641630 wrote:Why do first basemen not stretch anymore?

Votto has shown over and over that his stretching is often lackluster.....especially on throws from the catcher and pitcher near the platesherm03;1641642 wrote:Maybe because Frazier isn't an everyday first baseman?

It may be lackluster, but he attempts to stretch. Especially on balls where he has to make a scoop on the throw from third or short, he usually has a decent stretch.Ironman92;1641645 wrote:Votto has shown over and over that his stretching is often lackluster.....especially on throws from the catcher and pitcher near the plate
My point in my response was that maybe we shouldn't get on Frazier for not stretching since he isn't a regular first baseman.
