BigDawgBengal Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 [quote name='BengalRep85-9' timestamp='1349984599' post='1168934'] I understand the thinking behind it but you have to protect the runners somewhat. Hanigan looked like he had no idea the runners were going. If Dusty was that worried about getting the runners over put the hit and run on. Don't do a straight steal of third IMO [/quote] It was not a straight steal. Dusty was expecting Hanigan to swing the bat to protect the runners. Hanigan just failed in the situation.

Orange 'n Black Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 These 3 games have been a bunch of badly timed and uncharacteristic failures. The swing Hanigan should have taken. Latos giving up a slam. Rolen's error in game 3. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the runners are going or not, you can not take a pitch that close that late in the game. It the runners are going its common knowledge that the hitter must swing. Hanigan just flat out screwed up.

[/quote] I just can't agree with betting what is possibly your season on hoping a guy swings. I'm protecting the runners in that situation. Yes he should have swung, but he didn't and it cost them big time. Putting a play on at least guarantees a swing a protects the runners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalRep85-9 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 This is definitely a series of lost opportunities for the reds. They've had numerous opportunities to get it done and can't. Plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewdog Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 This will go down as one of the biggest choke jobs in the history of baseball. Not only were the Reds up two games to zero, after winning the first two games of the series on the road, they lose the series on three straight games at home. In game 3 the Bengals had the chance to clinch the series and instead lost in extra innings thanks to an error by multiple gold glove winner Rolan. Not to mention a Red's defense which is one of the top defensive clubs in the majors. A National League team has NEVER lost a 5 game series after leading 2-0, until now.
