- Shuck should have made a play on the Votto double.

- Gold glover Dickerson made a bad play on the ball off the wall

- Bell couldn't catch a routine grounder.

- Bell couldn't throw to second after making a catch on a sharply hit ball

- Bell doesn't know how to play a run down.

- Frazier falls down trying to catch a ground ball

Where was Taillon on the rundown? If he hustles to cover the base they get Votto.

I was watching the Reds broadcast on my Extra Innings package (because it's about a pitch ahead of the MLBTV streaming). They interviewed Manfred an inning before Brown/Walk did and he sounded perfectly normal. Then I went to the MLBTV stream of the Pirates broadcast to see what you guys were talking about and Manfred sounded like a different person. Something was definitely wrong in his Pirates interview because he was entirely normal an inning early on the Reds broadcast.

A hit for Bell! He needed that.

Very aggressive coaching at 3B by Cora. When it works, it looks genius. When it doesn't...not so much. But it worked and gave them the lead!

I hop people keep that play in mind when they want to complain about bad pirate baserunning. Cervelli took an extra base to score and Kang got an extra going to second

Amazing throw by Cervelli from his knees to nail a runner by 6 feet!

WOW. Foul ball or not, that becomes a huge play.

I'm guessing the Bucs don't have the 3rd best BP in MLB today.
