Reds' Jason Bourgeois Forgets Infield Fly Rule, Strolls Into Double Play
I’ve got nothing but sympathy for Cincinnati outfielder Jason Bourgeois, who killed a potential Reds rally by needlessly breaking for home when he could have stayed safely at third. I know the infield fly rule by heart—and I’d bet Borgeoius does too—but it’s invoked so infrequently, and clashes so s...

It could have been the perfect crime.

You're Never Safe When Billy Hamilton Is On Base
I’m not sure what compelled Billy Hamilton to make this ballsy play during Saturday’s game against the Marlins—maybe when you steal as many bases as he does, you get bored and and have to find new ways to challenge yourself—but I sure am glad that he went for it:...
Carlos Gomez Is A Good Buddy Who Will Leave You Some Gum
Sometimes I forget how much I enjoy Carlos Gomez, who is always down to start some shit on the field or give a hilarious quote off of it, and then he goes and does something like this:...

Billy Hamilton: Still Fast As Hell
Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton still can’t really hit, but it’s moments like this one from yesterday’s game against the Phillies that make keeping him in the lineup worth it. ...
Joey Votto Walked On Three Balls; Everything Is A Lie
Joey Votto only needed three balls to get on base in Sunday’s game, because no one caught the mistake. Sunday baseball’s full of rogues who don’t even respect pitch counts. Everyone’s too laid-back....

Verne Lundquist Absolutely Delighted By Rejection-Turned-Assist
Cincinnati's going to lose to Kentucky, but they'll always have the moment Troy Caupain played tip-drill after a Wildcats block and managed to find the basket. If you listen closely, you can hear the tears of joy trickle down a delighted Verne Lundquist's face....
Cincinnati Forces Overtime With Last Gasp Layup
I—and everybody else, surely—was screaming "SHOOT THE DAMN BALL ALREADY" at Cincinnati's Troy Caupain as he seemingly took an eternity to attempt and tie the ballgame. But Caupain's internal clock had Swiss watchmaker-like accuracy, and by golly he was going to use up 7.3 of the 7.4 seconds he had t...

Cincinnati is locked in a tight battle with Purdue for the right to play (presumably) Kentucky in the next round, but their task just got a lot harder after forward Octavius Ellis was given a flagrant two and ejected for the forearm shiver above. He seemed to regret his excessively violent boxing ou...
