He didn’t pick the Astro’s 2nd Baseman.
As for the brawl…the only people I ever see or hear mention it is Reds fans. You guys need to let it go. I have the damn brawl recorded Metalhead. I play it (or should say “played” it) regularly for all of my Redlegs loving buddies. Funny they no longer bring it up?
Why? Cause’ I pause it for their asses so they can see little “Joanie” dancing around the scrum trying to sucker punch someone. THAT…is the reason his punk ass got pinned against the fence. And if your boy #4 hadn’t of ran his cock sucker to the media the day prior and then tried to act like he and Yadi were boys the brawl would have never happenend.
DO. YOUR. HOMEWORK.

Pretty obvious his subconscious mind was thinking of the dimensions of the GAB.

Seeing him reach for the wall when he had not even reached the warning track was a weird sight to see.

But I do know they have stats and stuff on each player.

Really sorry to see you post this Metalhead. Thought you were a baseball fan.
I now realize otherwise. Dissapointing.

At the Great American SMALLpark that balls is easily 10 rows deep.
Nevertheless…you alwasy take note of the outfield conditions so you know how much room you have, their individual quirks, etc…
In his defense…he probably hasn’t played in San Francisco before.
Oh wait…this was the 3rd game of this particular series wasn’t it?

What a joke.

Runners are not running on Bruce. Statistics do not tell or indicate everything.

They actually evaluate how many bases runners take on OF on balls hit to every zone, and this year runners have taken more bases against Bruce than against an average OF…indeed, since 2009, runners have taken more bases against him than an average RF. For some things, you don’t actually have to rely on narrative, their are accurate comparative stats.

You can see Bruce feeling for the wall with his hand extended. He hadn’t even stepped on the warning track yet so he should have known that he still had room to ease back on it. Weird, i guess in cincy you don’t catch that ball, it’s 10 rows deep.

Good fielder, good attitude, Bruce is going to be an all-star many more years than this one. And yes 54 RBI through 76 games. I’d take him on my team any day.

On the plus side he is tenth in ops, i dont watch him play much but he must be an elite defender to be an all star with that ops in great american park. Must have just made on bad play like others are saying.

I see what you did there.

Forget today’s miscue, every player has one. Jay has approx 55 RBI’s. In addition he has a cannon for an arm.
