Reds at bat in 8th. Ford gets on, Bell puts in base runner in Encarnacion.  Bal hit to shallow Center fly out, thrown back to first base, Double Play.  Worst base running I've ever seen.  I don't care if he was trying to steal second, a fly ball out to center field should not be a double play to end the inning.  High School teams play better fundamentals than these high paid slobs in MLB.

Reds lose 8 straight games.  Barry Larkin says Reds are doing better, NO THEY ARE NOT.   Yes, I meant to yell there.  Todays game was awful.  Reds ran themselves out of this game with just awful base running.  Diaz choked again, and I had him in Fantasy Teams, but I've dropped him from all my Fantasy teams over last few weeks.  He isn't getting it done this year, plain and simple.  When Diaz lost opening game, Larkin said he hoped that wasn't a sign of things to come with Diaz.  I wondered what Larkin had seen in Spring that had him concerned over Diaz.  Larkin who will say Reds losing last 8 games are doing better, same Larkin was less positive early on about Diaz.  It turns out Diaz has not been very good so far in 2024.

I think you mean Cruz, Diaz didn't pitch in this game.
