Cain home wasn't at all very surprising. Joey Bats made a throw to 2nd based on what he thought hosmer was gonna do rounding first and he did it from his backfoot at the wall. even cutting off to the first baseman you were not going to get cain in base running. The Reds don't have these type baserunners other than billy and we can't even get him on base. You my friend have a lot more baseball to watch.......we don't have the speed on the base paths that the royals do.

You would also have to get rid of the whiff artists the Reds have and basically develop a whole new philosophy.  This might take years.
