Hit-n-Run
Go Reds!!!
The Good: Winning three of four from the Brew Crew.
The Bad: Jay Bruce becomes the latest casualty.
The Ugly: Steve Smith might be the worst third base coach in the league. On more than one occasion this season with runners on 1st and 2nd and one out, the batter has hit what appears to be GIDP and the turn to first has been thrown away. Smith meets the lead runner at the 3rd base bag to retrieve the players batting helmet and such assuming the inning is over. The runner on 2nd should be busting ass around 3rd in this scenario, not loafing and exchanging equipment.
The player should know better, but the coach shouldn't be employed at the MLB level. There's been a lack of accountability when it comes to Steve Smith up to this point.
