The rule states that the next batter is a put-out to the catcher. That is why Bruce was out and Cabrera's double was nullified.Reese Kaplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993445356545875409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-11147745157079373112018-05-09T14:03:40.094-04:002018-05-09T14:03:40.094-04:00Batted out of order in the first inning today.

When CIN batted out o order in the Randolph era, the the batter who didn't bat was declared out & the batter who just grounded out (of-order) batter again (& singled).<br />Hobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161607087964191500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-23646522708228402032018-05-09T13:56:46.947-04:002018-05-09T13:56:46.947-04:00His ERA dropped yet again, but still high enough t...His ERA dropped yet again, but still high enough that if it was a blackjack hand he could go bust with a face card.Reese Kaplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993445356545875409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-44119920458428622012018-05-09T13:48:29.698-04:002018-05-09T13:48:29.698-04:00I did not see Vargas pitch last night.

They never go for the brass ring since signing Carlos Beltran and Pedro Martinez who were at the time the best available players. Since then i.e. the Alderson era they have always tried to find "value" personnel and too often they spend foolishly on Tier II talents or gamble on Tier I talents whose best days are long behind them. In their failed quest for meaningful games in September, they set the goal to contend rather than to win.
