Reds manager David Bell on pinch running for Joey Votto

The Cincinnati Reds comeback on Wednesday night fell short as they stranded the bases loaded in the 9th inning as Christian Colon grounded into a double play to end the game in a spot that was once the batting spot for Joey Votto. But the Reds starting first baseman wasn’t available there because he was pinch run for the inning before after drawing a walk. Travis Jankowski went 1st to third on a single that followed, but was stranded there after back-to-back strikeouts.

The move was the ire, one of many moves that drew the ire of social media on the night – particularly after the game ended in the fashion that it did.
