The Good
–The following narrative was originally written for the “The Bad” section below. But then Billy Hamilton did what Billy Hamilton does.
With the Reds down 3-2 in the top of the ninth, Scooter Gennett led off with a single. Tucker Barnhart followed up with another single, and the Reds had runners on first and second with no outs.
And Bryan Price asked Jose Peraza to bunt. Yes, the Reds only had three outs left in the game, and they willingly handed one of them to the Indians for free. Peraza did exactly as you would suspect: terrible bunt, and the lead runner was forced out at third.
