Exactly. If the Reds actually field that ball, throw to 3rd, then throw to 2nd - that's a double play - inning over. Phillips is smart enough to go get the ball, but not smart enough to know the sequence.
This season has had it all really - however, one of those amazing things has been Dickey's turn around. I think EVERYONE had written him off for dead.....he's been the man as of late. Awesome to see. I have big respect for that man.
I thought the 'eye test' was flawless? Cito must have been partially blind not to see Olerud hitting .363/.473/.599 was significantly better than Carter hitting .254/.312/.489. You don't need WAR, wRC+ or any advanced stats to know who's a much better hitter.
Olerud was the 3rd most valuable player in baseball in 1993 and Cito was benching him for Joe f***ing Carter.
