Reds/Cubs game last night, bottom 2. Throw beats Fox to second by at least 6 feet. F4 makes the obligatory dip with the glove but misses the tag. Fox slid straight into the bag, nothing special. SAFE.

Hopefully this attitude will filter down to the amateurs.

You're so eager to prove a point, you bring the wrong evidence.

Saw the play. It was both the obvious call and the right call. No question about it.
