okay, it wasn't a great call to send him home,

but there were 2 outs, so it would’ve taken a Gomes hit to score the run.

That said, it would’ve been Gomes vs. a lefty.

Too bad Phillips wasn’t the one running!

They just showed that replay where the guy was tagged out at home

that is nauseating and I'm glad I missed the play

Votto should have made a hard slide. 6’3 230 is a lot of real estate and I bet the catcher would have backed off. If Votto had hurt someone, though, that would have been terrible and not worth it.

Do you remember when Austin Kearns went hard into Ray King?
