Reds tidbits 2014 (official thread of windshield licking)

There has never been any doubt in my mind he'd be a force of nature once he got on base. I still question how frequently he can do that.

If he can give a league average .330 or so he's a weapon.

MLB Tonight just did a side-by-side of Hamilton's triple with Deion back when he came up with Atlanta. Deion was running on Astroturf with the minimal slidepits around the bags. Hamilton slid into third base under 10.2. Primetime was in mid slide and still over a foot away from the bag.

That was a pretty remarkable run scored. I doubt many people have stolen a base on Yadier Molina so easily that he literally doesn't consider making a throw. And then taking third on a shallow fly ball. And then going home on basically a pop up.

Rickey Henderson would do things like that and they called it a Rickey run b/c no one else could do it. That was a Billy run.
