After the Cincinnati Reds accomplished the rare miscue in the ninth inning against the Mets yesterday, crew chief Dale Scott said he had never seen it happen in 23 years of umpiring.
Backup catcher David Ross led off Cincinnati's ninth and lined out. But the batter in the No. 8 spot should have been outfielder Corey Patterson, with Ross hitting ninth after an earlier double-switch.
(Patterson was charged with the out and Ross came up again. This time, he singled.)
Reds manager Dusty Baker said the batting order was correct on the dugout board and on his scorecard.
"The guys hit out of order, and it's my job to catch that," Baker said after the 8-3 loss. "So I take full responsibility."
Come on, Skip - quit covering for the millionaires. If they don't know when to bat, they should ask.
That's what he gets for dumping a sweetie like Carrie Underwood for that publicity hog Jessica Simpson.
Holding a 5-2 lead over the St. Louis Cardinals in the ninth, Brewers manager Ned Yost handed to ball to Salomon Torres, who coughed up a double, then a walk.
Yost came out again, this time to wave in lefthander Brian Shouse, who gave up an RBI single to Yadier Molina before finally getting the fifth save of his career.
