Yep agree 100%. Last weekend vs the Giants he led off with a slow chopper up the middle and the rookie Christian Arroyo was filling in for Crawford and bobbled it for an error. The Reds got 2 off Cueto that inning. They were unearned runs and Hamilton was 0-1 but that was absolutely bc Arroyo freaked out knowing Hamilton was running and got sped up.
