Omar With a Walk Off

The Link In reply to: [hr]In a game that featured nearly everything, Omar Quintanilla finally gave it an ending. Quintanilla homered with one out in the 12th inning and the Colorado Rockies took advantage of five Cincinnati errors to beat the Reds 4-3 on Sunday. [hr] In reply to: [hr]Quintanilla, who entered as a defensive replacement at second base in the 12th, hit Mike Lincoln’s 1-2 pitch into the right-field bleachers for his second homer of the season. “I tried to get on base for Matty. I got a pretty good pitch to hit, took a hack at it,” Quintanilla said. “It felt good right away. It was an unbelievable feeling.” Quintanilla has been used sparingly since shortstop Troy Tulowitzki returned from the disabled list on July 21. Before homering Sunday, he was 3-for-26 since July 26. [hr] In reply to: [hr]“That was very appropriate that that happened for him today because he does his work so professionally,” Hurdle said. “Whatever you ask him to do, he does it. And he does such a good job when he’s out there.” [hr] The above quote is how I'd like all Horns in the pro's talked about, regardless of sport. What a great compliment. I really hope Omar gets traded somewhere that doesn't have basically 6 guys competing for three spots (Baker plays 1st and 2nd).
