CINCINNATI -- One day after a controversial loss,?Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price wasnt backing down from his assertion the system cheated his team out of a victory while throwing a wrench into the wild-card race.I think Major League Baseball is going to have to take a hard look at these end-of-game situations, Price said on Friday afternoon. For it to end like that is a crime.The Reds were tied 3-3 with the St. Louis Cardinals in the bottom of the ninth inning on Thursday when Yadier Molina doubled to left field, scoring Matt Carpenter from first base with the winning run. But the ball actually bounced over the home run wall and off one behind it and then bounded back in the playing field.The correct call should have been a ground-rule double, sending Carpenter back to third base, but the umpires didnt see it and the noise in Busch Stadium prevented Price from hearing the phone ringing in the dugout -- a call from his video team. By the time they figured out what happened, the umpires had left the field. The game was declared over.We werent in the clubhouse sitting around in shorts looking whats in the kitchen to eat, Price said. We were still on the field. Were talking about 30 seconds after the play.My feeling now in retrospect is maybe he [third-base coach Chris Maloney] saw that the ball did go out of play and there was nothing to lose because if the runner was thrown out at the plate they could appeal it and its a ground-rule double. Maybe he saw something no one else did.Price has an advocate in Cubs manager Joe Maddon, who stressed its hard to see outfield plays from the sunken dugout at Busch Stadium while also agreeing it can be tough to hear the phone.The phone in Pittsburgh [for example] is kind of quiet, Maddon said. Its a buzz instead of a loud ring. We should have a blinker that comes on.Maddon often has criticized baseballs desire to speed games up, and he and Price agree that was part of the problem on Thursday. The Reds needed more than the allotted 10 seconds before the umpires left the field.The things that I read [on Friday], the manager wasnt out fast enough, Price said. He has to make an immediate call. The focus needs to be making sure the rule is adjusted to accommodate time to see the replay.Maddon simply added: I have no sympathy for the time element there at all.The outcome affected the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets more than the Reds as Cincinnati isnt in playoff contention. But the win by the Cardinals kept them closer to the two wild-card leaders.We want the game to end with a proper result, Price said. One that should be supported through replay. ... Whats the point of replay if you cant use it in every single circumstance? Mathew Barzal Jersey .

Billy Smith Islanders Jersey . Terms of the deal were not immediately available.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse coach Dino Babers is the first to admit that it wasnt exactly love at first sight with wideout Amba Etta-Tawo.When I was at Bowling Green last year, we played Maryland; I didnt really remember Amba in the game, said Babers, hired by Syracuse in December to replace Scott Shafer.Now its difficult not to notice the elusive Etta-Tawo, who apparently liked what he saw in Babers up-tempo style of offense during Bowling Greens 48-27 win over the Terps in 2015 and transferred to Syracuse for his final year of eligibility.Three games into the season, Etta-Tawo is thriving in the Oranges new offense. He leads the Atlantic Coast Conference and ranks third nationally in receiving yards per game (145.3), and his 9.3 receptions per game are tied for fourth in the Football Bowl Subdivision.I think Ive adjusted pretty well (to Babers system), but theres always room for improvement, said Etta-Tawo, whose parents are Nigerian. Just take it step by step, and at the end of the day everything will work out.Etta-Tawo has 28 catches for 436 yards -- an average of 15.6 yards per catch -- and three touchdowns. That receiving yardage total is the most ever for a Syracuse player in the first three games of a season. No surprise that his name was added this week to the national watch list for the Biletnikoff Award , given annually to the best receiver in the nation.Amba has been outstanding. Hes been a pleasant surprise, Babers said. Obviously, we had no idea hed be able to do the things that hes done so far, but it doesnt surprise me with the woork ethic that he put in when he started here, coming in the summer, working with (quarterback) Eric Dungey, the way he goes about his work in practice.ddddddddddddEtta-Tawos first game with the Orange is one hell likely remember forever. He caught 12 passes for 210 yards in a 33-7 victory over Football Championship Subdivision foe Colgate. Against then-No. 13 Louisville in Week 2, he had eight catches for 103 yards and two scores, one a 47-yarder, in a lopsided home loss to the rising Cardinals. He followed that with eight receptions for 123 yards in a loss against South Florida on Saturday in the Carrier Dome.Thats an impressive improvement from his time at Maryland, where Etta-Tawo had 61 catches for 938 yards and scored three times.I knew what I could do, said Etta-Tawo, who led Maryland with five catches for 49 yards in that game against Babers and Bowling Green last season. Its just learning what the coaches are preaching. Theyve done a great job teaching me new techniques and things to up my game a little bit.If youre on the same page as the quarterback, youre going to make it work.Syracuse (1-2) travels on Saturday to UConn (2-1), which could use a threat like the speedy, 6-foot-2, 202-pound Etta-Tawo. The Huskies have just 580 yards passing as a team, ranking last in the American Athletic Conference.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Kekis on Twitter: www.twitter.com/Greek1947 ' ' '
