He was walking back the bag with his head down when catcher Humberto Quintero threw to first. It was a big play. The Reds were down 2-0 in a game [...]

Humberto Quintero wept when the Astros sent him back to the minor leagues at the end of spring training. I'm pretty sure his teammates and coaches wanted to cry, too. He'd done everything right. He'd lost weight and played well in spring training. And yet the Astros were committed to J.R. Towles and Brad Ausmus. As I watched Quintero pack his gear that day, it hit me that he'd probably never get a...

Manager Cecil Cooper called it opportunistic and pitcher Randy Wolf called it strange. But catcher Humberto Quintero probably best summed up the Astros' wild six-run sixth inning that resulted in a 6-2 win over the San Francisco Giants: crazy. San Francisco...

Looked like Dustin Pedroia was a dead duck on that one. But, even with the throw from catcher Humberto Quintero getting to second base way ahead of Pedroia, Miguel Tejada missed the tag. Pedroia lifted up his hand and got it in on the second base bag ahead of the tag. That's the ninth stolen base for the on-fire Pedroia. He's now 11-for-15 in his last four games (including today). Not including today's...
