Bruce's Arm

I'm watching the Reds vs Cubs game right now and it's been an exciting game for the first few innings. Already Votto hit a deep homer run to straight away centerfield with a runner on first. Right now the score is 2-0 Reds, but the Cubs could have easily scored a run if it wasn't for Jay Bruce's defense.

Let me describe it to you. There was a runner on second base and the batter hit the ball down the right field line. It wasn't catchable so the runner started and was waived around 3rd base. I'm not sure if he was a really fast guy; he looked like about average speed. Bruce charges the ball and gets to it quickly and fires a bullet to the catcher Ryan Hanigan. Hanigan catches it about head high and has plenty of time to tag out the runner. Man that was a great play. It seems like teams to keep challenging Jay, and they keep paying the price for it.
