June 15, 201214 yr In my opinion Bruce is not living up to the hype. I also saw the numbers comparison to other major league players,and I also know there are numbers within those numbers. The numbers don't say how many times he struck out or got out with the bases loaded or in scoring position. The numbers don't say how many times he took perfect pitches and swung at lousy pitches. I know he is still young and he will get better as he matures as a ball player.I have never seen him attempt a bunt to move the runners over, first and second nobody out. I know that's Dustys call, but if they needed a bunt could he do it? Bottom line, right now if the game was on the line, other than Votto, who would you want to see at the plate? I believe this is a fair question, and I hope to get an honest answer. I'm not a Bruce hater, never have been. I'm a Reds fan and would like to see him do well and help the Reds win. I think I'm going to put this thread to bed. Clyde, I understand what your saying and it is a valid point. Maybe I'm just expecting too much from a young player. If I could pick one player right now other than Votto it would be BP...With this team it changes week to week though, this week it might be BP, next week it could be Bruce...Heisey and Frazier have also looked good recently...If your a Reds fan you would know that Bruce isn't the only one that can't bunt, swings at bad pitches and takes good pitches...
June 15, 201214 yr Have fun and be safe...I think the Reds will be fine, feeling back to back sweeps!!! Have the Reds played a series this season that you haven't picked them to sweep?

Your right. I'll leave it at that.
June 15, 201214 yr Have the Reds played a series this season that you haven't picked them to sweep? Just in very recent memory I think I said the Reds might get swept by the Tigers...Hmmm anyways the reds best 3 so far take the bump and the Reds miss the Mets top 2 pretty good reasoning imo...Has there been one Reds thread this year that you havent tried questioning me for something :lol:...If a matchup doesnt favor the Reds Ill admit it, a little confidence never hurts though!!!
