July 12, 201313 yr The Reds are mentally weak. They've played under .500 ball since June 1st, and have zero leadership, fire, or offense. Whenever things start to go bad, they crumble.
July 12, 201313 yr What is keeping Votto or even Bruce from stepping into a leadership role? Do they just not have the "leader" trait?
July 12, 201313 yr What is keeping Votto or even Bruce from stepping into a leadership role? Do they just not have the "leader" trait? Pretty much. Side note, Votto has to be one of the most overpaid players in the game. $20M+ for 70 RBIs? Money not very well spent.
July 12, 201313 yr Pretty much. Side note, Votto has to be one of the most overpaid players in the game. $20M+ for 70 RBIs? Money not very well spent. I'd say BJ Upton has him beat there. :lol2:
July 12, 201313 yr Choo 8, Robinson 7, Votto 3, Phillips 4, Bruce 9, Frazier 5, Cozart 6, Mesoraco 2, Arroyo RHP
July 12, 201313 yr Pretty much. Side note, Votto has to be one of the most overpaid players in the game. $20M+ for 70 RBIs? Money not very well spent. Votto never seems to get a hit when it is needed...If Reds are winning big, he'll go 3 for 5 or down 4 runs he's money to get on base. But in a tight game Votto seems to always disappear. I want to like him but every time I watch him he seems to come up small.

July 12, 201313 yr Just saw a stat that blew my mind. Votto has 10 more AB's with runners in scoring position this year (92 games) than the did last year (111). For as bad the 2 hole has been, Choo has picked up a little slack. Hes 6 for 44 with men on and 2 outs. last year he was 14 for 41. He just not right this year.
July 12, 201313 yr I know Votto is still hitting .318 or thereabout but what will be the best batting average on the team after him? Will anyone be over .270 by the end of the year?
July 12, 201313 yr I know Votto is still hitting .318 or thereabout but what will be the best batting average on the team after him? Will anyone be over .270 by the end of the year? More important question... Will anyone be under .220 at the end of the year? Choo Phillips Votto Bruce All will be above .270 Votto finishes the year batting .315, he hits enough singles for this to happen
July 12, 201313 yr Hannigan, Heisey, Cozart, Frazier, Mesoroco, and the entire bench all still candidates for the under .220 club. The under .270 club I think Choo is most likely. Bruce maybe if he hits ones of his funks. Phillips if his arm is still not right and Bruce is cold behind him. Hopefully one of them gets hot and challenges the .300 club.
