July 6, 201412 yr Jay Bruce has been working out at 1B. Why not Ludwick? Bruce is a very good defensive outfielder and Ludwick isn't. How about Schumacher? He has infield experience. It would be easy for him to play first. Bruce at first is not a good move IMO.
July 6, 201412 yr One of the reasons this team struggles is they don't take enough walks. They are 25th in the MLB in walks. One of the most exciting teams for me to watch is the Oakland A's, they are #1 in walks. They have 40 more walks than the number 2 team in the Dodgers. They have 120 more walks than the Reds. The A's have scored the second most runs in baseball, the Reds 24th. Don't doubt what you're posting, but I'll use Good Ole George's analogy. "Get 'em on, get 'em over, get 'em in", which they seem to struggle with at times. When it's obvious the big inning that they always aspire to isn't going to happen, this team cannot play "small ball" to manufacture runs. It's almost like it's beneath them to try. This team has WASTED so many good pitching performances.

July 6, 201412 yr I understand the lack of contact but great OBP plus 40 HR's. .359 OBP? His hot 40 Hrs once in the past 5 seasons. Has 12 this year. How much the Sox paying him? Nah...

July 6, 201412 yr Author Win today and you have to call it a successful weekend. Taking 2 of 3 is always successful
July 6, 201412 yr Author The media is tweeting out some interesting stuff about Votto. He's not in the clubhouse, Castellini is with Price who has yet to meet with the media. Something is coming
July 6, 201412 yr The media is tweeting out some interesting stuff about Votto. He's not in the clubhouse, Castellini is with Price who has yet to meet with the media. Something is coming Surely not a trade?
July 6, 201412 yr Media meeting with Price delayed and Castellini is in Price's office. My guess is DL which makes sense right now. He hasn't been himself and gives him the extra week to heal then the All-Star break.
July 6, 201412 yr Author Price said it's a normal day off for him. But Votto never gets normal days off. I still think and have been thinking for a week, a DL trip is in the near future.
July 6, 201412 yr Author Welp Votto is in the clubhouse and his locker isn't empty. Looks like I just waste an hour trying to figure out what was going on lol
July 6, 201412 yr I think he was talking in past tense when Dunn was with the Reds. Ah. the good ole days. When the Reds sucked, but they had the Donkey. Good Times...
July 6, 201412 yr Author Ah. the good ole days. When the Reds sucked, but they had the Donkey. Good Times... That team was proof that pitching wins games.
