Yankees @ Reds (5/8-5/9)

What was the reason they sent Garrett down?

[AverageJoesGym]

Inexcusable. Bases loaded no out and you can't plate a run.

 

Getting really tired of Peraza swinging at every single pitch he sees.

 

127 plate appearances, 2 walks so far.

[Randy Parker]

Great relief appearance by Storen.

Reds were behind the eight ball from the first batter. Could never recover.

It amazes me how clueless he remains on when to cover the bag and when to go after a ball. It's simply mind boggling.

 

Always been a mental headcase.

What was the reason they sent Garrett down?

 

Two off days coming up, won't need 5 starters and he's on pace to shatter his innings limit.

[HammerTime]

Votto with his 10th HR to get them back in the game.

Wow...it didn't take them very long to get back out of it again.

What was the reason they sent Garrett down?

 

Baseball contracts don't make a whole lot of sense to me, but from what I understand by sending him down and keeping him down for a little, they'll have control of him through 2024. If they kept him in the majors the whole time, they'd have control of him through 2023.

 

Simply a business/long term decision.

Tied for 2nd in RBIs in the NL.

What the heck was up with him last night?

That and he's on an innings limit, so by sending him down for a couple weeks they should be able to avoid having to shut him down at season's end.

In the month of May Votto has a .409/.588/.818 slash line to go with 2 HRs, 10 RBI, and 11 BBs. That's in 8 games. Is that good? Asking for a friend...
