Theoldguy Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I will take Perez, if there was a man on third with less than 2 outs, that man came home on Tony RBI. You all realize, that to win a game, you have to score runs and all Tony did was knock runs in year after year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldguy Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Need to also remember the talent back in the 70's was much better than the watered down lineups that the MLB puts on the field nowadays. Back in the 70's the players also weren't treated like china dolls, if there was a game, you played, days off, you got to be kidding me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoldguy Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Vottos batting average is like 60 points higher in that situation actually. Let's just wait and see Joey numbers when he plays as many years as Tony did. O, and since baseball is more of a team game, just how many rings does Joey have and in this area who do you think is much more respected by the fans, as a leader and team player! Joey or Tony?

Voice of Reason Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Lets look at it from the stats side of things. Perez BA .279 OBP .341 SLG .463 OPS .804 162 game AVG - 74 Runs 22 HR 96 RBI 54 BB 109 K Votto BA .312 OBP .424 SLG .538 OPS .962 162 game AVG - 97 Runs 29 HR 95 RBI 110 BB 127 K Frank Robinson BA ..294 OBP .389 SLG .537 OPS .926 162 game AVG - 106 Runs 34 HR 105 RBI 82 BB 88 K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldguy Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I'm not punishing Votto because he didn't get to play with Rose,Bench,Griffey,Morgan,Foster, Geronimo, etc. And I am saying because of Perez, the Reds were that team with Rose, Bench and Morgan, etc.. I had the unique opportunity to be in that Clubhouse from time to time for a couple of years and spent many hours with some team members during and after the season was over during the days of the Big Reds Machine and Perez was the glue that kept the egos of those superstars of Bench, Morgan and Rose in check and focused on being a team and while Votto might have better some better stats you replace Voto with Perez on that team and the Big Red Machine would have broken down due to egos. By the way it much easier to be playing the game when the season isn't on the line each and every day, meaning what pressure is Votto under to win a World Championship much less a National League Pennant with the Reds. I will take Tony over Joey, because Baseball is indeed much more than just numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Frank Robinson BA ..294 OBP .389 SLG .537 OPS .926 162 game AVG - 106 Runs 34 HR 105 RBI 82 BB 88 K Ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAC Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 He also would have less RBI opportunities having to share them with Bench, Morgan, and Foster. One could argue more RBI opportunities snce they would pitch to him versus walk him. On base % might drop for Votto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Ok? Just throwing Robinson's stats into the thread since someone else brought up his name. I guess I didn't have to quote you to do that but I wanted to make it easy for everyone to see all three players' stats next to each other.

There are arguments you could make for your case, but saying Votto is treated like a china doll isn't one of them. He doesn't get days off...he doesn't take days off...he doesn't want days off. He wants to play every inning of every game. You may be right with hundreds of other players from today, but Votto isn't one of them. Heck, there's been times when I thought they should've given him a break, and they haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
