jpa2825 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 [ATTACH=CONFIG]67003[/ATTACH] That's a great point. Long term, big $ contracts can actually work out well. Votto has an OBP of .419 and an OPS of .832. It is also not a coincidence that the 2 guys hitting either side of him usually are having career years because they are getting better pitches to hit (Gennett to avoid him being on base when Votto comes up and Suarez because >40% of the time there is someone on base.) I'm sure you were going to post that AUG has traditionally been a very strong month for Votto and that he spent most of the month sidelined with an injury. Sorry if I stole your thunder.

The biggest thing I noticed is that a guy that hasn't been with the Reds in over a month still has more RBI's than Votto this season as a Red. But hey, Votto for President.

NKU20 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 9 homers and 57 RBI's are not good for a #3 hitter. His numbers are great for a #2 or lead off hitter however, where he should be hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper_Dad Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Reds gonna Red.... I will give props to all you Red fans for sticking with your team even tho they are horrible every year. Are fans supposed to turn their back on their team when things are down? I've been a Reds fan since '74, I don't see losing seasons changing that.

gametime Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Homer is not that bad. He's statistically the worst starting pitcher in baseball this year with over 100 innings pitched. He's that bad, and then some... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PP1 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 If anyone thinks that he is the problem with the organization, then they have not been paying attention. I guarantee you, if we dropped him today, he would make a start for another team this year that has a better record then us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 He got the big contract because he pitched two. no hitters. I'm yet to hear the first person say something nice about him. I could feel bad for him if he were an upright guy, but that is obviously not the case. He's obviously mailed it in and can't wait until the Reds cut him loose.

plantmanky Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I have to think that if the Reds eat the whole contract they could trade him somewhere. But I don't believe Bob wants to trade him. So again, we are down to this ownership not wanting to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be in the minority then of people that have met him but I've met Homer a few times and he's been nothing but pleasant each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
