He does have to get on the highway to get back to Cincy, too bad it wasn't .175, lol.

What do other baseball people and Reds fans think about starting Votto when you are currently riding an 8-game winning streak?  I say not.

I'm with you!

Hunter Green paced on IL with hip pain.

Votto is batting .500 and we are up 3 to 2 in the 6th.

Votto has 3 RBIs and the Reds are up 5 to 4 in the 6th.

Long 6th inning?

That's why I'm sitting at home and not the manager of the Reds.?

5-4 Reds win.   9 Straight.  3 over .500 currently tied for first with Milwaukee.

At this moment, Milwaukee is trailing the Dbacks, 8-1 in the 7th.

Apparently, there were five runs total scored in the 6th.

I was sitting here thinking about what you said earlier.  My gut said put Votto in and cross your fingers but I was conflicted. 

Arizona 9 Milwaukee 1.  Reds are now in sole possession of 1st in the NL Central.  1/2 game up on the Brewers.   Didn't see this coming in March.

Interesting to go back and read some of the comments in the "Reds (NL) Over/Under Predictions" thread from earlier this year (including my own).  ?  Currently at 38 wins, they are only 28 more wins from going over the prediction for them.
