Jay Bruce:

With Votto in lineup: .238 (36 for 151), 11 HR, 27 RBI, .517 SLG, 39 games

Without Votto in lineup: .183 (21for 115) 7 HR, 13 RBI, .400 SLG, 33 games

 

So his avg sucks this year regardless of Votto?

That's what I was thinking.

 

Bruce is young. He'll continue to get better.

 

This lineup has some serious holes. Janish's true colors are showing. We need EE back in the lineup quickly.

 

How much longer can we put Taveras out there? We cannot afford to run guys out there daily who simply aren't hitting.

Volquez has been cleared to throw from 60 feet. This is great news.

 

I think he'll be back right after the All-Star break.

Just waiting for Gomes/Nix to cool off and we will be in some more trouble. I know you guys were arguing they are just as good together as Holliday but I don't think they can sustain the numbers they are putting up all year.

Not surprising at all. You can tell he tries to push it to hard w/out Votto.

 

It isn't like he was burning it up with a .238 average with Votto in the lineup.

Heisey is hitting .368 so far with the Bats and has 4 RBIs.

 

Adam Rosales hit .420 with the Bats and had 15 RBIs in 18 games.........

Can we package Taveras and Arroyo? Put em in a crate and ship them,,,,,,whereever? Please. Taveras pulls the Ringling/Barnum Bros. on a ball hit straight over his head. Thought LRCW was gonna spit his peanuts on the lady in front of him.

How do they replace Arroyo's 15 wins, 200+ innings, and his amount of quality starts?

 

Or his 15 losses and 5.69 Era?

Adam Rosales hit .420 with the Bats and had 15 RBIs in 18 games.........

 

And?

And?

I think the moral of the story is that just because a guy is hot at Louisville doesn't mean it will carry over to Cincinnati.

That would have been more fun to watch ...

He's only played like 5 games I was just saying how he was doing. I guess I won't bother next time. I had no idea that was the case ^.

The Reds are calling up infielder Drew Sutton from Louisville.

 

Sutton, who the Reds acquired in the Jeff Keppinger trade with Houston, is batting .255 with five home runs and 19 RBIs in 43 games at Class AAA this year.

So is Sutton the new flavor of the month at third base?

Not exactly instant offense. Why send Burton down? He has been pitching pretty well.
