But he strikes out and doesn't have a good average. We are trying to get away from that.

Thewupk, I admire your baseball knowledge too much for you to say this as much as you do.

EY needs to be DFA'ed soon.

Fredi is ensuring that Martin won't be able to be used tomorrow by throwing him 2 innings....in a 5-run game.

 

[Garmel]

Martin is good.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Votto just seems like a real hothead to me even though he struck out on a ball just now.

I'm just bitter. That's all.

This is absolutely the correct baseball decision.

Just FYI, The Gat-man has been killing it the last few days. He now is only hitting .188, but with 5 homers and 16 RBIs.

You seem bitter about being called bitter.

 

[bravesnumberone]

It was a bad call, but I like how the umpire handled it.

Could be. Been a long weekend.

Jace Peterson can flat out field. I would love to see his positional versatility. You could get this kid 450 AB's just by giving guys rest all over the diamond.

You mean he acted like a professioanl unlike the one who went after Freeman?

 

[Garmel]

The days of him platooning with EY need to come to a swift end.

Since working with Seitzer and shortening his swing, Maybin looks much better at the plate.

 

[USMA76]

Votto just seems like a real hothead to me even though he struck out on a ball just now.

I agree. He whined continually in yesterday's game about the same lopsided strike zone everyone was getting from that particular ump. The ump then adjusted the strike zone to Votto's whining--but for nobody else. So, yeah, he's a hothead and a crybaby.

 

[The Tariff King]

lol Fredi. Burning Avilan for this one out.

 

[sturg33]

Are you ****ing kidding me, Fredi?

 

[dak]

The Reds announcers are astounded that Fredi is making a pitching change in this spot, and I can't say I disagree with them. Wow.

 

[bravesnumberone]

5-0 with two outs in the 9th. How dare he walk a guy with the bases empty. Fredi just can't contain himself.

 

[USMA76]

On another note, the Mets lost again to the Nats 1-0. Tibetian monks scored as many times as the Mets did this weekend.
