Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/19/13
I don't blame Speier for sending JV with 2 outs...I just wish we had some more speed on this team. Votto is slow.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/19/13
Has a third base coach ever been fired mid-season?
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/19/13
Speier's been overly cautious all year, now reckless with a player who doesn't like to slide. Go figure.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/19/13
Started watching awhile ago- between Meseraco, Heisey not diving, Simon walking Tabata to get to McCuthen and now this fiasco with Votto, I see why things are the way they are.

You can't think on the base paths..... Horrible base running.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/19/13
Watching Votto run isn't the grandest of visions.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/19/13
I never worry about the Votto deal until I see him run. Imagine his speed in five years. Not that 1B speed is this huge thing deal, but it hurts to have another catcher running.

It wasn't even close. Just dumb baseball. Dumb everyones accusing me.

I was castigated once for suggesting he be fired mid game
maybe that was the cognac making me go over the top that night

Did you see his base running? That's on Joey. He's not as athletic on the paths as he is at the plate.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/19/13
Parra continues to impress
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/19/13
Martin just looked at that...it was right down the middle.

He wasn't like this pre injury though.
He's gone from pretty athletic big man to anchor pants in the matter of one injury.

Did you see the replay of the base running by Votto?
Re: Reds vs Pirates 7/19/13
Votto has been very gun shy since he hurt his knee.......
