Anyone else becoming concerned with Votto

[Always Red]

i think a thread should be made like this in regards to the Bullpen because Votto is a monster again

haha- I came here looking for that very thread!

Just give it a minute.

Maybe Chapman and Votto could be packaged together for something less worrisome or troubling to the eyes?

Speaking of troubling to the eyes and tradebait etc, Billy Butler looks like he ate Billy Butler.

Votto didn't even get a hit tonight. What's wrong with him?



Oh and I'm here for the lulz

I've seen 2 hitters choke up with 2 strikes on them- 2 in the last 15 years....one was Bonds who was juiced out of his mind and the other is Votto....i do wonder if more players should try it. Maybe being really strong and having a really good eye allows for them to do so.

Sometimes when a player attempts something out of the norm (with regard to his approach) and to the extreme -he can gain an advantage.

Lastly, I've never seen Bruce go to left field as much as he is this year- is this a Votto influence? Anybody heard anything?

Noticed that Jay Bruce was choking up with two strikes, once, yesterday. Interesting.

I hope Jay Bruce writes a book someday about his education as a hitter in his years with the Reds. Came up when Griffey and Dunn ruled. Then came Votto.

I'm still concerned about Votto, especially at the plate. If he keeps hitting like this, no one is going to pitch to him at all in the second half.

Joey did only get on base 1 time yesterday. He's slumping hard.
