Stubbs stole 100 bases with the Reds the last three years and was caught 23 times. You can complain about a lot of things with Stubbs, his baserunning isn't one of them.
The Rockies are beating the Pirates 4 to 1 in the bottom of the 8th inning.
The Pirates lost to the Rockies 4 to 2.
I'm a baseball geek and admit it. I am presently 150 games through a replay of the 2012 Reds on the APBA Baseball board game. Stubbs, while hitting around .220 and seldom walking has been effective. He steals at a high rate, plays a terrific CF and as stated scores runs (speed kills) when he is on base. As well he has decent power, not as bad a player as he was made out to be. People were most frustrated with the strikeouts and the lack of bunting ability.
KC Royals have gone 9-1 and gained nothing. Cleveland Indians have gone 8-2 and lost a game. Divisionally speaking.
Wil Myers is awesome.
I would have gone with loathsome, but, yeah.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Cards/LA on ESPN tonight 6PM EST. LA has not lost a road game since the depression, and Wainwright has been futile since the AS break!
