8/7/17 Padres @ Reds

[Chip R]

Tonight's Joe Nuxhall Star of the Game is Joey Votto, who was 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a 2-run HR, 3 RBI's, 2 runs scored, and a BB. Joey's homer ties him with Ted Kluszewski for fifth place on the Reds all-time home run list with 251.

I do believe with that HR, Votto is now the all time HR leader at GABP.

Joey just dropped a "randomness of the game" reference.

The man is one intelligent hitter

He's got decent power. Depending on the makeup of the team I wouldn't mind him as a backup IF next year.

He is a true warrior/philosopher.

On pace for 67-95.

What I liked about that interview was Joey giving props to Kiv coming off the bench with his performance tonight, talking about his grandslam and how it was hit...

Votto will someday be a hitting coach and manager.

Joey Votto on passing Jay Bruce for most HR at GABP (tongue-in-cheek, for the record): “I don’t care. He’s in the past. Bye bye, Jay.”

I legit LOLed

I can't wait for Price's jackassery to be in full force tomorrow when Kivlehan is in RF.

And people will defend it.

He will be too rich to do that. He will go on a world tour of fancy coffee's instead.

I'm glad I watch the Padres telecast. Thom is just getting worse and worse. He should off to do football soon shouldn't he?

I felt like Price was doing some job saving by taking Adleman out in the 5th. He knows he needs as many wins as he can to try to save his job. Hopefully it won't work. Time to move on from him.

Just think, three more big games against these same Padres. I just can't wait!

You said more than that about Duvall, but I'm not going to argue about it. Suffice it to say, while he should get some more rest, I agree, it's also understandable that Price wants him in the lineup every day.

Particularly with Schebler out, the Reds very much need Duvall's power in the lineup if they are going to occasionally be competitive.

You have me confused with someone else. All I said was Duvall could use more rest and that when Schebler came back instead of sitting him more you could use Winker in LF and sit rest give a day off? Take your pick. It all meant the same. I did not say bench him or imply that. People say Price needs to figure out how to use all 4 out there. Having Duvall rest a little more is another way of doing it. I don't know what more I implied other than that but that's all I said. So instead of Duvall starting 155-159 games it might be 150. He can still be your best bat off the bench or in a double switch.

I think you owe me another 20 bucks just in general wrongness
