didn't know the minors had any games. That the world stopped for the Reds game tonight.
Votto is in LF again today. I believe that is back to back days.
In any event, he's 1-1 with a double and a pair of RBIs.

Bruce was plunked in his 1st AB.
Cueto once again, cannot stay consistant. I wonder if he is heading into headcase territory.
Why? Because Cueto hasn't been himself this entire season for a period of time? He holds his own against AAA hitters, throws a gem then regresses? I think it is possible he is dissappointed he didn't get promoted before the season began and thus is not focused. Whether you like it or not, he hasn't been the seed of professionality that Fisher has been.
Stubbs down to .258.
Valaika 1-1 with a double.
Do we need an Aronchis vs. redszone argument in the minors updates everyday?
He looks at Reds prospects more negatively then most do. It happens. Move on.
I am not trying to start any flame war with OBM, but he has really high feelings about these prospects and he tends to act out on them, I can respect that, but I am just telling the story from my POV.
I am not saying Cueto is throwing a fit, but considering how Homer was handled last year, he may feel he deserves to be in AA and has lost focus pitching in high A. Lets take this example: Johnny goes to AAA, a level he probably isn't ready for, holds his own and goes back to high A and throws a gem. My guess is, he expects to be promoted, but it doesn't happen and he loses focus then gets beat around his next start and his k's drop again.
I don't see that as a crazy possiblity, nor is it a fact. Just a possiblity.
Chattanooga lost 5-4
