Volquez pitched a gem last night against the Brewers. 7 IP 3 hits 0 runs.
Let's hope he's this good when he faces the Cardinal's.

Maybe I'm being unfair but I do blame the hitting coach for a team that as a whole does not generally have "good at bats"...that is swinging at bad pitches, letting good pitches go by and generally not seeing enough pitches per AB. I've given him a pass on this for awhile but he's been here long enough. I'd sure like to see a guy like Hal McKrae, Merv Rettenmund or Mike Easler come in hereOriginally Posted by dougdirt
The hitting coach can't teach a guy how to see a breaking ball instead of a fastball. That is something that the player has to be able to figure out.
Did he have a distinct split like EdE with parallel allegations of cheating?
Don't let facts get in the way of bashing somebody.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
EE just hit #9.
Good for Edwin.. I rooting for him.

Quite the lineup.
If you look back a couple of pages I discussed EdE playing third base in a game I attended last week in Baltimore. I sat less than 50 ft from him. The dude CANNOT play 3B. He is terrible. He makes routine plays look scary.

I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
Haha I know that.
If you're going to put EE at 3B, might as well have this lineup.

Brandon Larson is always available to play 3rd.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
I had no idea what you were talking about so I went and searched the internet and found the ESPN mag article talking about the sign stealing allegations. Somehow I missed this last season.
I'm not a conspriacy theory kind of guy, but it is weird.
