Lets hope he doesn't pull a Kemp...
I guess whenever Hank Aaron was beaned, he played the next day.
Baker is a bad joke.
Still, it's Jocketty's call.
Nice to have Votto, and Cozart back.
Looks like a winner. Also, Kemp had a hamstring. So it's going to be hard for Votto to pull a Kemp.
So if the doctors said there's no reason he can't play, why are you wanting him to not play? The hit to the head was not a direct shot. If it had been, it wouldn't have gone 30 rows up into the crowd. It was a scary play, but if Cozart passes the tests and is cleared, there's no reason for him not to be out there. As a matter of fact, I'd rather him be out there as quick as possible, because I'm sure there will be some mental hurdles to overcome in terms of digging in at the plate.

It isn't on Dusty or Walt, the Reds employ people to make these kinds of decisions. The one thing that does surprise me from Dusty is that he didn't give him the extra day, that's usually the routine I thought.
If the guy says he's good to go and passes the battery of tests he's given, I see no point in sitting him. Catchers routinely take dings similar to what Cozart got last night, or even worse, and don't miss a pitch.
