7/8/12 - Reds @ SD Fathers

Billy about to bat in futures game.espn2

after the commercial?

Yonder hits into a DP. He's young, and he plays at Yosemite, but so far this series he looks like a good contact, good eye, hitter with little power.

Maybe he's just decided that swinging for the fences at Petco is futile.

But he's far from a classic first baseman. I still think Grandal is the bigger loss to the Reds in the trade.

Can you say Lyle Overbay?

[kaldaniels]

after the commercial?

I believe so.

[Kc61]

I believe so.

Yes, the announcer just called him the fastest man in America.

Stubbs strikes out for the 3rd time today.

The unDimaggio.

Wow. Maybin just robbed Votto on a spectacular catch. 3-0 Reds mid 4th.

[_Sir_Charles_]

WOW! What a catch! Robbed Votto of a dinger. That was one HELLUVA catch!

[Kc61]

Billy H grounded to first and I missed the great catch by Maybin.

How many posters think there will be changes made over the All Star break for the Reds? I do.

[Big Klu]

Jay will leave them all in the dust before he's done.

I would be surprised. I look for Bruce to pass Phillips and finish in the mid- to high 200's, maybe even into the 300's. But Votto will likely be the Reds' all-time home run leader when he retires, provided he stays for the entirety of his contract.

When Tom said "did he make the catch?" my reaction was "Don't be silly; nobody could make a catch like that."

If the Reds are going to trade for a bat it either has to be a CFer or they're going to have to move Bruce to CF because taking Ludwick's bat out of the lineup right now doesn't make a lot of sense.

I think Walt will makes some moves at the trade deadline but I am not sure much will happen over the break. One change that I do think is coming soon is Phillips going back to leadoff.

I don't know. Bruce is more of a HR hitter than Votto is. Votto's the much better hitter, but I think Bruce will end up as the all-time Reds leader.
