Well, why wouldn't those things apply to baseball? Many baseball players have said they're not comfortable at certain spots in the order. Are you saying you don't believe them? Why wouldn't human psychology apply to them too?

For what its worth..
This is an internet bulletin board, not a formal debate or a court of law or a medical board. If people want to throw out their opinions about Kremchek whether they are half-, fully-, or not-at-all- baked, seems that this is the place. I mean, what the hell? Just because you don't know what you're talking about has nothing to do with it. It's the internet. Blather away.

Ugh admins close this mess of a thread. So far off topic...
Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
If they throw me in a dark room and make me use an abacus, yes, I wont be as happy as productive.
But it's also possible that Zack Cozart does not care if he's batting 1st or 7th... he certainly has not had an approach that would suggest he is comfortable at the top of the order, nor have the other guys who have been continuously misplaced. Statistical analysis over large samples can be used to mostly prove whether this stuff exists within a material amount.
Anyways, I think other are right. This isn't going anywhere. Of course everyone can believe what they want, but as for all, this is a discussion board, there wouldn't be much discussion if there wasn't disagreement....
I don't think a relief pitcher who "gets the job done more often than not" should be praised simply because he's beter than 50/50. I think a higher standard needs to be reached.
A division contender with an elite relief core should not be using a "slightly above average" reliever in high leverage situations. Ondrusek deserves a spot in a major league bullpen. He does not deserve a spot at the back end of a winning ballclub's bullpen.
Can we get this thread back on track? This is for discussion of Votto's injury and recovery, not Baker's managerial style or the analysis of multiple truths.
If you want to discuss Baker, there are a number of threads to do that in. Please take that discussion elsewhere.
If Votto is out longer with leg problems and they have to amputate, what should his prosthesis be?
I say, an alligator. Think of how many bases he could steal because the 1st baseman would be afraid to hold him on!

I'm really disappointed to see that such a lengthy debate went on in this thread on a completely unrelated topic when there are numerous other threads (or even a new one) that could have been used for that discussion.
I am also disappointed the discussion continued even after a poster or two pointed this out. At some point, you need to be able to self police yourself. It should have never required a moderator telling the discussion to cease in this thread to realize a thread on Joey Votto's injury is not the place to have a lengthy discussion on Dusty's managerial ability.

Votto out taking grounders today... But, won't be making the trip to Philly with the team. So, maybe a return of Aug 24th.

Jim Day said on the air that he doesn't think we should expect to see Votto until at least September 1st.
As long as it takes to get him 100%, but damn this is taking a lot of time. Can't wait (hopefully) to see Phillips, Votto, the hot Ludwick, Bruce in the 2-5 spots.
I have a feeling that his insider for this information was Miguel Cairo

You can laugh....I am not. But not mad at you.....They are that afraid of releasing Cairo? How pathetic is that?I have a feeling that his insider for this information was Miguel Cairo
I mean......what is he supposed to do? Never slide again? How can it be this bad?
Never made sense of the team to predict only an added week when most scopes typically take 3 weeks or so to get back from
