Last night, that might have been a strike.

Blue seems to be giving all of the borderline on the black calls.

Votto strikes out swinging. 0-0 mid 1st.

Joey Votto the last 28 days: .301/.495/.411. There's no doubt his power is down, but the announcers need to stop.

Bumgardner still has the no hitter intact.

Needed good Arroyo to show up regardless of what Bumgarner does. I still think we can get to Bumgarner tonight.

I know all knee injuries are different, but we were sold a bill of goods about this "minor" knee surgery Votto had. He might have been sold a bill of goods as well. I'm not referring to the stikeout that just happened. I'm talking about everything. Running, defense, power, etc.

Although, that being said, we have no idea if Todd was truly that way or just in the right place at the right time.
One game at the age of 12 is such a small sample size and so long ago that it is not relevant to today's game.

While I agree you want players who play well on biggers stages, we have no idea if Frazier is such a player.

Bronson's first pitch ends up near Sacramento.

Hot brownies right out of the oven. Kahlua coffee. Reds in playoffs and Drew Bees just won my fantasy football game for me. Is this heaven?

Ok, who's commentating on TNT? They're horrendous.

Did they call Arroyo the "king of the salad?" The hell?

I think Votto made it pretty clear that after the setback it was no longer minor and he was not going to be particularly near 100%
