I think you're assuming right:https://twitter.com/ctrent



Jay Bruce had started the last 90 games, and in 20 games this month, was hitting .192/.289/.315 with 2 HR



Correct. Bruce No. 1 at 1156.1, Votto 3rd at 1139.1 RT “@eGildenblatt: @ctrent I believe he leads the MLB in innings played, too.”

IMO Bruce is the only guy we have that can start 155+ games without seeing much need for a day off. To me Votto and Phillips should have 2 scheduled days off each month from June on with 1 each in April and May. That would give them 152 starts and they could PH. I believe Votto is so intense that it really weighs on him. Neither had an ASB and Votto has more lapses than any superstar I can remember.

Choo is doing well holding up.....hopefully he can maintain through the last 5 weeks and then also the playoffs.

I'd much rather see Paul in LF, especially against Peralta.

Maybe Hannahan can actually do something besides taking a walk...one of these days.

At least we have someone on the mound who probably won't feed Davis a steady diet of heaters...even if Hanigan keeps calling for them.

Good call Dusty. I was just commenting on this the other day. Long overdue for Jay to get a day off. Hopefully Dusty gave him those instructions "don't even dress...don't even THINK about baseball". A true day off.

What I wouldn't have done is give Frazier the day off as well. 1, not both.

That play was more of a hit than the one they awarded Bruce later in the game. Phillips had to make a VERY quick transfer to even have a shot at him. I thought Brandon's was an error, but close enough to go either way.

And it was 10x less of an error than the one poor ol' Frazier got charged with. You get the ball to 1B in the air = not an error on you.

But I agree, the science of mlb official scorer's = whack. It has really deteriorated over the years.

I remember when Juan Gonzalez had about 104 RBI at the ASB and a game soon thereafter he hit a ball to the OF, guy missed it on a tough play and instead of a double/RBI it was scored an error and Juan glared and gestured up to where the scorekeeper sat
