SKip in CF makes me want to stab baby penguins. He likely won't have a play that he can't get to that matters and I think we'll win regardless and he likely will contribute offensively.

I know BHam needs a day off every so often, I just wish he didn't because he is so fun to watch at so many different times in a game.

Correct move by Price to sit Hamilton against the knuckleball. No reason to louse up the young player's timing and improved hitting. Let the veteran guys deal with RA Dickey.

I never agreed with giving star players Sunday home games off, outside of injury. Too many fans can only make it to weekend games because of work or living too far away, and they come to see stars.

Ok, I know that was extremely petty :) Carry on.

Way back in 1977, the family went to see the Reds play the Expos, for the sole reason of seeing Tony Perez again. It was a Sunday, and the Expos gave him the day off. We were none too happy.

Hamilton's OK. Price wanted to play Schumaker 3-for-8, Ludwick 3-for-11 v. Dickey. "And a day off won't hurt Billy," Price said #reds


Also,

Bruce: 3-9, 2B, HR
Cozart: 2-6, 2 2B, BB
Frazier: 3-7, HR, BB
Pena: 1-3, BB
Phillips: 3-11, 2 2B
Votto: 2-3, HR


All small samples, but at least encouraging.

I finally get to make it to a game once Billy has started to figure it out and this is what I end up with...

At least I get to see Cueto dominate

A good argument FOR playing Billy today is that Francisco and Encarnacion are the corner infielders for the Jays. Both have had some defensive issues, neither is speedy, although JF does have a good arm at third. Bunts might play.

Main thing is that Cueto gets a nice quota of ground balls against this lineup.

Refresh my memory....what exactly are Francisco's defensive issues at third? Pretty good range and a cannon for an arm. I've never understood the knocks on Juan's defense. His K's and lack of BB's....sure.

If votto stretches for the ball it's an easy out call.

He did stretch a bit.....but rarely towards the flight of the ball. He was also on the back 1/3 of the base, had he been on the front 3rd it would've been conclusive. If he had his other foot on the front of the base and stretched towards the throw he would've been out by two feet.

I blame whoever doesn't correct him.

I imagine Joeys been instructed not to stretch too far given his recent injuries. I don't know that, but it wouldn't surprise. Either that or it hurts too much to do so.

EVEN if he is advised not to stretch ( cannot fathom this unless it's Freddie Freeman style)....if he is on the front of the bag his reach like he did would've been 6-10 inches closer......that was more than the difference. God forbid he put the correct foot on the base allowing for a much easier and longer stretch
