Why isn't Votto in both lineups?

Do they pay Votto to duplicate himself?

Do they pay Votto to duplicate himself?

I'm been told they do actually.

[wheels]

a billion dollars for a number two hitter? Trade him NOW!!

gO rEdZ!

[JaxRed]

Scottsdale is the Giants, not the Rockies.....

[klw]

Why isn't Votto in both lineups?

One game starts at 4:05 while the other is at 4:10. If both games started at the same time he can play in both but with the slightly disparate times there would be issues with the space time continuum.

Votto!!!!!!!!!!! Walks on 5 pitches.

1-0 Reds after Bruce's sac fly.

A case study on why Votto shouldn't go up there hacking at pitches out of the zone and take a walk if that's what he is given.

DeSclafani getting dinked and dunked to death.

DP to end the 3 run inning.

[Tom Servo]

DeSclafani had 2 scoreless innings but last year's best offense got to him in the 3rd. Walked Trout to load the bases and then Pujols delivered a two run single, followed by an RBI single by Aybar to put LAA up 3-1. Gets CJ Cron to hit into a double play though to end the frame.

Holmberg has 2 scoreless innings so far, allowing 2 hits and striking out 3.

[Red Raindog]

Skip lines one off the wall --- didn't see that coming

then Skip(worth) homers -- time warp?

followed by Bourgeois --

[_Sir_Charles_]

Skipworth with a 2 run dinger to tie it up 3-3

[_Sir_Charles_]

Back to back now makes it 4-3. Borguios dinger. And yes, I"m sure I butchered that name.

LOL. Not even close. Bourgeios. Wow.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Badenhop not exactly shining in ST. Yikes.

[_Sir_Charles_]

4-4. Player nailed at the dish though.

Obviously he's just working on some things. :drink:

Probably just the victim of some Bad n hops in the infield

[757690]

Juan Duran hits a walk off, three run, game winning homer, which I am guessing will be the highlight of his professional baseball career.

[Red Raindog]

Obviously he's just working on some things. :drink:

He's working on his long relief role --- and making the job look like it is his..... :devil:

[texasdave]

Badenhops makes for bitter beer. :barf:

Maybe not. Plus plus power and will play all year at 23, still growing into his body. The postgame quote from Jay Bell is encouraging.

[Tony Cloninger]

Badenhop not exactly shining in ST. Yikes.

He is clearly injured. Anyone the Reds sign LT from their own or from outside is a walking injury apparently.
