Davies should start regressing to his mean soon if not today. His FIP is 3.73 and his SO/9 is actually below his career average suggesting as much.

Honestly that's kind of an ugly lineup when you have to bat Grandal, Thames and Hiura in the heart of your lineup...

For the 47th time. Thom is so kind to keep count for us.
Kingspoint
05-22-2019, 01:19 PM
Votto was up there long enough to draw 8 throws...5 pitches and 3 pickoff attempts. So, even when he's making an out, he' working hard the Starting Pitcher and letting the rest of the lineup see his throws.

With the 5-0 lead, Castillo has to guard against losing focus.

Castillo gets to throw with a rare 5-run lead.

it's hard to see Votto like this. His timing is off. I'm sure he doesn't really want to talk about it right now, but he's so smart about hitting, I'd love to hear his thoughts about what's happening.

It's almost impossible to sit a Hofer, especially a 1st-year Manager. It's just not going to happen.

As much as it pains me to say it, he’s not a guaranteed HOFer yet. If he just stepped off a cliff and he’s effectively done, he’s on the outside looking in.

Yeah. Just for reference on that, his HOF monitor score over on baseball reference is 88, and it’s pretty rare for guys to get in under 100. Voters will have to start really highly valuing OBP in the next 20 years if he’s really on the decline now for him to get in. Which is not impossible obviously, but they’re not there yet.
Also hurts his case that he’s never been on a team that’s done anything in the playoffs. And he’s missed a bunch of time in his career.

I’m pretty bummed with the way Votto has been playing myself, but what’s with people complaining about Votto doing that defensive check swing thing that he does, as if it’s something new? He’s literally always done that, it’s partially why he’s been able to foul off so many pitches in the past.

If Votto can put up similar numbers to Baines' between ages 35-40 he will be in the hall of fame. Probably not too many willing to take that bet right now though.

I literally laughed at the idea of him in CF last year just because it seems like if it were a real possibility that he would have been out there already, but I’m happy to look like a fool because it really seems like he might just be able to stick there.

He’s looked pretty good to me, but UZR is tracking him as a negative fielder thus far. Not sure what part of his fielding that’s coming from.

It's somewhat understandable as they've been pitching in so many high leverage spots and come through, and it's human nature to let up a little bit when it looks like you can coast. But they need to figure out how to ignore the scoreboard.
