Does this one get delayed?

Has Votto been benched like last season or is he banged up? Two straight games not starting. Something is up.

I think the main reason is that the Mets are starting a LHP

The old Votto is gone. There will be flashes of what once was, but those will be further and further apart.

Joey Votto is sitting today because of a little tightness in his back, David Bell said.

[KeefeCato]

I thought there might be something going on cause he sat last night as well. Very rare for him to miss 2 straight games unless he is injured.
This answers why he didn't pinch hit last night as well.

Votto has back tightness, Bell said. Said it’s something he’s had before and they’re being safe

I tend to think you are probably right. I think we may still see some good play for stretches but probably not what we've been used to for all these many years. Age catches up to everyone. Joey's beeen terrific for a long time. He gets a pass from me if he bats .130 the rest of his career. He's given the organization a lot.

[Ron Madden]

On Tyler Mahle, David Bell expects him to be back to make one of the first few starts after the break. Mahle won’t throw for 5-to-7 days.

Joey would really benefit batting average wise next year if there is no shift. Of course every one will. But him especially. He hits a bunch of balls that would be hits with no shift.

[Ron Madden]

Alonso hits the ball Hard most of the time

[Coopdaddy67]

That's not a base hit, it's an error. He literally didn't have to move. He sidestepped it.

I may be wrong about this but I always thought a player like Votto would be one of the few that could take advantage of the shift and serve the ball to the left side for base hits. I know hitting is hard etc.

I'm on the fence. If they can get a decent B prospect for him trade him. Or maybe you package him with Castillo or Mahle. Could always negotiate a deal to bring him back in 2023.

Not sure it’s deniable that hitters use different strategies at the plate. Some sell out for power. Some always pull the ball. Some use the whole field. Some shorten up.

Drury seems to have a balanced approach, makes contact but still generates enough power.

I believe all that's needed is forcing batters to stay in the box. Watched a game this weekend where a batter would swing, momentum taking him to other batters box, then he slowly walked around the umpire. Took him almost 30 seconds just to get back in the box.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the pitch clock applies to the batter too. I was at a Louisville game a few weeks ago where Barrero got called out with the count 2-2 because he was fiddling around too long outside the box.

[Mutaman]

Nice back to back efforts by the rookie starters.

I’ve said it since his first game, he is a ++ defender, that his career will benefit greatly from. Just attacks the ball off the hill.

Per the Mets broadcast, neither the Reds or the Mets have lost in extras this season.

Because there's zero way to know where it crossed the bag.

Because that’s the rule. The foul/fair call is not reviewable.

I think you can call fair or foul once it passes bag, just not before.

[Reds Freak]

Don't get how you allow a double down the line there.

That's what I said. Solano should have been playing a step off the line. Tough to turn two there but should have been an out and on no planet should have been a double.

I thought it was fair. Doesn't matter where it lands, just has to cross the bag fair.

[malcontent]

He should be ashamed to cash the checks, IMO. I felt the same way about Akiyama.

And that still doesn't mean I feel for the owners.

I think you can call fair or foul once it passes bag, just not before.

Fair/foul is reviewable only if the ball first lands at or beyond the standing position of the first or third base umpire.

Anything that first lands in front of the ump is not reviewable.

I’m going to try and save six hours of my life by avoiding the double header tomorrow.

I doubt I’ll succeed for all six hours, but I’m going to try.

At least I have to work during the first one.

Baby steps.

They cost money.

Not when you develop them.

Terrible loss. For sure. I lost the feed after it was 8-3. Listened to mr lacure and had to turn it off. There is no way to spin this team. It’s horrible. Hoping for better days, but I’m about out of hope.

Ashcraft may be a diamond as is Lodolo

Guys the team will be better tomorrow.

Edit:. Not tomorrow, next year.

Remember when Cordero was signed. The posters were why bother spending money when you’re not a winning team. Well it was important to help win games and part of the learning how to win concept. Cordero and Weathers may have saved ugly but they came through a lot.

The most upsetting part of this is we didn’t get to hear Diaz’ walk up music.

“I thought it was foul,” Lindor said of Marte’s chopper past Donovan Solano’s outstretched glove. “I asked the third-base umpire and he said it was right over the bag. The other team didn’t complain, so they must have gotten it right. Knowing their manager, [David Bell], he would have gotten tossed if he thought it was foul.”

The replay showed it not going over the bag, but Larkin says it did go over bag right away as replay shows differently. Kind of like certain politicians

I just saw the replay of the ball down the 3rd base line. It looked foul to me but it was really hard to tell from the video I saw. I can't see why they could not review this type of play. All New York would have to do is blow up the image and track to the bag and just beyond. Also most of the time these are called foul when they hit in foul territory like this one did. This is a terrible umpire crew so its no surprise they botched up this call.

The Reds have their Closer they just don't know it. His name is Greene.
