Cozart is still a rookie sometimes.

with Phillips on 1st....Pitching to Votto is our advantage...big hole on right side.

You're probably right but not much in the way of options. I actually think this is the best lineup Dusty can roll out there with what he has.

At the same time.... with our bullpen, one run means a whole lot. Not that I am all for bunting or anything, but I can see why with the Reds bullpen, you would call for the bunt late in games more than others.

I'd agree if The Reds could actually bunt. But they're god-awful at it.

Jeremy has been good, but when will they learn you can't do that to Joey. He hits no matter way arm the pitcher uses. I hope.

Agree with the first point. But that wasn't the situation. Opening up a base for Votto means walk, which defeats the purpose.

Another thing could be that we had 4 starters throw 200 innings. They were going deep, getting extra at bats where other teams were using pinch hitters.

An out means a lot with this offense, I guess is what I'm trying to say.

Votto grounds out to 2nd. Phillips avoided the tag somehow.

That is great. Phillips fell backwards and avoided the tag.

Great play by Phillips there on the bases.

This year, unusually, Joey's OPS against lefties is quite a bit lower than against righties. Over 1.000 against righties, about .880 against lefties.

No slouch against lefties, but this year more damage v. righties.

Walking Luddy to pitch to the guy who's 2-3 with a homer and hits lefties pretty well.

I'll take it.

Intentional walk to Ludwick. Make them pay Jay.

You know who can't avoid a tag? 2nd base. No reason to chase BP down there.

If Joey could run he'd have been safe too.

Intentional walk to Ludwick. Bruce's reputation is well known. Prove them wrong, Jay.

For those who whine about BP bare handing the ball aren't you glad he at least knows how to apply a tag?
