    I am ready for Byrd to start hitting. I am loving healthy Votto!

    Flat-out pitched around Bruce because they know Byrd is completely lost at the plate. No bat speed. No pitch recognition.

    Kids, that's a bad combination.

    Maybe Reds should ask Philly to pay another couple of million on Byrd's contract.

    "A bit"? Count me in for "very concerned."

    Still just 10 games. Several more weeks and I might be "very concerned".
    “I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

    Considering their front office, they would probably do it.

    LOL, Reds could threaten to give Byrd back. Really put the pressure on.

    Only joking, I'm sure Byrd will get hot at some point. Good player, allthough perhaps not the best fit given Reds OBP needs.

    Bat speed doesn't magically get better. It's not like he's hitting the ball hard right at people. He looks lost. He looks every bit of 37 and at the tail end of his career.

    Hitters go through slumps. Could just be a slump for Byrd, could be a signal the end is near. 10 games is not enough to know either way.
