“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Why oh why is Negron ever starting? He's hitting .133 in 75 at bats with a .147 slugging pct. The time should be given to Ivan DeJesus Jr. who has only 4 less hits in 54 less at bats and has 2 homers and 5rbis more than Negron and is hitting .286 . The love for Negron by the Reds I do not understand. By now Negron and Boesch should both be at Louisville and Yorman Rodriguez given a chance in left and as the back up in cf and rf. Just doesn't make sense to me.

I'd probably bat Leake 6th in this lineup.

The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
Well it certainly is a lineup.
I was going to complain about Skip leading off, but then I realized there wasn't a better option. This roster was a train wreck before the injuries, now it is a Hindenburg reenactment.
There is literally no excuse outside of injury to play Negron over De Jesus at this point. Ridiculous.

I read in the Enquirer that while Suarez will get the most starts that Negron will still be there to make more starts. Because?.....He was so good last year that he cemented....cemented his spot on the 25 ( I mean 23 man roster since at least 2 players are always almost DL hurt but not quite)
So there you have it. A disposable player ...the last man on the bench really he should be, like Darrell Chaney was or Joel Youngblood was in 1976 has cemented himself up here. The difference was that those Reds could carry players like Ed Crosby and those aforementioned ones.
I know that if Davey and Morgan were hurt that Flynn and Chaney would have been stuck playing more back in the day... but the Reds also would have brought up someone who could hit and be at least average to above as well. Like Ray Knight or Junior Kennedy who were in the minors back in 1975-76.
We've had some very 2014-esque lineups the past couple days.
Some parts of the lineup can't be helped, this can be:
Just stop it and leave Votto 2nd.Code:Split G PA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS Batting 2nd 33 150 122 27 41 7 2 12 29 2 0 27 23 .336 .460 .721 1.181 Batting 3rd 25 106 96 6 23 5 0 1 6 3 1 10 24 .240 .311 .323 .634
Just stop it.

Aww, national FOX announcers, no Thom to kick around tonight.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Are you kidding me with this Cubs defense? God.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
That change up to Votto was wicked.
Leake will struggle with the numerous lefties.
