“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Smith was clearly brought up here for no purpose other than to not try very hard at winning games. 110 pitches to this lineup is almost as bad as the opposing pitcher to a Reds lineup without Joey Votto in it.
I can see a pitcher burning you for one hit but 3? Head up your rear does not cover those sequences.
How many times a week does Phillips get hurt. Every week it's whack a mole with how he will get hurt and then return like Willis Reed (In Thom's eyes)
Finally.... at least once/twice a month you get a Votto is in a fog description of his play. Is this just hyperbole or does he mentally check out sometimes?
OK...all frustrations out. Onwards with any false hope of going anywhere. I mean they will take 4 or 5 out of the next 6 games to have Bob C continue to want to play this charade right?
Too many fancy coffee shops and designer clothes stores in New York.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Hope I'm not repeating something here, but Eric Campbell is on base throughout the series with walks??? This guy is like 7 for 60 or something. Can't hit. So who scouts for the Reds?

You're facing a team where the best hitter is hitting .259 in a huge ballpark. Common sense Strategy: Don't let Curtis Granderson beat you and make everyone else hit the ball. Result: 5 walks and one HB. And they pitched to Granderson every time he came up.
Not sure why professional athletes would come into NYC and play like they were in a hurray to catch their plane. But the boys did it for the second year in a row. I'm really down on these guys right now. A real dismal effort.
