I just don't understand Suarez batting 7th in the varsity lineup and I really don't get it in the JV lineup.

Skip batting 2nd but DeJesus 8th SMH

Phillips leading off still stinks.

Billy plays good against the Pirates so we sit him. Glad I chose last night's game instead of this one.

Sitting Votto is particularly odd considering the off day tomorrow.

It is....I don't mind it but feel he'd be fine playing today.

For those of you that think that the Pirates throw at the Reds SO much, take a look at this.

Since the 2012 season:

The Reds have hit 37 Pirates batters
The Pirates have hit 34 Reds batters.

Also since the 2012 season:

The Pirates have been hit a total of 276 times.
The Pirates have hit a total of 256 batters.
The Reds have been hit a total of 202 times.
The Reds have hit a total of 223 batters.

So once again, as I said earlier, I agree that the Pirates hit too many batters. But look at the facts, they've been hit more than they have been hitting other teams. Meanwhile, its the Reds that have hit more than they get hit.

I'm not posting this to get into an argument, I just want you to see the facts. The Pirates aren't nearly as guilty as you guys think they are.

I like the Pirates.

FIFY

I guess the thinking is that Votto will get 2 days off in a row. So, that's...good...?

Prolly taking kids to the zoo tomorrow....not really a day off. I hear he has a new murse.

Look back at yesterday's thread, you are overreacting to an 'overreaction' by Reds fans that didn't happen.

I wish Iglesias could've made 1 more good pitch to get out of the 7th on his own. That was a good resume outing last night...Winning the battles to get out of the 7th would've been extra credit.

I 100% agree with how Price handled that situation. Felt perfect sitting there in the stands.

If only the Reds had a backup at first

I'm just stating facts in response to somebody saying that the Pirates hit the Reds a lot. I guess I could have worded it a little better to come off not as strong. Didn't mean for it to be 'fighting words'.

Let it go.

I still say Skippy has pictures. Has to have them. No rational human being would play Schumaker, much less bat him second unless there was no one else to play.
