    Obnoxious Cubs fans in Vegas taunting Votto. He singled anyway.
    “I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

    CTrent just posted that he is having long conversations with fans. Hope he's trolling them

    Double for Winker to go with his HR. Will be very interesting to see what happens if he and Ervin light it up in Louisville and Duvall and Schbler perform at about their 2016 level.

    If that happens, you gotta put the OBP in the everyday lineup, and leave the power on the bench for when it's needed. Seems like a good problem to have.

    Is Ervin strictly a corner OF at this point?

    Wondered this myself, he still plays some center but mostly starts in the corners the last two years. I think he'd at least be a more viable CF option than Schebler

    You could hear Joey on the broadcast say "You're lucky there are kids around" and "Let's talk after the game". Love it

    Rookie's line: 4.2 innings, 6 hits, 5 runs, 3 earned runs, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts. Big damage was a two run HR, errors abound. But I love that BB/K ratio.

    I could get excited about Winker-Hamilton-Schebler with Ervin as 4th OF if Ervin can prove himself a bit at AAA. Could turn into a nice little problem.

    I've been listening, and he's had some really rough defense behind him. The inning with the 2 unearned runs, he took it upon himself to finally just strike out the last batter rather than watch his defense self-destruct. Sounds like he's handled the adversity quite well today, all things considered.

    Yes, its only ST, yes, I've had a few Sunday night Scotland pints, but that power that everyone said had disappeared sure seems to be coming back.

    If I'm being honest, I'd go with Rookie in the starting rotation purely because IMO we've got the least to lose with him. All the others I feel we have so much hope for but with Rookie is 'we expect him to be OK, but if he's bad, no one will be surprised'

    Winker to the track but barely stayed in the yard.

    I can go either way on it. I think he's close to ready, but could use some more seasoning in AAA. But we do need a starter now and he's not a bad "learning on the job" candidate.

    I agree, in no way am I saying he is an OD starter, but I think he is proving people that were using his power as excuse for not calling him up, wrong.
