Wednesday June 14, 2017 Reds @ Padres ** Trying to break the 5 game skid **

[Big Klu]

I didn't realize he hit 29 homers each of the last two seasons, I thought it was just above 20. I figured with regression as he ages and just gets on base more instead of hitting for power he wouldn't have a chance to do it, but you're right, given the pace he's been hitting them he actually could catch him.

So I take it you think he'll pass Robinson with ease?

Yes. If Votto doesn't hit another homer for the rest of this season, then he would have to average only 14 a season for the rest of his contract to catch Robbie (and that's if the Reds don't pick up his option).

Garrett keeps shaking off Tucker.

I think he catches Bench barring some major injury. Catch Bench or not IMO he is the best hitter in Reds history. Of course none of us was alive to have saw them all play. But I remember watching in 73 and from then till now he is the best for me.

Wasn't looking forward to watching Garrett pitch today, but super excited to see he's put together a great outing. I hope this gives him a confidence boost moving forward.

It's hard to get excited about any of our pitchers pitching....

George Grande's intern reads RedsZone, as he just mentioned Votto's standing on the home run list.

Man, every time Votto makes contact I either think he's hit a home run or that he's going for extra bases.

just walked in -- turned on tube and the first pitch I see -- sorry - my bad

[Big Klu]

Renfroe two-run homer. Tie game.

[Wolves198921]

Well time for another loss. 1-9 on the west coast this year

I'm pretty sure you are a twitter bot

Figures that he gives up a hit and a homer as soon as I praise him. Glad he didn't implode though.

[texasdave]

Very nice effort from Sampson. Quality start.

Man, the Reds have made some absolute bums looks good lately.

At least we're better than those Cubs hitters
