Still not understanding Votto hitting leadoff.

Batting first eliminates 1 chance of GIDP a game.
The sad thing is that's the only possible answer that makes any sense. What a child to be a fan lol

He has 2nd best OBP on the team. Seems obvious to me.
What would you say.....ya do here?

In theory.
But in practice, not so much.
It’s also falling quite a bit over the last week or so
ugg, down 3-0
Since Mr Anderson is pitching for the Brewers, the Reds should have used Agent Smith as the DH.
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
I think I’m third on the team in OBP. Not exactly an honor.

Not really the point. He gets on base more than most of the team. You aren’t going to bat Winker leadoff. People keep saying to move him 6th. I don’t really see the point of that at all. At the end of the day, he still gets on base, why wouldn’t you lead him off?

His BA and OBP are demonstrably worse when batting leadoff.

Using all the same guys:
Farmer
Winker
Castellanos
Davidson
Suarez
Moose
Ervin
Votto
Casali
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
If Phillip Ervin has to play then he needs to bat 9th

I was thinking, since he's the one guy with speed, it would make more sense for him to run in front of the bottom of the order than to get thrown out in front of the guys at the top. Stealing should be limited to the bottom half of the batting order. Why take a chance at getting caught in front of the best hitters?
