    They have an off day tomorrow, sitting Votto today seems very stupid and very Bell like. Especially after he botched last night’s game.

    At this point, every single game is as close to a must win as you can get. Having Naquin and Schrock in the same starting lineup is just gross.

    Votto has carried this team since the Allstar Break and just had one of the greatest weeks a player has every had. He's also 37 years old and can probably use an extra day off.

    This isn't the NFL, as much as people want to think it is. They still have 57 games to play, or basically the same number of games they played all of last season.

    If you feel Votto needs a day off, why not put one of Barnhart or Stephenson at first?

    Max Schrock? Really? Aye aye aye


    5-9 in the lineup is gonna be pretty brutal, especially considering The Mets have Stroman going.

    Nothing says playoff push like Max Schrock playing 1st and batting 5th. David Bell is a clown

    So if the brainiac insists on giving his hottest hitter the day off during one of the hottest streaks of his career, at least play Stephenson at first and catch Tucker....”but no, I’ll bat Max Schrock 5th.”

    7 game deficit in the central, and 4 games behind a very talented Padres team for the final WC spot. I maintain that these games are as close to must win as you can get.

    I don't have a problem with giving Votto a day off, but man that's a rough looking lineup. Can't wait for Cast, Moose, Senzel, and Barrero to be added to the roster.

    So regulars shouldn't get anymore days off until they get caught up? That seems like a good way to wear out your team, but ok.

    I’m much less upset by Votto getting a day off than I am by his replacement being Max Schrock and not one of Barnhart or Stephenson.

    Do not understand that at all.

    You have to play your best players at this point. A tired Votto is better than anybody we have on the bench fully rested. It would be different in Cast was playing and Moose could play first. We’ve got too many guys out and too far out in the standings to be resting people.
