Hamilton can't hit lefties either, I'm told...
I would really like the Reds to learn to disperse their runs across 162 games instead of five.
Still, this is fun.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Votto's OPS is now 2.457!!!

Nice to Hamilton and Votto produce against a lefty....

On the positive, Votto has shown a good eye for drawing a walk against lefties, even though he struggles getting hits or hitting with power against them. So, there's hope.
But, I do wonder how many years it will take before Votto hits .250 against lefties in the Majors or has a SLG % of .470 against them. It could be several years.

I still stick to my guns when I said back in May that Votto should be the Opening Day 1B in 2008 and play every day, lefties or not.

BP nearly golfed one out WOW
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
