    Go Reds...

    Is it just me or does anyone else just have a LOT more optimism w/ JB called up and the temptation of Patterson gone?

    Apparently, the 7th spot belongs to Votto.

    Bruce's eye will take care of itself. He satisfied my magic marker of a PA/BB ratio of 12 or better in the minors (Bruce was 11 and change). I expect him to develop into an 80 walk/season hitter quite soon.

    If Bruce goes 0 for his next 10 he'll still have a .375 OBP.
    Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

    He really has a terrible eye at the plate.

    OBP still at 1.000.

    You're assuming he's EVER going to make an out.

    My oh my, on-base percentage is a beautiful thing, isn't it? I never knew Dusty could ever field a lineup that could get its first two guys on base in the first inning in back-to-back games.

    Dusty must be in denial with the base clogging that's going on.
