Full disagreement. 100%.Originally Posted by alloverjr
He got beat by an All-star and MVP candidate who fouled off a series of nasty pitches and then went with a good fastball at the knees on the corner for a homerun opposite field. There are maybe three players in baseball who can do that. Maybe.
I am not seeing anything from Homer to be remotely upset about it in the first three innings.
Most guys aren't gonna blast an opposite field homer on a 98MPH fastball on the outer part of the plate. bit of an overreactionHomer really has no idea where the ball is going.
Welsh: "When Taveras and Hairston get on, they give you some speed."
Or, conversely, they bunt directly back to the pitcher and/or get picked off.
Boring.
Willy T bunts one right back to Looper. Any idea on his % of success when he bunts for a hit? Low I am sure....

Second verse, same as the first.
*sigh*
And then Votto goes yard!
The 6 base runners in 3 innings aren't even a small pebble in your sandals?

Except for allowing a hit to Braden Looper.
Home run Votto!
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
No. A few flares, a few close pitches. Unlike you, friend, I don't wig over normal innings like that from pitchers.The 6 base runners in 3 innings aren't even a small pebble in your sandals?
If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon.
It's so sad...It's Votto and BP and then 7 other guys on this team, offensively.
While I don't expect miracles, I sure would like to see Stubbs & Heisey patrolling the OF for the next couple of weeks. At least give us something to enjoy watching.
32% (Which is higher than I was expecting). His career average is about 47%.
Hey..
I'm not a lumberjack, or a furtrader,
and I don't live in an igloo, eat blubber, or own a dogsled,
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally, or Susie from Canada,
although I'm sure they're really really nice.
I have a Prime Minister, not a President.
I speak English and French, not American,
and I pronounce it about, not aboot
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack;
I believe in peacekeeping, not policing;
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal
a tuque is a hat,
a chesterfield is a couch,
and it is pronounced zed, not zee, zed!
Canada is the second largest land-mass,
the first nation of hockey,
and the best part of North America!
MY NAME IS JOE(y Votto), AND I AM CANADIAN!
Thank you.

Characterize Homer's performance however you'd like but don't characterize me as a biased reactionary.
