Votto cracked that thing, Rolen did too but only warning track power.

Very nice play on the bunt by Votto.

99F high in NY today with 82F low tonight, and about 94F when Joey hit it into the apple. The temps have helped the Votto and Pagan HRrs fly out tonight!

Do you think that ball goes out in Seattle with the weather that was there when the Reds were?

It is still 89F in NY. Do you think Cordero will still be scared to throw strikes inside in the 9th?

Not a bad night for Votto. 3-4, 2 HR, 2B, BB.

Nice job by Joey going the other way with the pitch after his near 3rd HR!

Francouer's arm a bit better than Bruce's good one -- Votto out by quite a bit.

Not sure what the point of these statements are. Why compare HR's from different ballparks. That 2nd HR of Votto's was still hit about 420 ft.

mhs95...yes

NOthing at all chincy about that HR......completely killed...you saw Votto's face after he hit it

Jeff Francoeur's arm....WOW...he may not have turned into the palyer many thought offensively....his arm in a complete weapon...would love to see him pitch in mop up time....would not like to bat against it

Trying to get to 3rd with one out to score on a SF. He probably didn't remember the scouting report on the Mets RF though.

Yes I saw it, but I've seen a lot of hitters think they hit it way out, and then it didn't turn out that way and came down inside the park.

Very tough play made well by Rolen. Cabrera was no help because of the lefty hitter.

Hell of a win by the Reds.

If Votto isn't in the all-star game I will murder whoever makes it over him.

So you think that many times they give "the pose" without really thinking in their heart that they killed the ball?
