Dusty really sucks.

Votto is the GOAT.

Reds lose 4-3.

I'm surprised to not see Choo in the lineup... I thought I heard them say during a broadcast that his goal was to play every game this season

There's a lot of innings left for him to have a chance to get in!

Looks to hit the concrete barrier behind the yellow line, IMO.

If they had a view from CF it would show it cleared the wall, hit something behind and bounced back onto the field! Did the CF camera not follow the flight of the ball?

Ruled a double, I'm still not positive.

Votto might be the first player ever to post an OBP twice his AVG...it's staggering.

After that, .289 AVG, .529 OBP...

The no HR call did not cost the Reds the run!

Yes, I know, thanks Mr. Math :)

It's about as close as it can get though, which was the point, and every time he's getting on base lately, it's a walk. When he actually swings, it's a ground out or a whiff.

lol I know.

But, realistically, if Bonds didnt do it, I dont think Votto can.

While true, it won't be because Votto doesn't have a better eye. It will be because the pitcher's start realizing that the guy MUST PROVE he is still the overall best hitter in the game. He hasn't been worth squat since the knee injury. They are pitching him like he is...but I've never seen a guy miss so many prime pitches.

He's getting pitched to like he's unstoppable...yet he has hit about 4 balls hard ALL SEASON!

I wasnt saying Bonds is the end all be all eye at the plate. But he didnt get shit to hit for half a decade. He was getting walked with the bases loaded in 2 run games. The guy was just not getting pitched to.

LOL! No it was really the fly out by Bruce that actually killed the rally. Now Frazier's HR was more like a rally killing one. But it was good in that insured an add on run in the inning and assured they would clear the #9 spot in the inning. Meso's double made a crooked number inning possible.

CF bit off more than he could chew calling for that ball that Heisey had measured!
