Cozart is TERRIBLE

if a runner is on and less then 2 outs, he should be made to bunt at all times.
Hell he should just bunt even w/ 2 outs. What's the difference?

All the lefties are making it very tough on Bronson. Situational hitting killing the Reds still. 3 hits in the first and no runs due to a very poor situational AB by Cozart which took the guts out of a possible big inning! Anytime you swing at pitch when you have no strikes you should average 4 hits per 10 swings. 4 hits and 6 outs is not good enough. I'm betting the Reds average less than 2 hits out of 10 swings on no strike counts! Fouls are bad for the offense, unless you have a 2 strike count, then they are very good!

Not sure but can you name 3 of the top 5 OB% players in the history of baseball?

Not sure how many AB you are dealing with but Ted Williams, Babe Ruth and Bonds?

When down, I think Votto takes the right approach. Lets get real. When he's leading off the inning, I'd rather him K looking for a walk.

Where I disagree with his approach is when he's got guys on. Whe he's got a man on or more, he needs to be looking for doubles and homers, even if that means a lower batting AVG and OBP.

1000 career games played and at-bats.

Ted and Babe are correct.

Bonds is 6th

Gehrig is just above Bonds and Hornsby.....unless you are going back to the 1800's then they get moved down a few.

Gehrig was my 4th guess and he would've made it.

Again, like Latos but unlike Leake....Dusty with 2 outs lets Bronson hit with a RISP and a 3 or greater run deficit.
