Hell he should just bunt even w/ 2 outs. What's the difference?Midstate01;1468828 wrote:If a team has a lot of lefties, arroyo will get shelled.
Cozart is TERRIBLE
if a runner is on and less then 2 outs, he should be made to bunt at all times.

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!

Is there a regular player with an OB % lower than Cozart?

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.

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.
