Wow.

Not sure he will figure out his issues there.  A stint in the minors is what is needed but I am not sure he has any options left and they don't usually do that to a veteran.

Probably needs DFA’d.

I have a friend who would probably throw a party if that happened. Dude's just had a lot of injuries and is obviously no longer major league talent. Seems like he can only throw batting practice pitches now.

Too early for that. With the investment in him, what they owe him they are going to try anything.  BP is the next step.

Red something this AM the reds are serious about trading Scooter by the deadline......

ROIDS!

Heard em talking about him on sportstalk the other day. Dude could rake but missed I think on avg 38 games a year.  

Dude was like 165lbs and injury prone but man could he play.   Marge Schott even had a pet name for him....

Reds get a Senzle-esque player in the first round and then a monster HR hitter outta Illinois for another pick

Anyone see the Votto-Letterman-Seinfeld stuff from last week? Pretty great stuff. Votto is the GOAT.

Yeah, that was hit a ton. 

The results of the start weren't good, but I'm glad to see Desclafani finally make it back to the mound. Hopefully he can get back to what he was before the injuries.

This is a lol play all the way around. Shitty fielding, followed by hilarious base-running.

I’m not watching link...I watched it live. Schebler needs to keep his linebacker body away from Hamilton.

Funn enough very next baserunner also fell going around 2nd...must’ve been an issue because it was the exact same place

Votto started 21 games to start the season before hitting a HR.....now he’s on a 26 game starts without a HR (98 AB)

Not good enough

I was just reading about Homer Bailey stopping his re-hab. Then I read his contract status. Yikes!
