Since his return his OPS is 1.213. I would assume that if Joey keeps raking that he will be a Red next year at a reduced salary? Sure Votto could be a piece moving forward but I’m not sure if he’ll continue at the pace he’s been on. We will see what happens but he could definitely be an option if he keeps hitting.

Seeking6 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Man I hope the rain doesn't mess with this game tonight between Reds/Orioles. Two suspect pitchers and two teams who rake in a hitter friendly ballpark. Fanduel stacks activated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Played some golf with buddies who are Cardinal fans and we got to talking about the famous Coleman walk, steal 2nd and 3rd and Tommy Herr would drive them in. Got me to thinking because Herr never hit HR's. Only twice since 1950 has a player had 100 RBI with less than 10 HR's. Herr in 85 and Molitor in 96. https://www.statmuse.com/mlb/ask?q=100+rbi+by+a+player+in+a+season+with+less+than+10+hr%2C+list+by+most+recent Speaking of stats. Heard this on DP this morning. As of right now the MLB hasn't had a no hitter. I think I heard this right they said some dude on July 9th, 1976 threw a no hitter and that was the longest start to a season ever without one. You'd figure with the way players strike out so much we'd have one by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Just got home from a church activity and turned the Reds game but it is absolutely pouring right now. Reds down 2-1 bottom of 3 and saw Williams has already walked 4 guys. 3 of them were consecutively with two outs in the second and two scored on a single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Had a 2 hour delay but I wish it would have rained it out. Orioles up 7-1 in the 5th. Our bullpen is a total wreck and we keep bringing different guys up and all of the have ERA above 5 in the minors. Eventually it is just going to kill any momentum we had in the winning streak. Besides Diaz, Sims, Farmer and Young the rest of the bullpen is garbage. Besides Abbott the rest of the starters are minor leaguers at best. Need to get Ashcraft right and get Green and Loddolo healthy Edited June 27, 2023 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 I wish Bell would stop platooning so much against LH pitchers. Tonight we didn't have Fraley, Benson and Votto in the lineup. It just seems like we struggle more against LH pitching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
