Votto/Cincy

[crashtestdummy_rivals61973]

Yeah, I know it's early and it's Cincinnati , but the boy's are playing good ball right now. (won 9 straight).
I actually watched a couple of innings and Votto was clutch tonight. (Votto's 1st game of the year).

It is worth seeing what Joey Votto can do for this team now that he feels healthy. He is just 1 year removed from hitting 36 HR & 99 RBIs. With the DH now, it's worth seeing what he can offer this team. Votto 2-3, HR & 3 RBIs tonight.

As a 40+ year fan, I have learned to temper my expectations. That said, it's nice to see them playing well.
Cincinnati is such a good baseball city, the fans deserve good baseball.

Playing well again tonight....up (8-2) bottom 6th.

And this one belongs to the Reds.

 

[crashtestdummy_rivals61973]

Another one for the reds.....
11 straight wins...

 

[warrior-cat]

Haven't won 11 since 1957 (in a row that is). The year I was born.

Another one for the reds.....
11 straight wins...

I listened to the last 3 innings, seems like the are playing good baseball.

 

[kyblue'92]

Amazing stat, Ian Gibaut is leading this team with 8 wins as a reliever and it is only June. Incredible!

And every game I have watched him pitch, he has sucked *** ^

 

[justa]

Same. The other night I was hoping they’d leave him in Houston.

 

[roguemocha]

Pretty sure like 2 or 3 years ago every reds fan hated Votto, said he was possibly gay and way overpaid. A little run and you all forget allllllll about that.

That weird looking celebration bat is a bit sus.

 

[roguemocha]

That’s not a GOOD statistic bubba . It means only you and one other team were ever so ****** one year and happen to get on a hot streak the next.

Sus???? It's downright perverted.

I don't think anyone is giving Votto this credit. He had the one game where he hit well, but it is the youngsters that are driving this win streak. I am ready for Votto to retire and let the new talent take over.

[crashtestdummy_rivals61973]

Well, now I'm impressed....
In the past they would have folded after being down 5-0 in the first. If you're a reds fan coming back to win 11-10 against Atlanta is cause for optimism...

 

[jtrue28]

And every game I have watched him pitch, he has sucked *** ^

Every f*cking game.

 

[WTF Cat]

"Possibly gay"?

Lol.

 

[warrior-cat]

Another exciting game by the Reds.

I am with you (another near first, we agree on something!!). Now hitting .185, and at 39 years old, what is the upside?

That being said, if you had told me that the Reds would play six games vs. Atlanta and Baltimore, two of the best teams in MLB, and go 3-3, I would have been thrilled. Truth be told, if they had any starting pitching at all, would have swept the Braves.

Get the starting pitching back in order and the Reds can make a run this year.

Lol.. the Braves rolled out bums that weekend too as their top guys (Fried and Wright) are on the DL.
