    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!

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

    Swing the fucking bat Votto

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

    I'd be interested to see how many looking k's Votto has had lately...seems like every at bat i've seen of his he's looked at strike 3

    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.

    Yep, he's 4th
  • Azubuike24
    Jimmie Foxx, Stan Musial in the mix. Paul Waner maybe.
  • Azubuike24
    Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson too. Some huge OBP's back then.

    Kinda like the Reds

    Not bad...but I prefer the general.
  • Ironman92
    Again, like Latos but unlike Leake....Dusty with 2 outs lets Bronson hit with a RISP and a 3 or greater run deficit.
  • Ironman92
    Saunders wasted about 6 pitches after his error....but still only 65 pitches thru 5

    Even wih two outs, Bronson had success with that strategy.
  • Ironman92
    Bronson is now the Reds all-time leader in HR allowed with 236....surpassing Tom Browning

    The comeback is on

    3-1
