  No Leake...no win.

  Reds win a close one. 11-1, Votto hits 12 solo homers.

  Did I mention I fucking hate the Braves? Pitching match-ups?
  
  Latos vs Hudson - Reds
  Arroyo vs Medlen - Braves
  Bailey vs Minor - Even
  Cingrani vs Teheran - Even
  
  I'd guess the series is a split, with the Reds winning game 1, Braves game 2, Braves game 3 and Reds game 4. Of course, when we re-visit this on Sunday, I'll be completely wrong.

  Reds will win 3 of 4 and get some breaks.

  There's a reason why, in the Sheep League, Votto is undefeated in match-ups with Liam Neeson.

  Reds get swept in a 4 game series right before the ASB and feel shitty about themselves just like in Philly in 2010.

  I literally don't know how in Dusty's mind, he justifies putting cozard at the 2 spot every day. It's mind boggling

  I have a couple friends and a family member who say "Cozart isn't the problem..shortstops aren't supposed to be a huge production position offensively."
  
  Idk if it's just the Cinci media backing Dusty or what..but it's insanity!

  Hanigan sent to the DL. Corkster called up.

  No one expects huge production from Cozy....but we all expect him to bat 7th, 8th or 9th.

  Yeah, that's what I'd say is the thing. Bringing out a solid/good defensive ss every day when he's betting .230-40 isn't an issue. It's the placing him in the #2 spot instead of 7-8 that's more of the problem because when you have guys like Votto, Phillips, Bruce in the 3-4-5 spots, it's usually nice to have them come to the plate in an RBI situation.
• se-alum

  

  I wouldn't mind them experimenting with moving Votto to #2, Phillips to #3, and Bruce to #4. As a starting pitcher, it would have to suck battling Votto and Choo back-to-back in the order.

  Cozart continues his streak of being fucking terrible.

  Literally all he had to do was hit a fly ball. That's it.
• wildcats20

  

  Hey hey, looky there.
• wildcats20

  

  BP with ANOTHER bad baserunning play.
• se-alum

  

  Nice way to kill a rally, christ.
• Midstate01

  

  Should be bases loaded 1 out. Bp tries to do the same thing he did yesterday with the Deek. Doesn't work. Then Frazier swings at ball 4.
• se-alum

  

  This team is so frustrating and unwatchable right now.
• Azubuike24

  

  Score 2...give up 2.
  
  Both pitchers look terrible.
  
  That means the Braves will win like 11-2.
• Midstate01

  

  That ball 4 pitch to McCann was a strike. Throws the next pitch to uggla in exact same spot and its a strike. You could see latos say it when he turned around too
• Midstate01

  

  Jesus meso. Are these guys fuckin retarded??
