  Yeah, but the base runners have to know where the infielders are on every pitch.
• Ironman92

  

  Many much bad feelings here
• Ironman92

  

  Gritty bunch of fucks.....they just don't chase. A bunch of Votto's
• Ironman92

  

  Money pitch

  Fuck!

  Still not sure where Ball 3 missed.
• Ironman92

  

  They won't chase....a playoff built team that works about everything. Homer is a bad pitch from a nightmare.
• Ironman92

  

  Chris has to stop using BABIP stat for Homer if he's not going to mention his line drive %

  It's sad when you see AAA hitter after AAA hitter in the lineup. How does Soto even have a job? Let alone start a game?
• Ironman92

  

  Thank You weak hitting SS with poor plate presence
• Ironman92

  

  Not too bad considering
• SportsAndLady

  

  This team hits when there is 2 outs, or we're up or down 6+ runs. But when it's close, and they need runs, they won't score.
  
  Fucking hate it
• Ironman92

  

  Big CF....Hamilton and Heisey both get that ball. CF might be Skip's only OF position. I prefer more range in CF, rather my RF be weaker
• Ironman92

  

  Fortunate

  Votto is one of the better scoopers at 1st
• Azubuike24

  

  Runs scored (120, 24th in MLB)
  OBP (.323, 13th in MLB)
  
  Without Votto, this team is probably dead last.
• Ironman92

  

  Bailey gets to the quality start but his WHIP and peripherals are not like last year

  Everyone on here ripped him last year, but he was 16th in MLB in WHIP (1.12) despite having an 11-12 record. Names ahead of him...
  
  Fernandez
  Kershaw
  Harvey
  Scherzer
  Darvish
  Bumgarner
  Strasburg
  Wainright
  Sale
  Lee
  Price
  Grienke
  Minor
  Iwakuma
  Zimmerman
  
  Most of those guys would get 20M+ if they hit free agency.

  Thus far ......he was miles better last year. I'm still not convinced with him against good teams and also without Hanigan....that's just me. Not speaking for anyone else.

  Definitely agree. Every number tells the story this year. I like Barnhart behind the dish though. At this point, I think you have to consider keeping Pena and Barnhart when Mesoraco comes back. Pena is the best hitter off the bench and Barnhart is a good pitch receiver and defensive catcher.

  Tucker moves as good as any catcher I have seen in years behind the plate.
  
  I agree....Soto and that dude who played for BP the other day.....not seeing it. Skip can play everywhere in the IF if needed
