I agree about EE

If I were to do it, I would put Votto, Bruce, then BP. Votto is hitting lefties well enough that I would not worry about back to back left-handed batters and BP, when he hits, hits lhp well. Put the power hitters back to back and when and if they both start to hit, Votto finally sees some pitches.

I could be wrong but..

..I’d bet that more MLB pitchers know exactly how they want to pitch to BP most times.

With EE they just hope he’s slumping and he gets himself out.

There’s where the birds warble sweet in the springtime,
There’s where the old darke’ys heart am long’d to go,
There’s where I labored so hard for old massa,

and keep the Cubs from getting everyone on base in every single fucking inning, and they’ll win.

the 2009 Cincinnati Reds

I don’t see the Reds play much, living in Chicago. All I have to say is this: At least when they sucked the last few years, you got the impression that they could come from behind from just about any score…they were always capable of a scoring binge. Now…5-2 in the 6th inning feels like GAME OVER. I know…pitching and defense…whatever. It’s still boring.

So who was it that was trying to defend Joey Votto's defense to me last month?

He continues to struggle at first with bizarrely awkward defense, and I still can’t believe that you guys were arguing he was above average. I love the kid, but WTF?

well with the gliven and the glaovin

he’s 1st in UZR so far this season. He ain’t bad…I just guess his athleticism makes up for his walrussing of certain plays.

I agree with either of the outfielders and EE

Let me guess

They were having a conversation about fried chicken, like normal, and Fukudome’s name came up, so Brantley started talking about General Tso’s chicken, and Marty corrected him like “Cowboy, I think that’s Chinese”, and Brantley said something like “they all look the same to me”
