Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Joey Votto. The All-Star (vote here!) went 3-4 with a walk, a double, and two home runs. There's no doubt in my mind that he would have reached base yesterday if he hadn't been ejected in the first inning, and today would have put his streak at 43 games. Alas. Honorable mentions go to Travis Wood and Jerry Meals, the home plate umpire. He conferred with his fellow umpires and reversed a strikeout call on Scott Rolen and instead awarding him first base for being hit by a pitch, which opened the gates to the breakout fifth inning.
Key Plays
- Joey Votto hit a home run off of Mike Pelfrey in the first inning. Reds lead, 1-0.
- The Mets responded with a two-out run of their own in the fifth inning. David Wright, Ike Davis, and Jason Bay all singled off of Travis Wood, who was making an emergency start when Aaron Harang had back problems. Game tied, 1-1.
- The Reds had two runners on in the second, and the bases loaded in the fourth, but couldn't score. It looked like it might be more of the same in the fifth inning. Brandon Phillips and Orlando Cabrera singled to open the fifth, and Pelfrey walked Votto to load the bases with no outs. Scott Rolen was then hit by a pitch, although he was initially ruled to have struck out. The umpires conferred and reversed the call, and Phillips trotted home with the forced in run. Jonny Gomes popped out and Jay Bruce struck out, and it looked like that might be all for the Reds. But Drew Stubbs laced a single to left field, and Cabrera and Votto scored. Then Corky Miller walloped a pitch into the right field corner for a double and Rolen and Stubbs scored. Travis Wood then smacked a ball to center and legged out a triple while Miller huffed and puffed home. Reds lead, 7-1.
- That hard running might have tired out Wood. He got in trouble right away in the bottom of the fifth, allowing a leadoff home run to Angel Pagan and a one out triple to David Wright. Ike Davis hit a dribbler that Wood couldn't field cleanly, and Wright scored. Jason Bay flew out, but with Wood one out from being in line to earn his first major league win, Jeff Francouer worked a walk. Dusty Baker went to the bullpen and brought in Jordan Smith. Smith immediately gave up a single to Rod Barajas and a double to Alex Cora, and the Reds lead was trimmed considerably. Reds lead, 7-6.
- Joey Votto hit his second home run of the game in the sixth inning, this time off of Fernando Nieve. Reds win, 8-6.
Other Notes
- Joey Votto's two home runs tonight give him 21 for the season and sole occupancy at the top of the NL leaderboard. He's tied with Jose Bautista for most in the majors. It was his fifth multi-home run game of his career.
- Jerry Manuel got ejected in the fifth inning, following the reversal of Rolen's call.
- Omar Infante went 0-4 with 2 strikeouts. Ryan Howard went 2-4, but both hits were singles.
- Omar Infante has a career .746 OPS against the Mets. Going into tonight's game, Votto's career OPS against the Mets was 1.016. It's higher now.
- The Reds now have a 2.0 game lead on the Cardinals, who were inactive tonight.

Looks like a fun game, wish I was there!
I don’t get the Cowherd reference. Did he say something stupid on his show about Votto?

Cowherd is the absolute worst
Even worse than Skip Bayless…..and that is saying something.
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, is just a freight train coming your way...
No way
I’ve never listened to Cowherd, but I’m rejecting that on principle. Bayless is like the speed of light with regards to terribleness – it cannot be exceeded.
It's summertime - go Reds!
Bayless is really annoying
But Cowherd combines annoying with extreme stupidity.
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, is just a freight train coming your way...
Bayless is on that God awful First Take on ESPN
If it weren’t for Cowherd, he’d be the worst sports “personality” ever

bayless is really really bad
but at least there are moments that he makes me laugh.
cowherd is much worse

So, the Reds' run differential is now up to +51, tied for 4th best in the NL
They’ve scored 27 more runs than the next closest team (Brewers, who scored like 45 of those in 3 games against Pittsburgh)
Just to reiterate..
Joey Votto:
Leader in NL Home Runs and on pace for 43, 5 off the RBI lead, .13 off the AVG lead, leader in OPS by .36 and the only NL’er over 1.000, leader in NL SLG, leader in NL OBP… not good enough.
it's laughable. idk how mlb can allow manuel to a.) even consider making omar infante an all-star b.) allowing an incredibly blatant homer move with the selection of ryan howard at the expense of ... c.) joey votto
who is more deserving, based upon both stats and importance to his team, than all but maybe one other player on that roster. it’s an insult to votto that he has accomplished all of the feats you have mentioned and has to win this “last man in” crap when he should have been one of, if not the, first.

His new tact is to blame Reds fans for not voting him in.

He says NO outrage from Reds fans can be given credence because of the lack of votes. It must be painful to be that stupid.

He says that "legacy" matters.
He continues to ignore that the manager choice is supposed to catch up situgations like Votto.
People that are willfully stupid deserve a special place in hell.

He says Votto's stats don't "blow away" everyone else.
Which ignores the fact, that, yeah, they do. Other than Pujols, everyone else’s stats are indeed “blown away” by what Votto is doing.

My "favorite" part was from yesterday when he praised Gonzalez

Rece Davis filled in for my ESPN crush Michelle Beadle.
During one of their games, they asked which has a sweeter swing, Joey Votto or some new Wii game that’s a HR Derby type game (didn’t this already come with Wii Sports?).
SportsNation picked Votto, I forget 57% or 67%. Both Rece and Colin picked the Wii game. Colin took some shots at Votto about playing in a small market and no one’s heard of him, but everyone’s heard of Wii. Rece egged Colin on before saying anything about Votto about the All-Star game.

No Grudges
I am not familiar with how the All Star voting works, but the reason Votto didn’t make it is because of Manuel. Right? Does the blame go to Reds fans for not voting enough? Either way I hope Votto doesn’t hold any grudges during contract negotiations for not feeling appreciated. I love you Joey ( as much a man can love another man without seeming gay).
I don't think it really mattered how much Reds fans voted
There are a lot of deserving candidates at 1B in the NL, none more so than Albert Pujols. Yes, Joey is having just as good a year, if not better, but Pujols isn’t having a bad year. Sure, the Cardinals also outdraw the Reds, but for everyone in other markets, they know Pujols as “the best player in baseball.” I’m pretty sure he was the leading vote-getter for the NL. There was just no way that Joey was going to be voted in as a starter, and it shouldn’t be a reflection on Reds fans if he wasn’t.
by Brendanukkah on Jul 6, 2010 12:05 AM EDT up reply actions
exactly
when MLB is running commercials that say, “You get to see Albert Pujols do everything well.” I think it’s safe to say that no amount of voting by Reds fans, short of a 1957 repeat, was going to move Votto into the top spot. Pujols had 4.4M votes, more than doubling second place Ryan Howard at 1.7M. Even if Reds fans had doubled Votto’s vote total, he would have finished more than 2 million votes back.

I also find it slightly irritating
when the BBTN guys get all apoplectic over good players getting ignored by the fans when they their general MO is to hype a select few players and teams.
Now I don’t think they play favorites quite to the extent that some on this board do, but they certainly have a share of the blame for folks thinking that Ryan Howard is a far superior player the last two seasons than Votto.
If you walk out of here tonight and see a man c***-flapping, you run with that man.
yeah, that's why I stopped watching those shows
I don’t have anything against ESPN trying to sell their product, but it’s disappointing to me that they do it in such a least-common-denominator sort of way. I’ve started to notice that mindset is moving into MLB Network as well. They still do a great job of covering every team and game (Quick Pitch is a great show), but the studio guys on MLB Tonight fall into the dumb jock act far too often. Then again, it seems like I never turn it on when Larkin is on there, and I KNOW he’s not stupid.

Votto commenting on tonight's game
"I performed as well as I could in the first half," Votto said. "I didn’t make the All-Star team. I’m over it. Hopefully, it works out Thursday and make it."
He shouldn’t worry. Between all of us voting lie corrupt apparatchiks, and the baseball world ralying to his cause, we should be able to get him there. It’s just terrible that he has anything to “get over” Manuel is an idiot and worse.
Joey Votto finished second to Roy Halladay in SC's "King of the Night"
Halladay had a CG 1 run game.. Votto manhandled the Mets.. um..
Me thinks that if JV ain't an all-star this year...a lot of pitchers are going to pay for it in the 2nd half of this season.
Though some might argue that "best utility player" is a contradiction in terms.

Ya think maybe the Phillies pitchers are going to be a little upset with their skipper by the time Joey leaves town at the end of the week?
You're never as bad as you look when you lose. You're never as good as you look when you win.
we can only hope that they are
the love fest for Votto on Baseball Tonight was great. They even said they want him in teh HR Derby (however I worry about that affecting players negatively). Then the two guys on ESPN News kept talking about Votto during the highlights saying his name “Vot-toe” insisting that Joey called and said he liked it to be said that way lol. He is getting a lot of recognition for this.
That'd be like any other series.

Charlie Manuel is an idiot.
You guys shouldn’t worry. Votto will get voted in. It’s Billy Wagner that’s going to get screwed out of the ASG. I love Omar Infante. As a Braves fan, I couldn’t ask for a better BENCH player. That being said, he’s definatly the worst choice for the ASG I’ve ever seen in my life. Mind numbing.
Braves Win! Braves Win!
Does Bobby Cox feel like he has to start Infante more now that he's an All-Star

we're doing what we can
I just can’t believe Votto didn’t make it—everyone is focusing on Infante, but Howard should not be on the team either. Without Howard, then Votto and Wagner wouldn’t have to comepete for the last spot. Infante could be left off and Wagner could be on the team. It’s all stupid and crazy. I’ve read that Prado can play most infield positions. He’ sutility enough and far better than Infante.
I worked late today, and watched the game on DVR
Joey Votto said “suck it” to Charlie without using words.
Jordan Smith deserves an honorable mention, after a rocky 5th, he really held down the fort saving the bullpen on this 11 game trip.
Travis Wood gave a gutsy performance, his second MLB start, he didn’t realize he was going to get it until shortly before the game, and who knows if he has ever started on 3 days rest. His line score isn’t pretty but he did his job.
Oh I love seeing Rhodes walk off the field after a clean inning.

MLB really need to alter the way the all star team is put together ... obviously an understatement
Keep the fan voting for the starters … however, MLB needs to remove the managers of the WS (what if they’re fired or move on?) and give to the first half manager of the year (Dusty!). Then they need to come up with a system involving the players, managers/staff around the league, press, and themselves to fill in the rest of the positions. It’s not hard, the NFL and NBA seem to get it right. If you’re gonna award home field to the winner, at least let the managers having the best year THIS year fight for it.
Time to bring back Pete .... Pete Mackanin that is.
They basically do the first part of that.
From wikipedia:
- Fan voting (8 players): Baseball fans vote on the starting position players for the All-Star Game, with ballots distributed at Major League Baseball games before mid-season and, more recently, on the Internet. The designated hitter for the AL team is also selected in this manner. This method has been recently criticized because most of the starting players can come from teams that have large fan bases, such as the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox.
- Player voting (16 players): Eight pitchers (five starters and three relievers) and one back-up player for each position are elected by the players, coaches, and managers. If the top vote-getter at a position has also been selected via fan voting, the second-place finisher in this category is selected.
- Manager selection (9 players): The manager of each league’s All-Star team — in consultation with the other managers in his league and the Commissioner’s Office — will fill his team’s roster up to 33 players. The NL manager will also select his team’s designated hitter. At this point, it is ensured that every team is represented by at least one player.
- Final vote (1 player): After the list of 33 players for each league is announced, fans vote (on the Internet) for one additional player, chosen from a list of 5 players that is compiled by the manager of each league’s team and the Commissioner’s Office.
- Replacements: After the roster is selected, the All-Star manager and the Commissioner’s Office will replace players who are injured or who decline to participate, as well as pitchers who started on the Sunday before the game.
There’s no real reason for the manager to select so many: I’d rather just have him pick enough to fill out the one-from-each-team requirement. But still, I really don’t understand how Votto wasn’t voted in by the players and managers before Manuel had a chance to screw things up.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
It would have been funny if the Reds would have made the World Series in 1995
I guess Davey Johnson would have managed the NL team wearing a Baltimore uniform.

They don’t want anyone going on short rest if they can help it.

Cowherd is at it again
he says it’s our fault that Votto didnt make it and we shouldn’t be outraged. I really dislike that guy
not on SVP
there, MMA guy is the guy who mercilessly defends MMA and says everyone else doesn’t understand it. That’s the best fit for MMA guy, IMO

he* just thinks MMA guy is too defensive in regards to MMA's credibility
*I
chairman of the committee
ah...
i don’t care if people like it or not, but it does bother me to say that “it’s just a bar fight”.
At the risk of being that guy
That sounds like a description of soccer guy.

and more ed hardy shirts

MMA guy isn't an ed hardy fan
that stuff is weak.
Affliction, Silver Star, & Death Clutch are where it’s at.
Also, I have a friend that promotes MMA events. He also has his own line of clothing, Gruesome Fightwear. You guys should buy those shirts!

man this is too true
I have a couple “MMA Guy” friends, and they tell me all the time that I “don’t get it”.
I get it just fine. 2 guys beating the shit out of each other. I get that. What I don’t get is why they pay money for PPVs of that shit. Go to a bar or a place that will buy it for you.

i usually go to a bar
but i’d much rather watch it at home where you can hear the commentary and always have a good view of the television
i guess if you have at least 6 people over, then it's worth it
if not, you’re just blowin’ a lot of money to watch dudes beat the shit out of each other
and to listen to joe fucking rogan

joe rogan is very good at what?
making me want to listen to joe morgan or chris berman?

Boo!
The things he says about UK are worse than what he said about Votto!
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, is just a freight train coming your way...
ive never heard him talk about UK, though i know he's gotten up UK fans' ire
chairman of the committee
yeah he talks about uk negatively all the time
also he talk poorly about Ohio State football.
He does it because both schools have passionate fanbases
Yep
He is just trying to boost ratings when he does it. Just like a wrtier who writes a hit piece to boost page views.

he talks poorly about osu football?
i might start listening to him, then
cant wait for the Hurricanes/Bucknuts matchup!

i will, of course, take the point spread.

No spread. Straight-up.
Spreads are for pussies and Italians.

loves him some USC and the Pac 10, however

He almost orgasmed when the Texas to the Pac 10 news came out.

I like him too b/c he stirs the pot
and I know deep down he can’t believe 1/2 the shit that comes out of his mouth. He just says it to get people to listen and call in.
