Go Skins Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2016/07/28/the-reds-joey-votto-is-the-super-villain-baseball-needs/ Some may say he’s being a jerk here, but I won’t. Baseball is supposed to be a fun game, and Votto is doing what he can to make baseball fun again (minus the hat). “A high percentage of the guys and ladies and kids on the first-base side were smiling and laughing,” Votto said after the Phillies game. “Fair game. I happened to pop in during the game and on TV the theme was I didn’t give a ball to a kid, which is definitely not the case. I made a point to not give a ball to an adult that was giving me a hard time. So be it.” Asked for his response to fans who think he’s over the line here, Votto was succinct: “Too bad.” And then he finished with a flourish. “I have no problems with any of the Philly fans, except for the Philly fan kids,” he said, smiling. “I can’t stand kids here. Kids drive me crazy, Philly fans especially.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Carpenter is 1000x worse than anyone to ever wear a Cubs jersey. Then add in Larussa and Yadier and others and it is a landslide. The Cubs fans are annoying but they don't call themselves the Best Fans In Baseball. The Cubs team doesn't whine and cry about everything. The Cards are always bitching and crying about EVERYTHING. Joe Maddon is actually a likeable guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Doesn't sound like Cozart is going anywhere before the deadline. Bruce market hasn't been great either. We desperately need to try and move Jay while his value is high since he is so streaky. It will probably never be higher than now. Really liking what Senzel and Winker might bring to this team in the next few years. Just need to get some pitching to complement them. Billy has strung together a nice past ten games as well. If he and Peraza can continue to get on base and we can play some small ball, we could turn it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalRep85-9 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 The offense has been decent enough to be competitive. The problem is the pitching, specifically relief. They've given up the 2nd most runs in all MLB. Can't be competitive with that. Desclafani, Strailey, and Finnegan show real promise. Reed and Lamb not so much so far. If the young arms take a step forward next year and we get some bullpen help, we might be able to stay close to a wild card. This is the Cubs division for the next couple years.
