Reds Tidbits (2012 Season)

Left knee inflammation for Votto. Not exactly sure what that completely means. I guess if could be anywhere from a mild strain to something more serious. I guess we will find out more later. Yet doesn't sound too bad right now (stated he left for precautionary reasons).

If the Giants are going to slide Pablo Sandoval over to shortstop when Bruce bats, I want him to drop a bunt every time.

Just as it is dumb to give away outs, it's also dumb to forsake a high-percentage opportunity to put a guy on base.

The baserunning in this game has been straight retarded.

With Pablo's speed, a slug bunt might be a double!

That sounds a lot like the people calling for Dunn to bunt every time they put the shift on him.

I want no part of 1 of our 2 legit power hitters bunting his way on and putting the onus of run production on one of the many AAA level hitters in this lineup.

With the way the Reds diagnose and initially characterize injuries, it means he's probably looking at multiple surgeries, with ill-executed rehab attempt in between.
