I'm still laughing at Suzyn's exasperated "because Stanton caught the ball" and then Sterling doubling down by saying that "Stanton never threw the ball back in"

Are they traveling with the team? The last couple years have been filled with those kinds of calls while announcers were at the mercy of the local camera crew.

Votto is hanging it up after the year is over. He is by far the worst hitter on by far the worst team and looks completely toast. He had a good season last year but man, all the prep and change in bats and approach has just not translated at all.

Yeah Votto is 38 and playing for a team that is nakedly not even trying, I'm not surprised he's playing like poo poo. Imma go out on a limb and say if he was playing for the Dodgers or Yankees or [insert actually competitive team] his slash line would look a lot better, even if he isn't quite the guy he used to be.

An absolute travesty that Votto's gonna go out having played just 11 postseason games and having never once made it to a WS.

No. There's a team in his hometown that has all the hitting we need already and I'd like him to come along for the ride. The greatest hitter in Toronto history should come home

And the PP that aren't injured are averaging like a .525 OPS.

He’s only started what, two games in the minors since he missed two years?

4 total. Three in High-A (extended spring training), then one at Toledo. Hopefully he'll be better than Tyler Alexander.

A bit surprised by the urgency here but it's 100% the right move. His defense is fundamental stuff that can be sorted out down there, or so I hope
