This is great hitting

Batting and OBP averages after today's game for the Reds hitters (minus Pena)

Byrd with 3 more whiffs today. The man is a complete fucking JOKE.

Hey- the good news is, Lorenzen was an OF. He could play LF when he isn't pitching. So could Leake.

Seriously, I think it should be against the law to play a utility middle infielder hitting .048 at 1b for Votto with Pena on the bench. Really ?

 

[JohnU]

How in fuck does somebody hit .048?
I realize Negron probably would do better with more reps. But he ain't gonna get more reps.

 

[Redsfan1507]

They played Barnhart anyway. WHY give Votto AND Pena the SAME day off ? One today, one tomorrow is too tough a concept ?

The mismanagement of this roster has perplexed me. Here's a guy who spent ...what? ... 12 years as a coach watching how to manage a roster. It's blowing my mind.

I mean, obviously they only get a hit 4.8% of their at bats. It isn't hard to do the math!

But yeah, that's a pretty piss poor average.

One hit in 21 at-bats ... I suppose if he was a regular, we could just call it a slump.
Negron is actually a nice bench guy to have.
