We've struggled with the Pirates in the past..... Not sure why, but it happens.

I'll begin to panic if things don't start turning by the middle of May (Votto, the bullpen, etc.).

I was encouraged just to finally see Votto turn on a ball, even if it was a meaningless homer. Maybe he finally just got pissed off and went for it. If that was it he should go on a tear now. He really needs to, for the sake of the team.

Can he play 1st base? Votto can't be bothered to swing the bat now. He may chip a nail.

He's on base more than half of his at bats.... Why hit when you can walk?

Phillips is hitting well..... I always cut Joey a break because of the guys that followed him in the order (Rollen never scared anyone). But with the way Phillips is slugging, he is running out of excuses. I'm not ready to panic yet, but the thought that he is 'mentally struggling' has crossed my mind.

Joey Votto just isn't a very good hitter anymore.

Bout damn time. Was it someone on this board that said Frazier couldn't be an every day 3B?

I wouldn't doubt it.... Though I'm not sure why anyone would have the motivation to say it. Didn't everyone want Rollen out of here?

Anyway, amazing what a couple games will do to a guy's numbers. Votto is now over .320 with OPS and slugging steadily climbing and an already impressive OBP. It would be nice to see him put together a few series where he is driving the ball like he did this weekend.
