Joey Votto's contract makes me happy.

I remember the first few days after we got Pomeranz, Counsell wouldn't touch him with a 20 foot pole. That seems like forever ago now.

 

I wonder if they were working with him on what they wanted from him because that was odd at the time.

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Pom is so nasty.

 

I want him back in a bullpen role next year. Hopefully we can keep him.

 

We sure have a lot of question marks for next year...

 

It's kind of scary, there is no way we can keep Pom Grandal, Moose, Thames, and add to the pitching staff. I have a sneaky suspicion next year's squad is going to look a lot different.

I think they were still trying to figure out if they were going to try him as a starter or keep him in the bullpen. Glad they went the bullpen route on this one.

The Reds owe 36 year old Joey Votto $100 million more of the dollars.

Really good looking out by the people in charge. I know many werent thrilled by the trade, but it looks like they knew exactly what they were doing...again.

Yeah. I was wrong on this deal big time. I thought he was going to be starting but him in the pen has been a Godsend.

I read somewhere they still have a ton of money to spend, and are the overwhelming favorites to win the central next year.

 

And they have a front office that runs things incredibly well. And that the deal for Trevor Bauer was a genius move.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hint: None of those things are true.

SS Cubs is just about sunk. Wonder if Joe Maddon is going to be Counsell's bench coach next year after Pat Murphy takes the Cubs managerial job?

 

I’ll give Joe Madison credit for recognizing what the Brewers were a season ago. He was telling people how good we were before things really clicked. I’m sure he’s a good baseball mind but I want him no where near the Brewers.
