The thing is this team could flame out this year and no one going to be like ‘too many stone faced white dudes on this team’

 

Or our (mostly white) bullpen could have not self combusted against Seattle or white Springer or white Bichette could have not messed up the key play (harsh but true) and we went on to win a world series (cos the playoffs are pretty random).

 

This all seems like nonsense to me. But now there are way more white people around, I expect Bo to f*** up a lot less at SS.

 

George Springer is not white

Neither is Bo Bichette, that was the joke (I believe, it almost caught me too...)

Sometimes I feel bad if I’m part of a thread going on for pages of nonsense. But you guys do it just fine all on your own

George isn’t, he seems way too happy to be white. Bo doesn’t smile as much and is quite serious, so yea he’s white. We need more serious pros like Bo around. Less lazy smiling bums like springer.

 

I miss Grichuk. Very serious, very stoic.

For someone who claims to have recovered from mental illness, you sure do your best to further the stigma

 

Recovered? It's ongoing, relax Jimmyc it's just a joke, lol.

We're 10 days from Opening day.

 

Just saying :)

 

Hard to believe. Pumped. Too bad we won’t be home for another couple weeks after that

Every outing has been good, Lets Go Kooch!

 

I see things that still concern me with him - the BBs and pitch selection (hard to tell in Spring as they work on things) - but as a 5th he should be fine, if Berrios doesn't pitch like a 4-5.

Votto as a pinch hitter later this season sounds intriguing. He wouldn’t be coming in to play everyday.

What if Votto asked to traded somewhere else? Would he not oblige? Lol

 

probably a couple words lost in transcription there

 

"[for example] if we were out of it and he asked to be traded to Toronto..."

It’s still a very weird thing to say going into a new season. I mean its a nice gesture sure. But sounds like something that should be discussed behind closed doors. Now we’re going to hear about it for the next four months.

LOL,

 

IF they are out of it...Cincinatti is one of those teams that can be certain they will pretty much eliminated from the playoffs by about June 1.

Votto doesnt seem like the kind of guy who would ever ask to be traded either. I remember him saying something like asking for a trade isnt something he would do.

 

And I found the quote, it was from last year.

 

“I have never once in my career asked or even whispered anything like [being traded],” Votto said. “I’ve been loyal to this uniform, to this city, to the contract that I signed. On my side of things, it’s never been something I’ve ever really prompted. I have a responsibility to the person that signs my checks.”

Maybe this is the GM hinting to Votto that he SHOULD ask for a trade haha

Ya, the Reds probably want to move him for a prospect, they'd have to eat some of his contract. But there would probably be some backlash from the fanbase. If Votto asks for a trade, the team gets to pass the blame onto him and they'll look like the good guys. Votto would also get to pick where he goes anyway since he has 10-5 rights.

I thought it was well-established that Votto has 0 interest in moving, and even less interest in playing for the Jays.

 

This is a non-story

Only a few years too late for Votto. Don't care to go get him unless he's offered free of charge lol.

 

If Belt is on the IL for an extended period of time it might make sense.... Votto would def be an upgrade on Biggio if healthy.
