Joey Votto has been hot and is now 6th on the NL list. Edinson Volquez is #2 in ERA.

I can't remember how far Votto's CF HR was but it hit off the brick wall in deep center. Votto also had a grand slam in the final game. Despite being down 0-2, he went to LF with a ball that just squeaked over the wall at 335 feet.

FINAL SERIES BEFORE ALL-STAR BREAK - AGAINST THE METS

Game 1 was Bronson Arroyo vs. Johan Santana and it wasn't much of a contest. The Mets cruised to a 6-2 win. Johnny Gomes has 2 hits and a two run HR off Santana. He actually should have had a 3rd hit but it was a shot right up the middle that hit the rubber and bounced back to the catcher. Never saw that before (I actually have a video of it that I might load but forgot). Arroyo was just bad again. A three run inning and he was lucky to only give up 5 in 6 innings. Again he allowed 2 HRs and loves to give up the deep ball.

Dusty Baker wasn't pleased. Some quotes from him below after talking with the media:

"We had a 4 game winning streak but I think everyone expected a loss after Arroyohole took the mound."

"He's been awful lately and guess who was the last pitcher to pick up a loss for us? If you couldn't figure it out maybe you should get your head examined. It's the same pitcher that's gonna get shipped out of town."

"He's been awful and I can't count on him anymore. I would expect a change sooner than later."

Check back for more news on this circus act. The loss left the Reds at 40-46 with two games before the All-Star Break. Joey Votto and Ryan Raburn were rested today so the offense was noticeably weaker.

Bronson Arroyo Traded for Zach Duke and Denny Bautista!

After trashing Arroyo to the media a day earlier, Dusty made good on his promise to make a change sooner than later. Arroyo was dealt to Pittsburgh for lefty Zach Duke and Denny Bautista. Duke is expected to pitch against the Mets in the final game before the All-Star break while Denny Bautista will push David Weathers for a spot in the bullpen.

"I'm glad to get rid of Bronson. He just has not pitched well lately," said manager Dusty Baker. "We don't have a single lefty in the rotation and even though we played great against Philly, it will be nice to have a lefty starter that we can use against some of these teams." Both Duke and Bautista are expected to join the team sometime today and be available soon.

Here is the video of a ball hit through the middle and bounces straight back off the pitcher's rubber.

Game 2 vs Mets More of the Same - 9-6 Loss

Edinson Volquez couldn't keep up his torrid pace and allowed 4 runs. He didn't take the loss as the Reds scored 3 in the top of the 7th to tie the game at 4-4. But the bullpen blew up allowing 5 runs in the bottom of the 7th which was too much to overcome. Votto drove in two with the bases loaded (blooper down the left field line) and is now 2nd in RBI in the NL!!

I should have brought Burton into the 7th instead of Lincoln. But Rhodes pitched poorly. Zach Duke makes his first start for the Reds tomorrow!
