Votto's two AB's with Hamilton in scoring position from yesterday, and a microcosm of what he faces from pitchers day to day:

In the first AB, the Cards were trying to pitch around him, and accidentally struck him out.
In the two AB's he saw 10 total pitches, saw [I]maybe[/I] one strike, and took one swing. He walked once, and should have walked 1 1/2 times the other AB.
Swing more, herp derp.[/QUOTE]
Yea, so interesting pitch tracking and analysis, but the guy is a career .314 hitter and hasn't failed to hit .300 or better over the course of a season since 2008. Pretty sure he should stick with what has been working for him.

Jim Johnson is out as the A's closer.
