Grit? The Reds finally have him, in the name of

@BauerOutage. And now he gets the chance to prove he’s got it under the scrutiny of the playoffs, as a Red. I have stated on this blog, that has been a hole in this clubhouse, since Scott Rolen was here,  the last player with grit, albeit the speak softly and carry a big bat type.  Votto? In the words of the Chad Johnson, aka: Ocho Cinco "Child Please". Votto couldn't carry Mother Theresas' Jock. I will always appreciate Joey but he has to get all these stats with rings to be validated, sorry not sorry. Winning is all that matters.  Votto will however nightmare you to death: beware! 👻

So Trevor is the chose one, the grinder the one who stares down other teams, shouts them back to their dugouts as he throws swerling bb's.  So he 'HAS' to be the one. We all, damn well know Scotty Roland (the last Red with 'true grit'), Chris Sabo (goggle Grit), Paul O’Neil (strong quiet grit), and Pete Rose (ultimate grit), Ain’t walking through that door! So Bauer, the self proclaimed and well-deserved-should-be Cy Young winner: 

 IT'S ALL YOURS: SIR OF THE GRIT  

This incident in the clubhouse this year reminds me of when Kirk and Gibson went off on his Dodgers:
