hey ramp, nice to see you around. you must be pretty happy with the marlins picthing thusfar. too bad aj's gonn get lit up tonight. ;)
yea I'm pretty pleased with the team so far... Offense was sporadic in the first few games(9 runs here, 1 run there) but it's getting more consistent(except for Pedro last night)
Apparently, you have to be in a bad slump to bat 3rd and 4th in the Reds lineup. Our two best hitters are batting 5th and 6th.
Unreal, this lineup. I know everyone got his/her panties in a bunch about Boone's lineups, but this just takes it. I don't know whether to :laugh: or :cry: .Quote:

As Kearns patrols leftfield next to Bradley and Drew, leaving the Dodgers with the best outfield ever assembled and the Reds with Edwin Jackson on the DL.
I'm heading out to Pro Player. Tell you about it later (much later).
Well, if Casey were any lower it sets up MORE chances of double plays ;)Quote:

If Case goes off tonight though this post was made by my evil twin ;)
Completely agree. I can't stand even the thought of one more ground ball to second double play off Casey's bat. They aren't even off to the second baseman's left or right a few feet. They are dead-eye directly at him.Quote:

Jimenez seems to hit Fla. pitching decent. I'm going out on a limb and saying he hits his first HR tonight.
Hey Gents,
No comments on the lineup issue--this is a hard team to make a lineup for, IMHO--but I do have a related question: why is it that Kearns can be beaten out of his job but Jimenez can't be? We see that WMP has effectively displaced AK because of his hot bat; why doesn't that happen with Freel and Jimenez? Why the he's-our-man attitude for D'Angelo, especially when he's likely the worst in the starting 8?
Money
RIDICULOUS THAT KEARNS ISN'T PLAYING -- EX- WILLY MO HE'S OUR HOTTEST PLAYER -- DEFINATELY COMMING AROUND :bang:
I don't like this lineup.
I'm also quite concerned about the developing weather situation in the area.
There are already Tornado Warnings in Indianapolis and Louisville and the storms are pushing toward the Cincy area. Everyone PLEASE listen for warning sirens if they are sounded, because this is a serious situation.
Ding ding!Quote:

Who was it last year had a tornado around his house but got out of his basement to check the score?
If you are posting that here, why did you create a whole thread about it too? Just wondering's all...Quote:

If you multiply Freel's RC per TPA and multiply that by the number of Jiminez's TPA's you get 7.73 RC. If you do the same for Jiminez for Freel's TPA's you get 2.04 for a total of 9.77.
The Reds have lost just under two runs starting Jiminez over Freel. Over the course of the season, that's just under 22 runs the Reds would lose (based on current numbers of course).
The weather is important because I am hoping no one has any tragedies this evening.
That was THE MOST IMPORTANT weather report in the season!!!Quote:

I think it was EdSkin
He's a real fan :D
Exactly Kitty.
Also, a heads up.
Although no Tornado Warning has been issued for Boone County yet... I think I'm beginning to see a little rotation/"hook echo" on radar. A warning with that cell wouldn't surprise me at all.
Anyone in Franklin County, Indiana should also be on the lookout. That storm already has a history of producing a possible tornado further west.
I'm up in Butler County and it's thundering right now coming in from IN. So we don't keep hijacking the game thread - I'll make another thread about the weather...Quote:

Interesting tidbit.
Although Harang has a higher ERA this season, he has more K's than Burnett does in fewer IP.
should be an interesting game.
