Re: 8/18/13 - Reds @ Brewers
I went and rented a movie I can't watch this offense struggle again like last night. Hope you guys manage to keep your sanity.

Baseball will drive you nuts. Such a luck dependent sport.
In Chicago he hits a line drive right at a terrible SS and gets the game started right. Today he doesn't get the break.

I cannot understand the Reds' apparent desire to hit Phillips second. He is slow going to first, hits all these DP balls. Just don't get it.
Poor execution that inning, bad bunt, double play ball.

I would hit him 5th or 6th also if/when Ludwick get's comfortable.

He's 35, coming off a serious injury, they don't take greenies anymore. look at the big picture. This isn't the NFL.
Re: 8/18/13 - Reds @ Brewers

Which, aside from his RBI total, makes him a bad choice to hit cleanup as well.

I researched it last year but in his past 35 or so DP's.....only 3 were to the right of the 2nd base bag.
When he tries to be powerful he is a DP nightmare.

It was just a single, but what a great looking swing he made on that one. Loved it.
