This. He should be hitting 8th and getting the least amount of at-bats, not the most. Really he needs about a week off to clear his head. But if it didn't clear over the winter, I am not sure an extra week is going to help.Quote:

1. Bray isn't as good as everyone thinks.
"Arroyo had no problem with being lifted.
“We talked about it the inning before,” Arroyo said. “I wasn’t even real strong at the beginning of the game. My pitch count was real high. But basically they needed me to get righty out. They wanted to get a matchup there. It worked out in their favor, but that’s the way we’ve got to play it.”

Did you forget that he's fast and plays CF? You must have.Quote:

In the end it doesn't matter. If this team doesn't hit then it is gonna be a very long season.
Take the next two and this team skips out of town at .500. For how anemic the offense has been that would be close to a miracle.
St. Louis and Milwaukee are waiting for the Reds. Nice.
Dusty tries to be a players manager. Believe in them even when they are down and not producing. He likes to appeal to the players on his bench... that way he's "liked" where he works. He doesn't have the courage to do things that may create conflict in his workplace, make changes to WIN ball games.Quote:

I'll be waiting for takeleake to comment on thisQuote:
