"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
i love the reds but maybe hal is right for once.
there's nothing like bowling a 300 game! 13 now and retired.
Ricky henderson has a higher OBP than C. patterson and he's retired. C. Trent 6-14-2008

I hope Hal's wrong about the 1st part of the article,but I don't think he lied about any of it.Contrary to our arrogance,we are not the typical Reds fans,Hal is speaking to the general public,not Redszone.
From the reaction of many ,they would almost condone euthanasia.I thoroughly enjoyed the last part of the article.The human side of anything,be it characters on any stage(sports,novels,movies,etc) are what matters. Thanks Hal for giving us these memories.
May the Lord bless
I think people are confused as to the work McCoy is doing here....it's a blog post. It's his opinion, his thoughts in type.
McCoy is a journalist, but this isn't a journalistic piece. This isn't supposed to be unquestioned fact. It's his opinion.
Clearly the Reds are struggling mightily right now...and he points that out, which is what he's paid to do.
Smixsell: "Hal McCoy just isn't that good"
Hal and Marty are treasures, but amazing that after decades covering and broadcaasting they can't seem to grasp the concept of a 162-game marathon and ebbs and flows.
That being said, the boys pretty much stunk on ice on the eight game roadtrip with some ugly, uncompetitive baseball in four of the losses.
