Jack Eliot: I'm a World Series MVP!
Skip: That was four years ago, Jack. Last season, you hit .235.
Jack Eliot: LAST SEASON, I led this team in ninth-inning doubles in the month of August!

I enjoy MLB Network. Their highlight shows are really great (with the exception of the hosts interjecting their comments that show they might not know that much about baseball).
If you enjoy the lighter side of baseball, which I really didn't know I did, I highly recommend "The Best of Intentional Talk" which is on Saturdays at noon. Chris Rose and Kevin Millar are pretty entertaining...you just have to know not to take them too seriously. The Saturday show is a "clip show" from the week.
We've had Zach bat 2nd about 1/2 the time and about half the time down in the order.

Two words for MLB Network haters:
Heidi.
Watney.

I love MLB Network. I don't have to agree with everything they say to enjoy watching it. Part of the fun is disagreeing with them on occasion. Most of the guys are pretty knowledgeable, but none of them know everything, just like us here on Redszone. Even Harold Reynolds and Mitch Williams say something insightful once in awhile.
Harold Reynolds is a younger version of a misinformed Joe Morgan.

He may not always be articulate, but when he demonstrates plays on their in-studio field he does a very good job explaining why players need to do certain things. Last week, even my wife took notice when he showed why the shortstop was supposed to be standing in a certain place and she, a non-baseball fan stopped her annoyance at me for watching MLB network, and said I never knew that, that was helpful.

This quote is taken out of context as I saw it. He was alluding to the fact that the way Hamilton runs is so smooth he doesn't look that fast when you are just following him -- they were showing him running to second on his double. And I agree with the statement, when you watched him you don't realize how fast he really is.
Where we gonna go?

[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
