9/23/13 -- Reds vs Mets; Choo's back!

[RedLegsToday]

1 shy of the team record now. Methinks that record is going down.

I don't care if you're a players manager or a total jerk, you're not going to please everyone. Always gonna have that one guy that's pissed off at the world. Not that Mez is that guy, but if je expects to have a job handed to him he has another thing coming. I started the season down on Mez, he has showed me some things this year, but hasn't taken the job from Hanny. That's what he needs to do!

I agree with that. Mez just happens to be the topic of this conversation and I'm not really defending him. I will say, I think some players do get jobs handed to them....especially veterans

I've always been curious what it means to be a 'player's manager'....maybe it should be 'veteran player's manager'.

I'd walk Votto too with Ludwick behind him. I understand Dusty wants to boost him, but we gotta postseason to make here.

Thom... What on earth was that?!

[George Foster]

Four walks today for Joey!

and 4 outs for Luddy. With 107 left on base.

I honestly don't set the rotation until I see who we play and how my pitchers have pitched against them.

What does Leake have to do? Pretty solid this year. Just being devils advocate.

The whole staff has been very solid all year. Hard to leave anyone out!

[RedLegsToday]

Does anyone (besides Dusty) think the Reds are better with Ludwick in the game than Billy Hamilton?

N
O

Honest question: is Ludwick the worst cleanup hitter in baseball this year?

It's about Luddy's self esteem...Dusty does not want to hurt feelings. I know you can't change the line up in the middle of the game but you sure as hell can tomorrow....we will see...

Good contact by both Ludwick and Bruce, but just flyouts.

Honest question: is Ludwick the worst cleanup hitter in baseball?

Yeah.....and him keeping BHam off the field makes it worse.

Honest question: is Ludwick the worst cleanup hitter in baseball?

No. But shoulder injuries take forever to heal.
