Reds vs BoSox finale

[westofyou]

Strange line-up. Randa's the DH even though he is by far the best defensive 3Bman. I would rather have seen Kelly in LF and Cruz at DH. Sometimes I just don't get Miley, job on the line and he puts this line-up out there.

Miley has cemented it to me that his main three guys are Casey, Randa and Aurllia. Each player is a bat on the ball player who can take the ball the other way, has occasional power and is what is termed "a thinking player"

Miley loves these types of players and will make sure they get the rest that old guys need, or he'll make sure a young guy gets some rest to ensure that the one of the three is in the lineup.

It's very indicative of the minor league lifer, he believes that there is "something" intangible that will put him over the top, not crafting a lineup that maximizes ob%, batting average or what not.

It's all tradition with Miley, slots, communication, etc... he's as flexible as a concrete wall and as imaginitive as one as well.

Kill Me.

Sure am glad that Kearns is in the Minors.

Kelly is up here when he could be in AAA getting AB's, why not give them to him now especially with Casey gone for a couple of days?

I completely agree. He's managing his version of "old school", which is an organizational philosophy with the Reds, and many other teams.

Who had over # 15 for the first post mentioning how nice it would be to have Kearns to DH this week?


Thought for sure the under would win.
