    nice DP by KEArns.
    [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

    .281/.344/.491/.835 since he came back plus he's playing the game with his glove too.

    I ain't complaining, not everyone has the same path.

    What a play by Ears! Got the ball on the warning track and dbl'd Weeks off 1st. Bad decision by Weeks. Inning over!

    I don't get it either. Oh well, I like the guy and that's good enough for me.

    I am not ready to give up on AK. He has been better but only marginally. The Reds still have the 5 in 4 problem which if they solved might aloow someone to blossom.

    Standridge may be luckier than Hudson

    17 games and 57 ab's since he came back and he's 25 years old, I'll hold off writing him off.

    I'm really down on AK as a hitter, but he really plays nice right field. That play was justs outstanding. Good running catch in deep right followed by throw to first to get runner.

    I agree woy. Do you think alot of it has to do with playing more consistently on a day to day basis also? You have to get into a rhythm.

    True enough. I think the guy still has a shred of hope. Probably not with this ballclub--that milk is spilt, IMO.
