I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Agreed M2, a professional hitter must get that run in from third. The K looking made it even more of a debacle.Originally Posted by M2

Ok, but Javy can't start on back-to-back days?Originally Posted by oneupper
Well, LaRue is the superior player, so I'm not sure why we would want Javy playing back to back games.

The cubs and their bullpen had a long day yesterday so the key to the game will be to make Wood throw alot of pitches early and get to the bullpen.
Is there supposed to be a smiley after that? Larue sucks. Enough said.Originally Posted by Austin Kearns
Dusty decided he'd copy Narron and insert the scrappy vet Todd Walker in the clean up spot too. It looks like Dusty just picked names out of a hat.
I agree with TB, what the heck does Kearnsy have to do to move up in the lineup?

Let's try not to turn this into yesterday's game thread, but LaRue has shown over his career he is better than Valentin.Originally Posted by Newman4
OPS correlates to runs scored awfully well and LaRue beats Valentin no matter how you slice it.
LaRue:
Career- .744
2006- .681 (68 at-bats)
2005- .807
2004- .765
Valentin:
Career- .696
2006- .661 (73 at-bats)
2005- .882
2004- .674
I see no reason to believe that Valentin is better than LaRue. LaRue is a top 10-15 catcher in baseball.
Sure make this site better without him!Originally Posted by Chip R

Wood is bringing it 95 mph.. This could be a long day for the reds.
