Reds/Mets 6/20/2006 Valentin Catching

[reds44]

RBI's yeah, but not runs. Dunn has twice as many runs as those guys and is still on pace for 121, which ain't shabby.

Yeah he is without a doubt going to lead the team in runs.

92 pitches for EZ thru 6 with the bottom of the order coming up. Unless he has to hit this inning, I leave him in.

Me too, but I hope he has to hit. (rallY).

1st p itching swriing lines it to right... a basehit....

Hattey up, Kearnsy on 1st, 0 outs.

[Tony Cloninger]

The lineup set up...these last 2 nights....has been pretty much what most people would want... yet still not enough to hit 2 average pitchers.

I did not expect Ramirez to throw another shutout.... just thought they would hit this pitcher better.

I overrated this offense.....i expected some lights out offense to just carry this team and hope for anything positive in the pitching.

[oneupper]

All 5 REDS hits tonight by righties.

[Heath]

Take out the first Inning and EZ had a great game.

Too bad for the first inning.

hard to evaluate the lineup construction when Dunn and Griffey are doing so poorly.

[RedsMan3203]

Well... After a couple mintues of wasted time... Hatte works the count full....

And Draws a Walk.

Kearns on 2nd, Hattey on 1st and Phillips at the Plate. 0 outs.

[pedro]

watch out! Steve's reading Moneyball.

[RedsMan3203]

The Pen is up for the Mets.... I believe thats a good sign for the Reds....

[Heath]

That's what I thought -

Trachsel is 8-4 with a sub 3 ERA against the Reds careerwise. Historically, the Reds are hitting .222 against him.

Figures.

[RedsMan3203]

I love the emotion Brnadon shows on the field.... He was SO upset after he fouled that last pitch off.

[Tony Cloninger]

CTA513.... i agree with you. That GAB is a nice ballpark to look at....but it seems to give these hitters bad habits...or they just flat out don't really care that they are doing it, but going for the fences more often than not..is going to cause thse slumps.

I can deal with Griffey and Dunn doing this..... but when i see Lopez or Freel..who IMO should be .300+ hitters and worried about getting on base, trying to do it, that just shows me that they are wasting their AB's.

[OnBaseMachine]

Another hit for Phillips.

[RedsMan3203]

Base hit for Phillips..


Kearns on 3rd, Hattey on 2nd, Phillips on 1st. 0 outs.


Javy up...
