    Good things.....

    Josh Hamilton.

    Nobody has thrown 115 or more pitchers in a game.

    Chad Moeller was sent down as soon as a right handed hitting outfielder was available.

    We have not seen Jeff Conine in the outfield.

    Matt Belisle has looked very good in three starts. He sports an ERA of 3.63 and has been a workhorse.

    As good as Belisle has been, Kyle Lohse has been just as good.

    Victor Santos. From NRI to pillar of the bullpen.

    For a fossil Mike Stanton has pitched lights out.


    Feel free to add to the list.

    Also Hopper has speed. The fact that Juan Castro was our best and only pinch runner was very sad...and slowwww.

    Also, I think Griffey is just about all healthy and I think he will start crushing balls by next week. Him killing the ball to left is a good sign. Even though he is a bit behind, he is not trying to pull everything which would result in ground balls to 2nd base.

    Yesterday's AB's notwithstanding, Adam Dunn is getting hits -
    he's batting .316 (12 singles, 2 doubles, 4 HR's) (9 RBI's, 10 runs scored) - extending these out for the season are enormous.

    Good thing too - that would play heck with our 25 man roster!

    Just kidding, I think there are several good things to be seen also. Plus as this is my entertainment, I prefer for the most part to hang my hopes on those rather than stew about the flaws.

    Re: Good things.....

    Harang and Arroyo are still healthy and have picked up where they left off last year.

    Milton has been demoted to 5th starter.

    Sarloos has been solid in limited action.

    Re: Good things.....

    I have now stopped crying. The Reds have only 2 catchers! And there is some youth and speed on the bench (with no offense to the scrap-tacular Jeff Conine and Juan Castro)? I must be dreaming! Now I am having visions of Rheal Cormier sipping a Corona on the beach somewhere...
