Jeffords throws a 1-2-3 9th for the save. Dayton wins 6-4.

Chattanooga scored two runs in the 9th to tie the game at four but Viola allowed a run in the 9th to lose 5-4. Viola had been pitching better his last three games. RH hitters are crushing him.
Strait: 2-for-5 triple
Valaika: 2-for-3 double, walk (his walk rate is really improving in AA)
Henry: 1-for-3 double
Dorn: 2-for-2 double
The difference in calling him a bust and say Stubbs is track record and age. Though Stubbs has been getting on base a lot the last week or so. His numbers don't scream promotion to AA, and that puts him behind any normal schedule for someone his age and draft position.Originally Posted by reds44

Calling Stubbs a bust is just like those calling Mesoraco a bust after 7 games this year.... way to premature. Which was the point that was trying to be made.
And it's like calling Bailey a bust at the age of 22.
Bats lineup for tonight:
Dickerson CF
Green 2B
Bruce RF
Phillips 3B
Cabrera LF
Anderson DH
Rosales SS
Colina C
Hopefully tonight is the last minor league game of Jay Bruce's career.
I'm right there with you OBM.
Apples and oranges. There is no case for calling Mesoraco a bust. He's a HS pick and it's way to soon. Stubbs was/is older and SHOULD have advanced better than he has. Mesoraco is 19 and in A ball, could be 20 in high A next year. Stubbs will be 24 in AA, likely 25 in AAA and looks to be a 4th OF right now. He is easier to project at this point than Mesoraco. DM needs time before he can be evaluated.

You know, its too bad Devon's parents didn't name him Tom. Right now, Tom Thumb is the perfect nickname, but Devon Thumb just doesn't ring.
Bruce: 0-1
Andy Green went yard in the 1st.
Bruce singles in his 2nd AB.
Bruce singles. Nine game hitting streak.
Gonna be nice seeing him get on base for the Reds starting tuesday.

I guess we shall see if Bruce's lack of walks translates to more walk in the Majors.
I think when he isn't hitting well, he will be a major liability.
Though, compared to Patterson the awfull, that would probably seem like a oasis.
That really speaks to Patterson. Dusty's manlove for him is disturbing.
