7/11/08: Reds @ Crew--486 feet later, Dunn sits

[Razor Shines]

I'll always love Junior. But he doesn't belong in this lineup anymore. You're assuming that whoever could've played in place of Junior tonight wouldn't have also gotten that run in. Odds are good that someone else would've.

Sure, maybe. I think he has a place in the line up, just not as the 3 hitter, but what I said didn't have a lot to do with Jr. I was more ribbing you a little (in good fun, mind you) for complaining about Votto not being "fundamental" because he didn't advance the runner when he hit a screaming line drive.

Tip of the cap to Josh Fogg tonight.

I know...and I deserved it. Joey hit the ball hard, but as Marty & Brantley both said, that wasn't the job that he needed to do there. A grounder to the right or a fly ball to right is what was needed. But I'll take hitting the ball hard any day of the week over a strikeout. Especially a strikeout looking. Those just drive me nuts. Hence...my fits about Dunn from time to time. :O)

When Fogg (9.12 ERA as a starter) starts....

* REDS have a 4-2 record.
* Bullpen:
>> 3.29 ERA. Not bad considering they throw an avg. of 4.5 innings per game when Fogg starts. Get to see the not so reliable guys on the mound.
>> 30 Ks in 27.1 innings. 1.1 Ks per inning, 22% higher than their average.
>> Two blown saves... but came back to win both games.
* REDS average 6 runs scored per game. Their average is 4.3 per game.

7 back in the wild card now... keep on rollin! Cards now in the lead...

4 games under, right now that is my first goal.

Fogg does pretty well against MIL. Belisle likewise against PIT.
