Heisey is a little old for the league, but he's got the look of a guy who could be a useful 4th OF or stopgap starting CF and leadoff guy in the Clark/Denorfia mold. You've got to love that 32/34 SB ratio last year. I suppose that implies that the Reds will let hit sit in the minors for the next 2 years, give him a sporadic shot to contribute at the major league level, and them release him or trade him for a PTBNL...
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
No, I mean Kevin @#*&! Barker. Was doing something else and typed the wrong first name. In a sane world the club would call him up so he could be disembowled in a pre-game ceremony before a sellout crowd.Originally Posted by camisadelgolf

I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Yeah, I just felt like giving somebody a hard time. I think it's only a matter of time before Barker or Bankston is traded for cash considerations.
Drew Stubbs doubles to lead off the bottom of the 4th inning.
Lecure: 5 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 4 K
Louisville trails 3-1 after 4 1/2 innings.
Stubbs flies out to the track to end the inning. Bats are hitting the ball hard, they just keep finding leather instead of grass.
An Adam Rosales makes a throwing error on a DP that leads to a Toledo run coming in. 4-1 Bats are losing.
Lecure's final line: 6 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 91 pitches.
Now 6-1 Toledo.
Adam Rosales hit a 2 run HR to make it 6-3.
Its now 6-5 after the Bats scored twice here in the 9th.
Bats lose 6-5.
Louisville lost 6-5.
Hopper: 1-for-4 SB
Stubbs: 1-for-4 double
Valaika: 0-for-4
Barker: 1-for-2 double, sac fly, walk
Gomes: 1-for-4 double, SB
Rosales: 1-for-4 HR (#2), 2 RBI
Bankston: 1-for-4 double
Castillo: 1-for-4
Tatum: 1-for-4 double
Lecure: 6 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 91 pitches.
Mallett: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Drew Stubbs dropped a pop up the same inning that Adam had the throwing error. The Bats should've coasted through that inning, instead it turned into a nightmare.
Also, while long-tossing w/the Bullpen catcher, Gomes through a LASER that went over the catcher's head and bounced around the stands!!! Good thing there wasn't very many people at the park tonight, that one would've hurt someone!
Thats not entirely accurate. Stubbs never touched that ball. He just lost it in the lights/clouds.
